The objective of this study is to design a FHIR data pipeline and user interface (UI) that integrates user data from the My Health Record application, to implement a Korean version of the IPS. The My Health Record application provides access to a representative example of the Korean FHIR Core (KR) Core called “My Healthway”. MyHealthway specifically inherits the KR Core profiles and adds further constraints to ensure data consistency within the My Health Record application. This platform enables access to public institution and medical institution data, both of which are shareable in FHIR format. Patient-generated data from hospitals can be disseminated via the Health Information Highway, allowing individuals to manage their personal health records. Although the application supports the sharing of health data in FHIR file format, there remains a lack of mechanisms to extract and concisely summarize this information for effective clinical communication. Therefore, it is essential to develop a Korean adaptation of the IPS using FHIR-compatible data extracted from the My Health Record application.
