Healthcare Interoperability Navigator

A common resource model and interoperability framework that can support several interaction paradigms, not only REST.

Synchronous resource-oriented access where request/response semantics, search and discrete resource retrieval are appropriate.

When the exchange unit needs document characteristics such as wholeness, attestation context and human-readable narrative while using FHIR artefacts.

When a message event and receiver processing contract are more natural than resource CRUD.

Notifying consumers that relevant FHIR data has changed, avoiding wasteful polling and enabling event-driven architectures.

High-volume event-driven integration inside hospitals and established provider ecosystems, especially ADT, order and result feeds.

Persistent, human-readable, attestable clinical documents where document semantics matter.

Maintaining interoperability where a functioning V3-based national or enterprise service already exists.

Federated registration, discovery and retrieval of clinical documents across an affinity domain.

Federating document-sharing communities where a patient’s records may exist in more than one affinity domain.

A standardised FHIR interface for document sharing, including simpler access to XDS-style document infrastructures.

Building a document-sharing exchange using FHIR-profiled IHE components rather than classic XDS transactions.

The foundational standard for medical imaging objects, metadata and imaging workflows.

Web-native query, retrieve and store of DICOM objects and metadata.

Cross-enterprise discovery and retrieval of diagnostic imaging evidence using XDS-style infrastructure.

A minimal, clinically useful patient summary designed for international and cross-border reuse.

Rich, computable representation of clinical meaning and consistent coding across systems.

Universal identifiers for observations, measurements and laboratory/clinical tests, especially when exchanging results across organisational boundaries.

Machine-processable, unambiguous representation of units in quantitative clinical data.

Runtime terminology validation, value-set expansion, concept lookup and mappings using standard FHIR operations.

OAuth-based authorisation, authentication patterns and launch context for applications integrating with FHIR data systems.

General-purpose delegated authorisation and identity-layer patterns underpinning modern API security.

Invoking remote decision support at defined points in clinical workflow and returning actionable cards or suggestions.

Representing shareable computable clinical logic used in quality measurement and decision support.

FHIR-based patient identifier cross-reference and demographic query in multi-system environments.

Profiling OAuth-style authorisation for protected health-information APIs in cross-enterprise settings.

Standardised audit-event recording and node-authentication expectations in IHE environments.

Asynchronous export of large FHIR datasets where interactive resource-by-resource APIs would be inefficient.

Representing actionable work and status when interoperability requires more than exchanging clinical payloads.

Common UK FHIR profiles intended to provide reusable foundations for implementation guides and consistent information exchange.

Defines a common US data set and FHIR profiles that underpin certified API interoperability and many US implementation guides.

Defines Australian core FHIR profiles and data-content expectations for consistent national exchange.

Provides reusable New Zealand FHIR artefacts and a national core data set for interoperable exchange.

A foundational set of pan-Canadian FHIR profiles, extensions and terminology artefacts intended to harmonise jurisdictional specifications.

Harmonising priority categories of electronic health data and EHR interoperability across the EU under the EHDS Regulation.
