HL7 FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST) is hosting a discussion on national interoperability efforts on September 17 at 1 p.m. ET with State HIT Connect, HL7 Da Vinci Project, The Sequoia Project, and Didi Davis, Casey Thompson, David Pyke, and Janice Reese.

The FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST) identifies Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) scalability gaps, defines solutions to address current barriers, and identifies needed infrastructure for scalable FHIR solutions. FAST approached its work by first analyzing FHIR pilots, prototypes and functional use cases already underway to evaluate potential trouble spots. The team then considered and documented various approaches and solutions. These proposed solutions were then socialized through the FAST Technical Learning Community (TLC), conference presentations, collaborative SME Sessions and Connectathons. FAST work continues as the teams transform FAST solution concepts into actionable and implementable forms whether HL7 Implementations Guides, industry guidance or assets.
