Lo standard FHIR e il Fascicolo Sanitario 2.0

Sviluppo di una Implementation Guide per il Taccuino personale dell’assistito

Abstract

FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource) is a standard developed by HL7 (Health Level 7) International to represent health data, through data structures called “resources”. The use of this standard is considered the most suitable choice to overcome the
current limitations of the Italian EHR (Electronic Health Record). In compliance with the Italian regulations, new technical specifications are gradually issued by competent authorities to facilitate the population of EHRs with both digital native and converted data in FHIR. This work describes the analysis carried out to propose a FHIR Implementation Guide for the “Taccuino”, which provides a number of functions typically included in a PHR (Personal Health Record), because it is a section of the EHR where data are directly stored by the patient. This makes it possible to i) populate this section with a syntactically and semantically homogeneous content and ii) create an increasingly patient-centred healthcare.
