Asia eHealth Network Launches HL7 FHIR Training to Boost Interoperability
Asia, Wednesday, 25 June 2025.
On June 5, 2025, AeHIN initiated HL7 FHIR training, focusing on improving healthcare data exchange and interoperability, setting a standard for digital health transformation across Asia.
Regional Impact of HL7 FHIR Training
On June 5, 2025, the Asia eHealth Information Network (AeHIN) officially launched its inaugural HL7 FHIR Fundamentals Training. This program is a significant milestone in the efforts to bolster healthcare interoperability across Asia. The implementation of the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) framework is crucial for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of patient data exchange between different healthcare systems, a challenge that Asia faces in its sprawling digital health landscape [1].
Training Structure and Objectives
The training, part of a strategic regional partnership between AeHIN and HL7 International, which was established to run until December 2025, aims to equip healthcare professionals with essential skills in digital health standards. Focusing on the specifics of FHIR, the training includes official materials, assessments conducted by HL7-certified educators, and a region-specific approach to address local needs and challenges [1][2].
Participant Engagement and Future Implications
The initial phase of this training was marked by a Participant Orientation held on May 29, 2025, drawing 160 healthcare professionals from various Asian countries. This diverse participation underscores the demand and need for standardized digital health training across the continent. The session emphasized the importance of building a competent community capable of implementing HL7 FHIR standards to ensure seamless health information exchange [1][3].
Advancing Digital Health in Asia
As healthcare stakeholders in Asia increasingly acknowledge the transformative potential of digital health, the training initiative by AeHIN sets a precedent for future programs. By standardizing data exchange, healthcare providers can not only improve patient care but also streamline clinical workflows. This regions-wide initiative highlights the critical role of interoperability in achieving comprehensive, efficient healthcare delivery systems on a global scale [2][4].
