Enhancing Patient Care: Achieving Interoperability between General Practitioners’ and Stomatologists’ Information Systems Using FHIR Standard and Firebase Cloud

Interoperability in the medical field is very important because it allows different healthcare providers, systems, and devices to exchange, interpret, and use patient health information efficiently and accurately. Interoperability between stomatology and general practitioners (GPs) information systems is still a work in progress but there are a lot of researchers that work to develop applications in this domain. This paper describes the implementation of interoperability between a GP's information system and a stomatology medical system, achieved using the Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard. Communication between the two systems was done using Google Firebase services. Using this type of system can significantly decrease medical errors, avoiding administration of substances to which the patient is allergic, during dental procedures. Additionally, it can help GPs prevent exacerbating or triggering other health issues when patients have certain dental problems.
