With the help of documentation, developers can complete the authorization process seamlessly. Also with the help of proper documentation, the healthcare sector can move towards robust health data standardization. Standards like Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources can be essential to the future of API development.
3) Search API
Basically, FHIR is a search API. It allows the exchange of information between the two devices and at the same time, it uses technologies to broadcast data in a modern and effective way. Apart from this if anyone who is willing to develop an app can simply access the FHIR spec and develop the app in the most significant and efficient way.
4) Business prospective
The technical advancement that FHIR offers to the healthcare sector is not the only sole reason to adopt it in the organization. There are various business benefits associated with it that have to be considered.
- It increases the worth of the sector in the eyes of stakeholders.
