Building FHIR UIs with the Visiontree Solution ​

Overview ​

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) has transformed healthcare data interfacing. Yet, designing user-friendly interfaces for FHIR can be intricate. This documentation offers insight into these complexities and presents the Visiontree solution, a unified approach to address these challenges.

Understanding the FHIR UI Challenge ​

Creating a FHIR-integrated application often leads to a crucial decision: Which comes first – the FHIR data model or the user interface?

  1. Leading with the FHIR Data Model: Starting with the FHIR data model seems like a straightforward decision. Basing the UI on FHIR's structure ensures both compatibility and clarity. However, this often leads to less intuitive user interfaces. Adjusting these interfaces, later on, means navigating the complex data model, a repetitive and resource-heavy process.

  2. Leading with the User Interface: Alternatively, starting with the UI without prioritizing FHIR's data model presents its own set of problems. Such interfaces might not align well with FHIR's requirements. This misalignment results in extended quality assurance processes, thereby increasing both development time and expenses.

Introducing the Visiontree Solution: Bridging UI and FHIR ​

To tackle these challenges, a fresh perspective is essential. The key lies in aligning the UI design and the FHIR data model from the beginning, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship.

The Visiontree solution is designed on this very principle. It seamlessly integrates the UI with the data model. This guarantees an intuitive user experience while maintaining flawless FHIR data integrity. By merging design and development, Visiontree reduces potential misalignments, optimizing the development process.

Conclusion ​

In the realm of healthcare data interoperability, the Visiontree solution emerges as a pioneering method for crafting efficient, user-centric, and FHIR-compatible applications. This convergence of UI and FHIR signifies a progressive shift in healthcare application development.
