# FHIR & Standards

### Platform Interoperability

The SPICE platform supports the [HL7 FHIR](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/overview.html) standard through the SPICE FHIR Service. This service functions as an adaptor, converting the SPICE data into the FHIR format. 

* GitHub Repository: [FHIR Adaptor](https://github.com/Medtronic-LABS/spice-fhir-adapter)

The adapter converts SPICE data into the FHIR format using the custom FHIR Adapter. 

### **Key Functionality:**

* Converted data saved in FHIR database using HAPI-FHIR JPA server.
* HAPI-FHIR JPA server acts as a FHIR server which is coupled with FHIR Database.
* FHIR data is accessible via REST API and FHIR database.
