The 21st Century Cures Act included a requirement for easy exchange of health data by the end of 2022. Since the end of 2022 is not that far away, how is the health care industry going to accomplish this mission?

Health care generates many types of data, ranging from simple to extremely complex, and needs a thick, detailed instruction manual. That manual is called Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR®, pronounced “fire”), and it’s the one that the 21st Century Cures Act specifies be used to accomplish the easy interoperability we described above by the end of this year.
