Experts, industry, and EU-funded projects are converging on the HL7 FHIR as a route to interoperable healthcare and a central tenet of the European Electronic Health Record and its Exchange Format. 

Hospitals and every healthcare providers are where health data is predominantly created. Data located in these organizations needs to be shared, in support of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) creation and to become a reality for citizens by supporting the primary and secondary use of health data. 

The Hospitals-on-FHIR initiative is a Community of Practice aimed at boosting interoperability maturity in organizations, fostering a progressive and collaborative approach to gearing up to the EHDS ethos of creating value for patients through data sharing.
