As a new HL7 FHIR Accelerator, FAST will be able to continue its scalability work and develop infrastructural standards to support FHIR implementations.
The HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) at Scale Taskforce (FAST) initiative will continue its scalability work as an official HL7 FHIR Accelerator, a recent HealthITBuzz blog post from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) stated.
This announcement comes shortly after HL7 announced that ONC’s FAST would transition into an HL7 FHIR Accelerator.
In 2017, ONC founded FAST, a public-private partnership with industry stakeholders, to accelerate the scalability of FHIR across the industry by defining a standard set of infrastructure solutions.
