DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The HL7 FHIR Standard has been used by healthcare application implementers across the globe, drawn by its ease of use. FHIR is a landmark step to remove many of the barriers to healthcare data exchange.
Utilizing this IG, which is tightly aligned with newly available standards such as FHIR R4 APIs and the United States Core Date for Interoperability (USCDI)/US Core Profiles, for electronic reporting will increase the response rate of sampled hospitals and ambulatory health care providers to the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) and the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) over other data collection approaches. This will also increase the volume, quality, completeness, and timeliness of the data submitted to the NHCS and NAMCS. This reporting approach via automated means (without provider involvement) will reduce the burden associated with survey participation and reduce costs associated with recruiting hospital and ambulatory health care providers.
