# Connecting to FHIR

The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) connector enables efficient, secure exchange and management of healthcare data in compliance with the FHIR standard. It integrates with business intelligence tools for real-time data visualization and analysis, enhancing organizational efficiency and informed decision-making. Additionally, the connector supports various authentication methods, including basic authentication and OAuth tokens, ensuring secure access to FHIR servers.

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) connector seamlessly integrates with the skyData Platform (AIP), facilitating efficient and secure healthcare data exchange. By connecting with business intelligence tools, it enables real-time data visualization and analysis, empowering organizations with intelligent automation and predictive analytics. This streamlined workflow enhances efficiency, ensures compliance, and supports informed decision-making.

This document will guide you through the process of connecting FHIR to the skyData.

## Prerequisite

You need the following details to configure and import data using the <a href="https://fhir.humana.com/about/" target="_blank">FHIR⇗</a> connector:

* Display Name
* Provider Name

## To import data using the FHIR connector

## Next step

After completing the data import, start the [Master Data Management (MDM) - Resolve](https://docs.skypointcloud.com/docs/stitch.html) process to create a single, unified view of the data. With SkyPoint MDM, you can ensure that your data is accurate, consistent, and reliable, making it easier to use for business processes, analytics, and reporting.
