Requirements
- Basic understanding of healthcare interoperability concepts (e.g., data exchange, standards like HL7).
- Familiarity with HL7 FHIR is recommended, especially for Part II.
- Prior knowledge of IHE terms and artifacts is helpful but not required, the course intentionally introduces them gradually.
- Some technical literacy (e.g., understanding of APIs, data formats like JSON) is beneficial for engaging with mobile profile content and testing tools.
- Willingness to explore national implementation guides and adapt profiles to local needs.
Description
There are likely several hundred or even thousands of standards that healthcare organizations may need to comply with, depending on the country or region, the types of services they provide, and the regulatory bodies overseeing them.
In this course, we will focus on a specific set of standards and implementation approaches that have directly or indirectly influenced the development and adoption of HL7 FHIR within the IHE framework - particularly through IHE's Mobile Profiles.
The primary audience for this training includes software developers, testers, interface analysts, system integrators, and digital health professionals and others who are looking for a structured and practical introduction to IHE FHIR-based Mobile Profiles.
As someone who has worked closely with implementers and standards organizations, I've designed this course to help you prioritize what to learn first, understand how to interpret IHE Technical Frameworks, and apply the FHIR-based profiles to real-world scenarios. Whether you're just getting started or looking to deepen your understanding, the lessons are organized to help you get up to speed efficiently.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to navigate the IHE Technical Framework, understand how Mobile Profiles are structured and used, and know how to interpret national extensions. You'll also gain insight into the tools, resources, and processes that support standards-based health information exchange.
This course is a practical guide to mastering IHE on FHIR - designed to help you apply what you’ve learned directly to your healthcare IT projects and interoperability initiatives.
Who this course is for:
- This course is intentionally made less technical to be accessible to a broader audience involved in shaping business and technical use cases for healthcare interoperability.
- Ideal for healthcare IT professionals, business analysts, policy makers, standards developers, and project managers seeking to understand how IHE and FHIR work together in real-world implementations.
- Also suitable for consultants, trainers, and vendor representatives who support digital health projects or contribute to national and regional interoperability initiatives.
