  1. FHIR VS EDI IN HEALTHCARE: WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU? www.capminds.com

  2. INTRODUCTION • Today, the healthcare organisations are working harder towards modernizing their data process. • Before, the EDI standards like HL7, ANSI X12 have widely used for data modelling and communication purposes within the healthcare organisation. • But now, the new advanced data standard FHIR, developed by HL7 International has gained a huge adoption rate among the tech savvy healthcare professionals.

  3. What is EDI? • Healthcare EDI is an electronic data interchange used in healthcare systems. • With the help of EDI standards, healthcare organisations can transmit data back and forth using standardised formats specially designed for that specific industry. • Healthcare EDI transmits messages in the following ways: Peer-to-peer messaging Value-added networks (VANs) Mobile EDI Cloud EDI

  4. What is FHIR? • FHIR solves the same problem that EDI solves: in order to effectively communicate data, there must be a standard way of modeling that data so that all parties can understand what the data represents. • At its core, FHIR is simply a description of how healthcare data can be organized and presented so that the meaning of the data is clear.

  5. What Makes FHIR Different from EDI? • FHIR is an API-driven data standard, while EDI is a document-driven data standard. This difference has two major implications: • FHIR data payloads can be more flexible, since they are based on API resources rather than full EDI documents • FHIR data transfer is simpler than EDI (FHIR uses the same transfer technology used by ordinary web browsers)

  6. EDI Vs FHIR: The Key Differences • API Resources vs EDI Documents • API-driven technologies like FHIR can support a wide range of communications by combining API resources in customized ways. • In contrast, EDI document models are designed from the top-down to capture a rigid set of information. 

  7. EDI Vs FHIR: The Key Differences • API Requests vs EDI Transfer • APIs operate using a request-response model. This means that communicating using the FHIR standard functions similarly to asking a question and immediately receiving an answer. • In contrast, EDI requires a separate protocol to transfer documents to remote parties.

  8. Why Should You Use FHIR? • Even outside of the healthcare industry, data movement is consistently becoming more API-driven. • The benefits that FHIR provides compared to EDI are an example of this more global trend, and they include: • Simplicity • Flexibility • Enhanced Interoperability

  9. Why Should You Use FHIR? • FHIR allows for more flexible data consumption by replacing rigid EDI documents with flexible API resources. • Interoperability is another benefit of moving towards API-driven communication.  • FHIR simplifies healthcare data exchange by reducing the layers of complexity required to package data and send it to a remote party.
