While healthcare is rapidly adapting to the digital era, the basic systems and processes for conducting clinical studies to assess new medical treatments are still based on the legacy of a separate, paper-based, parallel process. EDC helped, but still was based on collecting data in a separate, siloed process disconnected from general healthcare practices.
Given the priorities of the FDA to incorporate real-world evidence from EHRs as eSource, coupled with industry pressure to reduce cost and time to market while reducing the burden on sites, the emergence and adoption of HL7 FHIR as a universal standard API that can make healthcare data readily available in a standard format for research purposes provides a provocative lever for reimagining research.

This session will examine the current state, readiness, and opportunities for applying FHIR to dramatically transform the research process.

Learning Objectives

Discuss the basics of FHIR APIs, how they support goals of 21st Century Cures, and what FHIR can do for a variety of research-related use cases; Describe how experienced implementers worked with FHIR, and how the FHIR community is working to achieve interoperability among providers, investigators, researchers and patients.
