FHIR 101

Out-Of-Pocket is partnering with Redox to teach healthcare and health tech operators, builders, and business leaders what FHIR actually is, how it works, and what it means for the way healthcare data moves.

Things You'll Get From This Course

Get clear on what FHIR is (and isn't)

Understand where FHIR came from, how it compares to older standards like HL7, and why it's become the lingua franca of health data interoperability.
1

Learn to read the spec

Walk away knowing how to navigate the FHIR specification and implementation guides like US Core and Da Vinci - so technical jargon stops feeling like a foreign language.
2

Understand how FHIR works in the real world

See how FHIR plays out in EHR integrations, where implementations vary across vendors, and what that means for anyone building on or connecting to health systems.
3

Get hands-on with FHIR

Use the Redox sandbox to explore FHIR resources, make queries, and walk through common use cases so the concepts actually stick.

Course Syllabus & Schedule

Module 1

Day 1

FHIR From the Top

(8/25, 12-1:30PM EST)

We'll start with the "why" before the "what." Healthcare has struggled with data interoperability for decades - HL7v2, C-CDA, and a long tail of standards and proprietary formats made sharing patient data harder than it should be. FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is HL7's modern, web-native standard. Day 1 covers what FHIR is, how it relates to HL7's earlier standards and where those standards still make sense today, what the current versioning landscape looks like (R4 today, R5 exists but isn't widely adopted, R6 on the horizon), and how to think about FHIR architecture - API-based vs. event-driven. You'll also get a high-level tour of the FHIR spec and implementation guides so you can speak confidently about what they are and when they apply.

Module 2

Day 2

FHIR By the Book

(8/26, 12-1:30PM EST)

The FHIR specification is massive, and it's easy to feel lost in it. Day 2 is about building the skills to navigate it. Rather than trying to cover everything, we'll walk through a real example end-to-end - using it to explore values, cardinality, data types, and constraints as they come up naturally. Along the way, we'll show you where implementation guides like US Core and Da Vinci live and what they require. By the end, you'll have the instincts to read any FHIR resource or IG (Implementation Guide) on your own.

Module 3

Day 3

FHIR in the Real World

(8/27, 12-1:30PM EST)

Day 3 is where things get interesting. We'll cover what it actually takes to build a FHIR server, connect to one, and query it for data. You'll learn about the practical realities: API response times, how EHR implementations vary across vendors, and how the same FHIR resources can look different depending on who's generating them. We'll close with a look at the most common FHIR use cases in health tech and a hands-on Redox sandbox exercise where you'll put everything from the week into practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this course for?

Anyone working in health tech who keeps hearing "FHIR" and wants to actually understand it. That includes product managers, engineers, founders, operators, and business folks - you don't need a clinical or technical background to get a lot out of this.

How much is it?

The course is free to attend thanks to our sponsors at Redox.

Do I have to be at every session? How long are they?

Each session is 90 minutes, and while recordings will be available, the material builds from one day to the next, so we strongly recommend attending all three live to get the full value.

Will I be a FHIR expert after finishing this course?

No. This course is meant to give you a solid foundation for understanding what FHIR is, how it works, and how it's actually used in health tech. You'll walk away with enough to hold your own in conversations, ask the right questions, and be ready for the 201. It can't make you an implementation engineer in a few hours - but it'll make you a lot less lost than you were before.

Is there a lot of work?

No mandatory homework. We'll have hands-on sandbox exercises during the sessions, but nothing you need to do before or after. Show up, engage, and you'll get plenty out of it.
