The FHIR at Scale taskforce (FAST) has identified regulatory and policy barriers that need to be addressed in order to scale FAST Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) as a ubiquitous capability that enables widescale clinical information exchange between providers, payers, and other stakeholders. These barriers include the HIPAA minimum necessary regulations, the naming of a standard in a way that limits innovation, the lack of a single patient identifier, and the cost of accessing data via FHIR Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
