What are the Challenges of Implementing FHIR in Epidemiology?
While FHIR offers numerous benefits, there are also challenges associated with its implementation:
Data Quality: Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of data can be challenging, especially when integrating data from multiple sources. Technical Expertise: Implementing FHIR requires specialized knowledge, which may not be readily available in all healthcare settings. Cost: The initial setup and ongoing maintenance of FHIR-based systems can be expensive, particularly for smaller healthcare providers.
