Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), an international standard for exchanging digital health data, is increasingly used in health information technology. FHIR promises to facilitate the use of electronic health records (EHRs), enable mobile technologies and make health data accessible to large-scale analytics. Until now, there is no comprehensive review of scientific articles about FHIR and its use in digital health. Here, we aim to address this gap and provide an overview of the main topics associated with FHIR in the scientific literature. For this, we screened all articles about FHIR on Web of Science and PubMed and identified the main topics discussed in these articles. We also explored the temporal trend and geography of publications and performed some basic text mining on article abstracts. We found that the topics most commonly discussed in the articles were related to data models, mobile and web applications as well as medical devices. Since its introduction, the number of publications about FHIR have steadily increased until 2017, indicating an increasing popularity of FHIR in healthcare (in 2018, publication numbers remained stable). In sum, our study provides an overview of the scientific literature about FHIR and its current use in digital health.
快速医疗保健互操作性资源（FHIR）是一种用于交换数字健康数据的国际标准，在健康信息技术中越来越多地被使用。FHIR有望促进电子健康记录（EHR）的使用，推动移动技术发展，并使健康数据能够用于大规模分析。到目前为止，还没有对关于FHIR及其在数字健康领域应用的科学文章进行全面综述。在此，我们旨在填补这一空白，并概述科学文献中与FHIR相关的主要主题。为此，我们在科学网和PubMed上筛选了所有关于FHIR的文章，并确定了这些文章中讨论的主要主题。我们还探讨了出版物的时间趋势和地域分布，并对文章摘要进行了一些基本的文本挖掘。我们发现，文章中最常讨论的主题与数据模型、移动和网络应用以及医疗设备有关。自推出以来，关于FHIR的出版物数量在2017年之前稳步增加，这表明FHIR在医疗保健领域越来越受欢迎（2018年，出版物数量保持稳定）。总之，我们的研究提供了关于FHIR及其当前在数字健康领域应用的科学文献综述。
