Last few months back Microsoft announced its plans to light up healthcare and data via azure for FHIR(fast healthcare interoperability resource )FHIR was designed to facilitate the exchange and management of data while helping healthcare providers to build and maintain their service on top-level
Today Microsoft has moved its new Azure for FHIR into general availability to make it first cloud platform fully managed.
Also, customers who may include researchers, developers, or device manufactures, can use the company's new platform-as-a-service (PaaS) to free up time.
With respect to the PaaS, Professor Neil Sebire, Chief Research Information Officer at Great Ormand Street Hospital (GOSH) in London said:
"We now have a unified API as a basis for designing, testing, and deploying the next generation of machine learning and digital services in the hospital for our young patients. This will also enable rapid and easier collaboration with our international pediatric hospital partners to share specialised tools to improve patient outcomes and experience."
Microsoft has also outlined a number of key features of Azure API for FHIR, which include:
- Provision and start running an enterprise-grade, managed FHIR service in just a few minutes
- Support for R3 and R4 of the FHIR Standard
- Role Based Access Control (RBAC) – allowing you to manage access to your data at scale
- Audit log tracking for access, creation, modification, and reads within each data store
- Secure compliance in the cloud: ISO 27001:2013 certified, supports HIPAA and GDPR, and built on the HITRUST-certified Azure platform
- Global Availability and Protection of your data with multi-region failover
- SMART on FHIR functionality
