Yes, we plan to release some HL7 FHIR support for the 2.8 release. I've
been working on a web app for that task. The FHIR standard is an
interoperability standard. The goal, for us, is to make Health work
across EHR products. We picked the FHIR standard to accomplish
interoperability. However, standards only work when products support
them. In the States, there are only 2 or 3 major EHR vendors, and they
actively prevent interoperability in their products. Other places have
different EHR markets. So... benefits?  Well, it is a robust standard
and we should at least support it. Hehe.
