Seeking Comments on Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources for NIH-Supported Research
NIH is currently accepting public comments on the use of standards for capturing, integrating, and exchanging clinical data for research purposes (NOT-OD-19-150). This is a great opportunity to hear more from the community on ways to strengthen approaches that find, share, and access high-quality patient data, while also making it more interoperable and reusable. Such goals align with long-standing NIH data sharing policies and what was also called for in a related NIH strategic plan on data science. The Request for Information focuses on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard (see also NOT-OD-...
