FHIR & Interoperability
Secure clinical document exchange
Sharing clinical documents between providers, patients, and systems requires conformant formats, reliable transport, and audit trails. In Australia, this typically means CDA via myHealth Record or emerging FHIR document standards.
Common challenges
What teams struggle with
Format fragmentation
Senders use CDA, PDF, FHIR, or proprietary formats — receivers need normalisation.
Document lifecycle tracking
Knowing whether a document was sent, received, viewed, and incorporated into the record.
Parsing inbound documents
Extracting structured data from inbound CDA and FHIR for display and decision support.
Secure transport
Documents contain sensitive health information requiring encryption and access controls.
