Table 5 Summary of the health level 7 fast healthcare interoperability resource protocol criteria

	HL7 FHIR protocol development criteria
1	Establishing a platform that can connect the technologies between different IT systems
2	Ensure data security for HIPPA regulations while maintaining highest level of patient privacy
3	Adopt or establish protocols which standardize data for ease of interpretation by EHR
4	Application programming interfaces are needed to facilitate communication between CGM cloud-based repository and the hospital EHR
5	Ensure data accuracy with data mapping and integration
6	User interface adjustments-allows personnel to follow data trends and gain insights into patient care specifics
7	Training and support-ongoing education of healthcare providers on how to interpret and use blood glucose data

CGM: Continuous glucose monitors; EHR: Electronic health record; IT: Information technology; HIPPA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; HL7 FHIR: Health level 7 fast healthcare interoperability resources.
