Published Date: Sep 3, 2025

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The transition from proprietary, paper-based care transition records (CTRs) to standardized digital formats like HL7 FHIR remains a significant challenge for healthcare institutions. Variability in document layouts, coupled with slow adoption of new interoperability standards, complicates efforts to digitize patient records while preserving data integrity and privacy.
