FHIR or HL7v2? What Healthcare IT Leaders Need to Know

FHIR vs. HL7v2 isn’t simply a choice between old and new—it’s about selecting the right interoperability approach for your healthcare environment. HL7v2 remains widely used for exchanging clinical messages across legacy systems, while FHIR enables modern, API-driven data exchange with greater flexibility and easier integration. For healthcare IT leaders, the key is understanding where each standard fits, how they can work together, and when migration to FHIR makes business sense. A practical interoperability strategy can help connect legacy EHRs with modern applications while improving data accessibility, scalability, and patient care.
