Overview
This group is a collaborative forum focused on advancing the implementation of FHIR® across Canada. It does this by enabling coordination and knowledge sharing on pan‑Canadian approaches to constraining, extending, and applying FHIR through shared implementation practices and workstreams. This matters because consistent, harmonized FHIR implementations reduce variation and support interoperable data exchange across jurisdictions and solutions.
Ultimately, this work helps align Canadian implementations with each other and with global FHIR practices to support scalable interoperability.
Who it’s for
Intended for jurisdictions, vendors, clinicians, policymakers, researchers, and standards organizations involved in Canada’s digital health ecosystem who design, implement, govern, or support FHIR‑based interoperability solutions.
