Digital Square on FHIR
FHIR Training
Digital Square's FHIR-focused webinar series provides guidance to help digital health developers, innovators, digital public goods and global goods developers, and implementers better understand how to use FHIR to address specific use cases, such as technical guidance for COVID-19 vaccination certificates. This work also increases the maturity of FHIR through the use and feedback to HL7 through their collaborative process.
Digital Square hosts monthly webinars to enhance digital health's capacity. The FHIR training material on this site is designed for digital health leaders with some or limited prior experience and knowledge of FHIR. All sessions are recorded and shared here.
FHIR Foundational Series
These sessions provide a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of FHIR, how it works, and supports interoperability in healthcare. These sessions are helpful for beginners who want to become familiar with FHIR. Look out for French and Spanish webinars coming soon.
FHIR 101 Refresher
This kick-off webinar reviews the basics of FHIR, including the overall approach, information models, and the relationship between FHIR and other standards. It also provides key pointers for participants to seek further information and engage with the rest of the FHIR community.
FHIR Profiling & Documentation
This webinar explores the basics for creating and documenting a FHIR specification for a project, a country, or an individual application. Additionally, the components of a FHIR specification and how specifications can be documented to accelerate delivery through validation, testing, and automation. Learn how FHIR specifications can be extended and constrained to support specific needs. Additionally, learn some of the basic FHIR features around localization and multi-language, which become more critical when implementing FHIR profiles.
FHIR and Terminology
This session introduces FHIR® support for terminologies: Standard (global) terminologies like SNOMED CT, LOINC, or local terminologies (for example, national codes) vs. project-specific terminologies. Learn about FHIR resources for terminologies, how they are used in the other FHIR resources, how to define new terminology resources, and how to localize the value sets.
FHIR Implementation Guide
This is a practical workshop-like session to create a FHIR specification publication. Using open-source tools, here is a step-by-step guide to creating a publication of an Implementation Guide in the most fundamental aspects: Setting up a (shared) repository, adding FHIR® conformance resources (e.g., profiles, extensions, value sets), importing dependencies from other specifications, adding narrative text and diagrams, and using a shorthand language to accelerate the work. The goal is to help you create your first FHIR Implementation Guide!
FHIR Webinars Series
These next-level webinars deep dive into the world of FHIR and set up conversations for the more complex aspects of FHIR. These webinars cover various implementation aspects and showcase some exciting work that the Digital Square global goods innovators have already done. These sessions are helpful to those with prior experience in implementing FHIR.
FHIR-side Chats
These chats, facilitated by FHIR experts, are an informal, monthly user group conversation for the digital health community to get together and share their experiences with FHIR. These sessions are audience-led conversations on anything FHIR, from user experience stories, challenges, and solutions to building FHIR together.
