Modern medicine relies on data interoperability. As healthcare systems transition to HL7 FHIR R4, logistics providers must adapt to support real-time digital chain of custody.
HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) R4 is the standard protocol for exchanging healthcare information electronically. It enables different systems, from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), to communicate seamlessly.
Integrating Logistics with LIS
Traditionally, the courier leg has been a black box. The LIS knows when a sample is ordered and when it arrives at the lab, but has no visibility in between. FHIR integration changes this by enabling real-time status updates, temperature telemetry, and ETA updates to flow directly into the patient record.
The DareMed Connect Advantage
DareMed Connect was built from the ground up as a FHIR-native logistics platform. We stream transport data in standard resource formats, allowing labs to automate receipt logging and pre-analytical validation.
