Modern eHealth infrastructures are composed of a multitude of digital systems that process information from business processes in the health care sector. These systems need to exchange data in order to comprehensively support a patients journey through the health care system. Ambiguous, contradicting or misinterpreted data can harm a patients life in the worst case. Therefore interoperability standards are needed to harmonize the data exchange among all involved systems. As a secondary effect, FHIR defines and unifies technical terms on the domain level.
