The HL7 FHIR standard has been approved (on 2014-01-20) as a DSTU (a draft standard for trial use). This completes a 2,5 year effort to create an entirely new HL7 standard.
The 5th FHIR connectathon was held in San Antonio on January 18/19, 2014. This video provides some impressions from the connectathon, it contains statements by the attendees as well as presentations of those that implemented/tested their application during the connectathon.
In addition, two of the 3 'FHIR men' (Ewout Kramer and Lloyd McKenzie) were interviewed about the new DSTU status as well as the future development of the FHIR standard.
