Can you help me design FHIR service interface between our EHR and client ? FHIR Server API isn’t helpful in realtime scanerio e-g how can I receive referral at EHR and send response back to client using FHIR?

@Muhammad khalid You might look at the http://build.fhir.org/workflow-ad-hoc.html and http://build.fhir.org/workflow-management.html patterns in the draft STU 3 spec. Those two pages describe a number of patterns for "requesting action" in FHIR and discuss some of the trade-offs around what you can accomplish with each approach.

thanks for your guidance. One more thing you if can help me.
if someone sending Appointment Request to OUR EHR in FHIR format, does he has to send reference resources used in appointment along with appointment ??
thanks

In general, no. It's perfectly legitimate to POST a resource where all the references point to things living on other servers. Alternatively, they could exist on your server already from prior submissions. If you want a way to receive a bunch of things at once, you'll need to look at transaction, operations, documents or messaging (different trade-offs and behaviors with different approaches)
