Best HL7 FHIR Training Interview Questions

1. What is HL7 FHIR and why is it used?

HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a standard used to exchange healthcare data using modern technologies like REST APIs, JSON, and XML. It simplifies interoperability between healthcare systems compared to traditional HL7 standards.

2. What are FHIR Resources?

FHIR resources are the basic building blocks of FHIR. Each resource represents a healthcare concept such as Patient, Observation, Encounter, Practitioner, or Medication.
Example:
Patient → demographic details
Observation → lab results or vital signs

3. What HTTP methods are used in FHIR?

FHIR uses RESTful HTTP methods:
GET – Read data
POST – Create data
PUT – Update data
DELETE – Remove data

4. What is a FHIR Profile?

A FHIR Profile customizes a base resource by defining required fields, value sets, and constraints to meet specific healthcare requirements.

5. Can HL7 v2 be converted to FHIR?

Yes. HL7 v2 messages can be transformed into FHIR resources using integration engines like Mirth Connect.

6. What skills are required to learn HL7 FHIR?

Basic knowledge of:
Healthcare workflows
REST APIs
JSON
HL7 basics (helpful but not mandatory)

HL7 FHIR Certification Questions

1. Why does FHIR use a resource-based model instead of messages?

FHIR uses a resource-based model to enable modular, reusable, and API-driven data exchange. Resources can be accessed independently, updated partially, and reused across workflows, unlike rigid message-based systems.
Certification focus:
Tests architectural understanding, not memorization.

2. How do FHIR Profiles improve interoperability without breaking the standard?

FHIR Profiles restrict and extend base resources using cardinality rules, terminology bindings, and constraints, while still remaining compliant with the core FHIR specification.
Key exam insight:
Profiles enforce consistency without changing base resources.

3. What is the difference between FHIR Extensions and Profiles?

Profiles constrain existing elements
Extensions add new elements when no standard element exists
Rule tested in exams:
Use extensions only after confirming no standard field meets the requirement.

4. How does FHIR handle versioning and backward compatibility?

FHIR maintains backward compatibility by stabilizing resources, using semantic versioning, and introducing changes through extensions rather than breaking existing structures.
Why this is asked:
Shows system-design maturity.

5. Explain the role of terminology services in FHIR.

Terminology services manage CodeSystems, ValueSets, and concept validation, ensuring consistent clinical meaning across systems.
Exam angle:
Semantic interoperability is as important as data format.

6. Why is RESTful design critical to FHIR adoption?

FHIR uses REST because it enables stateless communication, scalability, and wide developer adoption using standard web technologies.
Certification insight:
FHIR’s success is tied to modern API principles.

7. What is the purpose of FHIR Bundles in transactions?

Bundles allow multiple resources to be processed together in atomic transactions, ensuring data consistency across related operations.
Real-world example:
Creating a Patient, Encounter, and Observation together.
