Had an amazing experience at the FHIR Camp 2024 organized by Health Samurai | Aidbox FHIR® Platform. Inspired by its transformative potential, I look forward to working further in FHIR and hope to see its implementation in Nepal's healthcare system as well.
Though a bit delayed but still I don’t want to miss out on talking about the recently concluded #FHIRCamp2024 organized by Health Samurai | Aidbox FHIR® Platform in the beautiful city of Cascais, Portugal.

I skipped a lot of recent conferences to prioritize attending FHIR Camp 2024 in Portugal the week before last. It was well worth the trip! It was great to hear Grahame Grieve give the background story on how FHIR came to be an open source effort. The open source angle is really important and unique in that it will require a lot of meaningful collaboration and perhaps unprecedented transparency (things we're not great at in the US) to advance these standards in the coming years. There is and will be a lot of opportunity for people to develop and offer FHIR expertise.
It was a pleasure to come to the #FHIR #camp in Cascais as a Hospitals on FHIR ambassador It was a pleasure to exchange our outlook on FHIR #versionning and how to deal with the multiple versions with Grahame Grieve, Lloyd McKenzie, Gino Canessa, Ewout Kramer and Nikolai Ryzhikov I also had the occasion to present the state of FHIR in #France and the work our community is doing to increase adoption And of course, always a pleasure to exchange with friends of the HL7 community.
