Fortech is honored to announce that a team of its software developers had received their HL7 FHIR® Certifications, an essential step in addressing interoperability in healthcare projects developed by the company for a global client base. Interoperability gives physicians better access to critical health information due to the ability of EHRs and other medical systems to exchange data. Thus, our dedicated software teams are ready to be part of the future of digital health and continuously fight to improve their skills.
Each candidate attained the distinction of HL7 FHIR® R4 Proficiency Exam following a combination of an intense multi-month training course, practical experience, and study.
“As health data interoperability becomes essential in the medical sector, we find it crucial to learn and enhance our knowledge regarding data standards, information exchange, and reconciliation challenges. We want to be a tech partner who can operate with speed and insight to design, develop, and test secure software that uses HL7 FHIR interoperability standards. The certification demonstrates that our healthcare software development team has a good understanding of the fundamental concepts of FHIR and attests to their proficiency with the FHIR standard specification.” – Oana Oros, Growth Manager.
An HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) Proficient badge holder demonstrates knowledge of FHIR specification, relationship with HL7’s Versions 2, Version 3 and Clinical Document Architecture (CDA®), business cases for FHIR® adoption and future plans.
Healthcare professionals around the world look at FHIR® as a way to unlock data and emphasize on the importance of data exchange during patient care. According to SAP, 52% of healthcare executives agree that data sharing between providers, payers, government, and the healthcare industry will have the most significant impact on improving the patient experience. Leveraging the power of software, will enable healthcare practitioners to move patients’ data around, understand their medical context and ultimately coordinate care plans that transcend the boundaries of systems.
Developed by Health Level Seven (HL7) International, FHIR® is a next-generation standards framework that facilitates the exchange of healthcare information. Healthcare providers can make extensive use of FHIR® as it is suitable for mobile and cloud-based applications and electronic health records (EHR)-based data sharing systems.
