The Public Health FHIR Playbook is designed by the Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative (PHFIC) to help state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies successfully implement FHIR, a standard for electronic health data exchange. PHFIC developed the Playbook to describe FHIR, its policy context, and steps that enable successful FHIR implementation at public health agencies.

Published ONC data briefs on a variety of interoperability topics.

Resources resulting from a Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative workshop include a high-level overview of FHIR, a more in-depth review of the rules, regulations, and policy framework behind interoperability, and a workshop summary.

These FHIR Fact Sheets are a collaborative effort to help educate and demystify FHIR. These fact sheets summarize the key technical concepts that make up the foundation of FHIR, how it is developed in an open and public process, and why FHIR adoption has become the focus of the health IT standards world.
