FHIR R5
In January 2024, the United States Regulators Steering Committee (USRSC) made a significant decision regarding the future of FHIR implementation in the U.S. They announced that the next version of US Core will be based on FHIR R6, effectively signaling a strategic move to bypass R5.
As a result, Medplum's R5 development efforts are currently paused. We remain focused on aligning with US Core and USCDI, which are built on FHIR R4, and will continue to monitor the progress of FHIR R6.
We are excited to hear about the release of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources FHIR R5, the latest version of the healthcare data interoperability standard. This new version builds on the previous versions of FHIR and incorporates new features and improvements to further support healthcare data exchange and interoperability.
