Context
FHIR® – Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (hl7.org/fhir) – is the next generation standards framework created by HL7 International. FHIR combines the best features of HL7's v2 
, HL7 v3 and CDA product lines while leveraging the latest web standards and applying a tight focus on implementability.
While the standards is still in its infancy, not having reached Normative status yet, there is an increasing number of early adopters that are rushing in to capitalize on its promise - easier and faster integration. There is ample written material on the web that both praises FHIR and warns against reckless adoption practices. This site will attempt to collect the most relevant factual arguments in an effort to bring some clarity and alignment for Canadian implementers.
