FHIR Standards

Clinical data in Health Gorilla APIs is structured using HL7® FHIR® to ensure semantic consistency and interoperability. Resources are versioned, coded with standard terminologies, and tagged with metadata to support security, provenance, and routing.

FHIR Versions

Compare support for R4 and STU3 versions, including compatibility constraints and version-specific behaviors.

RESTful Interactions

Perform FHIR operations using standard REST methods to retrieve, create, update, or delete clinical data.

Resource Structure

Understand how FHIR resources are structured and how key elements such as identifiers and metadata define relationships across systems.

Metadata Tags

Classify, route, and secure FHIR resources using meta.tag and meta.security fields.

Code Systems

Use standard coding systems such as LOINC, SNOMED CT, RxNorm, and ICD-10 to represent clinical concepts.

Documents and Files

Retrieve structured documents and unstructured files using DocumentReference and Binary resources.

Lab Results Structure

Understand how Health Gorilla structures laboratory results using DiagnosticReport, Observation, and FHIR extensions to represent report-panel-test hierarchies.

PractionerRole Create

Create a PractitionerRole to associate a practitioner with an organization, specialty, specialty, and contact details.
