33 deep links into FHIR

Darren Devitt

Navigating the FHIR documentation is not easy.

Everyone’s focus is different — diagnostic reporting, insurance claims, terminology, medication, developers, clinicians, architects.

We all approach FHIR from different directions and in different contexts.

Here are 33 deep links into the FHIR documentation, broken down for you.

The overview gets you started. The modules help you drill down into your medical area. Extending FHIR is for when things get advanced.
