FAST HEALTHCARE INTEROPERABILITY RESOURCES (FHIR) EXTENSION INTEGRATION
Summary
Oracle International Corporation filed patent application US20260100270A1, published April 9, 2026, covering techniques for simplifying Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) extensions. The method receives a standard FHIR resource containing one or more standard data elements and an extension incorporating a non-standard data element defined by an external structure definition, then converts the resource into a normalized resource conforming to an integration model by normalizing the non-standard element. The normalized resource is provided as output and comprises the standard data elements and a normalized extension element including an attribute extending the standard resource. Filing date was May 22, 2025, application number 19216545.

What changed
Oracle International Corporation obtained USPTO publication of patent application US20260100270A1 (filed May 22, 2025, application 19216545) covering a method for normalizing FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) extensions. The invention receives a standard FHIR resource containing standard healthcare data elements plus one or more extensions with non-standard data elements defined by external structure definitions, converts the resource into a normalized resource conforming to an integration model by normalizing the non-standard data element, and provides the normalized resource as output.
Healthcare IT vendors, interoperability solution providers, and EHR system developers implementing or extending FHIR-based systems may wish to review the claims of this application for freedom-to-operate purposes. The integration model described suggests applications in health information exchange platforms, clinical data repositories, and interoperability middleware. CPC classifications G16H 40/20, G16H 70/20, and H04L 67/12 indicate relevance to healthcare informatics management systems and healthcare data transmission.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for simplifying extensions. A method comprises receiving data that comprises a standard resource that conforms to a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard, wherein the standard resource includes one or more standard data elements for representing and exchanging healthcare information; determining that the standard resource further includes an extension that incorporates a non-standard data element into the standard resource, wherein the non-standard data element is defined by a structure definition that is external from the data; converting the standard resource into a normalized resource that conforms with an integration model, wherein the converting includes normalizing the non-standard data element based on a schema of the integration model to generate a normalized extension element that includes an attribute that extends the standard resource, and wherein the normalized resource comprises the one or more standard data elements and the normalized extension element; and providing the normalized resource.
