This investigation reveals interoperability challenges in healthcare sectors using FHIR standards in Germany, indicating a need for better integration.
Germany's introduction of the electronic patient record (ePA) aims to improve healthcare quality through better information availability. The ePA will be based on the FHIR standard, with different healthcare sectors using sector-specific FHIR profiles developed by independent teams within the national digital health agency [1]. This paper investigates the interoperability challenges resulting from this decentralized development approach.
