[Objective] This paper explores the core framework of message exchange standard——Health Level Seven (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), aiming to standardize medical data formats and disease terms in Chinese. [Methods] We proposed a healthcare data interoperability method based on the FHIR framework. Then, we combined the ontology standardization conceptual model and the Disease Ontology to regulate the expression of disease terms, with ontology construction, mapping and migration techniques. [Results] We retrieved 176 pieces electronic medical records from the YiXiang platform with a Python crawler. After ontology mapping and migration, we fully standardized the medical records and disease term coding using the expression of FHIR data format. [Limitations] We did not standardize the semantics of heterogeneous medical data of multiple types. [Conclusions] This study provides a new perspective for constructing standard medical records system and related technology in China.
