Manage episode 506652596 series 3678442
Ever been handed a patient's CT scan on a CD-ROM and wondered why medical systems struggle to communicate? The problem is that they need to speak the same language. This episode decodes the three essential standards of medical data exchange.
We break down DICOM (the "courier package" for images), HL7 (the "digital fax machine" for classic hospital data), and FHIR (the modern "smartphone app" enabling a connected future). Understand these acronyms to better appraise AI research and see the path forward for a truly interoperable healthcare system.
