Know Your Results
The Touchstone platform provides a litmus test for interoperability with real time conformance reporting. Know for sure that your HL7 FHIR systems are doing what you want them to do. Leverage thousands of existing test scripts in the Touchstone platform to customize your test suites. Have vendors simply run the test suites which meet your requirements and then send you a hyperlink to their results. You log in to Touchstone and access detailed graphical reports with drill down capability that let you know the systems you count on are conformant to the things you require.

Accelerate Development
Your developers do not have time to become HL7 FHIR experts, so equip them with thousands of HL7 FHIR test scripts and a fully automated platform that provides immediate feedback on how to fix their code. Teaching your team how to use HL7 FHIR through our test-driven development process is faster than extensive training programs. Hands on experience gives them confidences and provides assurance that your build will work when it is time to go live with other systems. Test driven development leads to improved design qualities in the code, and a higher degree of technical quality.

Ensure Interoperability
For years the healthcare industry has had to rely on point-to-point interfaces and peer to peer testing to support interoperability. The HL7 FHIR Specification has a validation component written right into the specification that enables automated validation of conformance and takes the guess work out of interoperability testing. Using this intra specification validation process with the Touchstone platform means you will have 100% confidence that your systems are truly interoperable with both internal and external stakeholders that are counting on you for good data.

Give your Compliance Officer a Break
The HL7 FHIR standard promises to deliver better, faster healthcare data sharing around the globe. Touchstone supports organizations like yours in meeting regulatory programs that require HL7 FHIR.

Healthcare is a complicated domain, and the HL7 FHIR standards and implementation guides (IGs) reflect this rich texture. Compared to earlier generations of healthcare specifications, FHIR is a vast improvement in approachability, and it is designed to promote incremental feature development.

Testing with Touchstone continues to help development teams shorten the FHIR implementation learning curve and help quality assurance teams move through testing to expedite systems achieving a production ready state. Navigating the validation results and FHIR complaint remediation can stretch development and quality assurance teams resources. Our Implementation Services team has been working with organizations implementing and testing FHIR systems with Touchstone and they are ready to help you.

Our active involvement in creating the FHIR specifications and our collaboration with FHIR Accelerators and with the hundreds of organizations using Touchstone has given our FHIR Implementation Services team the experience your organization can leverage to accelerate and validate your FHIR implementations.
