Vulcan Interoperability Bridge

The Vulcan FHIR® Accelerator, in coordination with the US Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/ Office of the National Coordinator (ASTP/ONC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is organizing the Vulcan Interoperability Bridge (VIB) event.

The VIB event aims to accelerate the adoption of healthcare data standards for research – underscoring the value of using HL7 FHIR® to solve existing challenges and explore novel opportunities in research data interoperability.

The August 21 webinar was the first information event and was designed to share information on how we will convene clinical research sponsors, including pharmaceutical companies and academic medical centres, EHR providers, clinical research sites and technology solutions providers to work together to demonstrate how clinical care and research interoperability is achievable utilizing existing HL7 FHIR® standards and Implementation Guides.
