The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR&#174;) specification defines an API for querying resources in a FHIR server database. This article will guide you through some key aspects of querying data in FHIR. For complete details about the FHIR search API, refer to the HL7 [FHIR Search](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/search.html) documentation.

FHIR searches can be against a specific resource type, a specified [compartment](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/compartmentdefinition.html), or all resources in the FHIR server database. The simplest way to execute a search in FHIR is to use a `GET` request. For example, if you want to pull all `Patient` resources in the database, you could use the following request:

The FHIR service allows you to quickly create and deploy a FHIR server in just minutes to leverage the elastic scale of the cloud for ingesting, persisting, and querying FHIR data. The Azure services that power the FHIR service are designed for high performance no matter how much data you're working with.

The FHIR API provisioned in the FHIR service enables any FHIR-compliant system to securely connect and interact with FHIR data. As a PaaS offering, Microsoft takes on the operations, maintenance, update, and compliance requirements for the FHIR service so you can free up your own operational and development resources.

The healthcare industry is rapidly adopting [FHIR®](https://hl7.org/fhir) as the industry-wide standard for health data storage, querying, and exchange. FHIR provides a robust, extensible data model with standardized semantics that all FHIR-compliant systems can use interchangeably. With FHIR, organizations can unify disparate electronic health record systems (EHRs) and other health data repositories – allowing for all data to be persisted and exchanged in a single, universal format. With the addition of SMART on FHIR, user-facing mobile and web-based applications can securely interact with FHIR data – opening a new range of possibilities for health data access. Most of all, FHIR simplifies the process of assembling large health datasets for research – providing a path for researchers and clinicians to unlock health insights through machine learning and analytics.

## Applications for the FHIR service
5656

5757
FHIR servers are essential for interoperability of health data. The FHIR service is designed as a managed FHIR server with a RESTful API for connecting to a broad range of client systems and applications. Some of the key use cases for the FHIR service are listed below:
5858

59-
- **Startup App Development:** Customers developing a patient- or provider-centric app (mobile or web) can leverage FHIR service as a fully managed backend for their health data transactions. The FHIR service enables secure transfer of PHI, and with SMART on FHIR, app developers can take advantage of the robust identities management in Azure AD for authorization of FHIR RESTful API actions.

- **Healthcare Ecosystems:** While EHRs exist as the primary ‘source of truth’ in many clinical settings, it isn't uncommon for providers to have multiple databases that aren’t connected to one another (often because the data is stored in different formats). Utilizing the FHIR service as a conversion layer between these systems allows organizations to standardize data in the FHIR format. Ingesting and persisting in FHIR enables health data querying and exchange across multiple disparate systems.
6262

63-
- **Research:** Health researchers have embraced the FHIR standard as it gives the community a shared data model and removes barriers to assembling large datasets for machine learning and analytics. With the FHIR service's data conversion and PHI de-identification capabilities, researchers can prepare HIPAA-compliant secondary-use data before sending it to Azure machine learning and analytics pipelines. The FHIR service's audit logging and alert mechanisms also play an important role in research workflows.

* The **FHIR service** is a managed platform as a service (PaaS) that operates as part of Azure Health Data Services. In addition to the FHIR service, Azure Health Data Services includes managed services for other types of health data, such as the DICOM service for medical imaging data and the MedTech service for medical IoT data. All services (FHIR service, DICOM service, and MedTech service) can be connected and administered within an Azure Health Data Services workspace.

For use cases that require customizing a FHIR server or that require access to the underlying services – such as access to the database without going through the FHIR API, developers should choose the open-source FHIR Server for Azure. For implementation of a turnkey, production-ready FHIR API with a provisioned database backend (i.e., data can only be accessed through the FHIR API - not the database directly), developers should choose the FHIR service.
