Grahame Grieve is the FHIR Product Director and one of the founders of the FHIR standard. This video was recorded at the FHIR DevDays 6 months ago.
It’s fresh and very relevant — especially to enterprise architects and product owners working with healthcare data and FHIR servers.
What interested me most was what he had to say about the normalization of resources in version R6 — that the number of normalized resources may be far higher than expected.
Normalization is when a resource becomes fixed or almost fixed. The expectation is that ‘normalized’ resources do not introduce breaking changes in future releases.
It means stability. Stability that businesses and organizations can depend on and build on.
If you or your organization are building large scale solutions involving FHIR, you should know what’s coming down the tracks.
30 minutes well spent.
