Have you started sketching the architecture for CMS-0057-F yet, or are you still waiting for a vendor short-list to land on your desk? The Jan 1, 2027 enforcement date is close enough that the choice is no longer abstract, and the shape…

Real-time patient data capture sits in an uncomfortable spot. The clinician needs instant feedback, the form has to validate against a FHIR Questionnaire, and the data has to land in a downstream system the moment the user moves to the next

API-first healthcare platforms have a specific problem with forms. The form layer needs to behave like every other service in the stack: predictable HTTP, stable resource shapes, and renderers that do not assume a particular UI framework. T

Picking a FHIR form builder for a modern healthcare stack is one of those decisions that looks simple on the slide and gets messy two sprints in. The form layer is where SDC, FHIR Questionnaire, custom UI components, and a half-dozen integr

FHIR implementation follows a repeatable playbook. Seven steps cover essentially every production deployment. Step 1: Scope and stakeholder alignment. Define what FHIR APIs, which profiles, which regulatory targets, which timeline. Executive sponsor and dedicated team. Step 2: Server and infrastructure selection. Pick FHIR server, terminology server, auth server based on requirements. See vendor comparison. Step […]

Every resource conforms to a specific profile. US Core baseline; specialty profiles for specific use cases. Pattern 2: Extension for site-specific data. Custom fields via Extension.

But things are (slowly) getting better, thanks in part to FHIR. And FHIR compliance? Well, that’s the golden ticket to interoperability. Today, […]
