📊 What are FHIR data standards? Last week we published an independent report about the data maturity of local authority social care teams in Wales. The report also explored how ready the sector is to integrate social care data with healthcare data through the National Data Resource (NDR), which would mean being compatible with the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards.
