ABSTRACT
Objective:
Understanding the current state of real-world Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) applications (apps) will benefit biomedical research and clinical care and facilitate advancement of the standard. This study aimed to provide a preliminary assessment of these apps' clinical, technical, and implementation characteristics. Materials andMethods:
We searched public repositories for potentially eligible FHIR apps and surveyed app implementers and other stakeholders.Results:
Of the 112 apps surveyed, most focused on clinical care (74) or research (45); were implemented across multiple sites (56); and used SMART-on-FHIR (55) and FHIR version R4 (69). Apps were primarily stand-alone web-based (67) or electronic health record (EHR)-embedded (51), although 49 were not listed in an EHR app gallery.Discussion:
Though limited in scope, our results show FHIR apps encompass various domains and characteristics.Conclusion:
As FHIR use expands, this study-one of the first to characterize FHIR apps at large-highlights the need for systematic, comprehensive methods to assess their characteristics.
