DAPB4020: UK Core Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Release 4 (R4) Governance

This new information standard formally introduces the governance process for the oversight, direction and leadership of the UK Core Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Release 4. The standard mandates, within the health and care sector in England, a consistent approach to the development of UK Core resources, thereby facilitating clear interoperability in the sharing of data across the NHS, health services and adult social care in England.

This information standard is published under section 250 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. An Information Standards Notice (see below) provides an overview of scope and implementation timescales, and the requirements specification provides further detail for those who have to implement the information standard.
