Infoway's Terminology Server: Integrates with HL7 FHIR Tooling Ecosystem

We’re excited to share a major milestone for interoperability in Canada! Infoway’s FHIR-capable Terminology Server is now fully integrated with HL7 International’s FHIR tooling ecosystem. This integration streamlines access to Infoway-hosted terminologies, making it easier for standards specialists, vendors, and conformance testers to ensure consistent and accurate terminology use. With this integration, users can now directly access Infoway-hosted code systems and value sets for Implementation Guides (IGs) and validation processes, which ensures consistent, accurate terminology use while reducing effort and errors.

Key Benefits:

• Seamless Access: Canadian terminologies, like SNOMED CT CA, are instantly available in the HL7 tooling ecosystem upon publication.
• Enhanced Conformance Testing: Testers can validate directly against Infoway-hosted terminologies, simplifying events like the IHE NA Connectathon or Pan-Canadian Projectathon.
• Efficiency & Accuracy: Automatic updates eliminate delays and manual effort, reducing errors.

Getting Started:
To configure HL7 tools, you’ll need an API key from Infoway. Supported versions include:

• HL7 IG Publisher: Version 1.8.1+
• HL7 Validator: Version 6.5.0+

For details, refer to HL7’s documentation.
