Summary
This 2021 publication describes REDCap's adoption of FHIR standards to enhance clinical data interoperability, enabling seamless data exchange across health information systems. The work reports on technical architecture and implementation strategies for FHIR integration within the widely-used REDCap data capture platform. As a systems paper, it addresses standardisation challenges in clinical informatics rather than agricultural or nutritional outcomes.
UK applicability
This paper has limited direct applicability to UK farming systems, soil health or nutrient density research. However, improved clinical data interoperability standards may indirectly benefit nutrition and food systems research in the UK by facilitating better dietary and health outcome data linkage in clinical trials.
Key measures
FHIR compliance metrics; interoperability service functionality; data exchange standards and protocols
Outcomes reported
The study describes REDCap's implementation of FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards to enable clinical data interoperability and exchange. It reports on technical approaches and services for integrating REDCap with FHIR-compliant health information systems.
