Introduction
FHIR® – Fast Health Interoperable Resources (hl7.org/fhir) – is a next generation standards framework created by HL7. FHIR combines the best features of HL7’s Version 2, Version 3 and CDA® product lines while leveraging the latest web standards and applying a tight focus on implementability.
FHIR solutions are built from a set of modular components called “Resources”. These resources can easily be assembled into working systems that solve real world clinical and administrative problems at a fraction of the price of existing alternatives. FHIR is suitable for use in a wide variety of contexts – mobile phone apps, cloud communications, EHR-based data sharing, server communication in large institutional healthcare providers, and much more

A number of FHIR clinical resources were developed, passed ballots and reached DSTU status in January 2014.

These clinical resources are under stewardship of PCWG:
- 1. Adverse Reaction
- 2. Allergy Intolerance
- 3. Care Plan
- 4. Condition
- 5. Family History
- 6. Procedure
- 7. Questionnaire
PCWG works closely with FHIR team to provide clinical and clinical informatics (and where appropriate, engineering) inputs to help continuous improvement of these resources
PCWG members also work closely with FHIR team to develop new FHIR clinical resources

Developing PCWG FHIR Resources - Processes:
The steps are as follows:
- 1. Put together a PSS and get it approved through the usual channels.
- 2. Write up a resource proposal and submit it to the FMG. The template is here:
- 3. Create resource. Instructions are here:
- 4. Run the build. Instructions are here:
Just keep in mind during #2 the onus will be on PCWG to explain how that will work better for implementers
