Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced "Fire") is a modern international standard for exchanging electronic health data, developed by HL7. It uses web technologies such as JSON/XML and REST APIs to make health information accessible as modular "resources" (e.g. patient, diagnosis) and to enable interoperability between different IT systems. In doing so, PPS follows the EMA's specifications in order to ensure compatibility.

A package leaflet stored in FHIR format makes it possible to read out, process and display metadata or chapters in a targeted way. This enables, for example, a targeted check for interactions.

Yes. You can enter your package leaflets into the EPL system via the editor, where they are stored in FHIR format. Alternatively, there are also commercial providers that offer conversion of package leaflets into FHIR format and are already connected to our system.
