First, consider: the lack of interoperability between health data, resulting in silos, has plagued our ability to “operate” (that “O” in “OS”) in a smooth fashion across the care continuum, from clinical trials and research to patients’ self-care driving optimal outcomes. Now, let’s ponder one particular patient whose name is Eric Topol, MD.
A Process in Urgent Need of an Upgrade Clearly, prior authorization is crying out for standardization and interoperability. The federal government has been haranguing vendors and clinicians to make interoperable systems since the HITECH act was passed in 2009. The release of FHIR in the mid-2010 decade changed everything.
Following the announcement of implementation of the Carequality-CommonWell interoperability collaboration, I was fortunate enough to catch up with Micky Tripathi ( @mickytripathi1 ) to discuss this development and put it in context. Micky is bullish on interoperability, both over the near term (the next 12-18 months) and the long term.

A few of my favorite comments were: “Jim Cramer needs a crash course in FHIR standards” from the wonkier section of peanut gallery. I found this tweet of mine from 2009 about Apple and Epic’s collaboration for a mobile EHR. They are not even in the same universe” among people dissing the idea in short-hand.
. $10B contract w/Cerner = HUGE opportunity, 1ce in a lifetime, to rally around and use it to make something BE interoperable, and show the way to the rest of the healthcare landscape on how to do it. Argonaut, HL7, FHIR are toolkit. VA is largest health system in the country. Reads the pledge. Now we need to formulate a charter.
One of the key goals of health care reform, going back to HIPAA in 1996 and particularly the HITECH act of 2009, is to allow the free flow of patient data in a secure and privacy-preserving way. The government has placed heavy expectations for data interoperability on a sagging technical foundation. Progress has been slow.
In essence, blockchain could help reshape healthcare interoperability by serving as a next-generation middleware that couples health data with decentralized, distributed, and immutable qualities, according to a new report by IDC Health Insights. To date, however, the VA has yet to test blockchain related to its massive healthcare system.
As proof, FHIR Documents will re-open this discussion. Especially with the CDA-on-FHIR efforts. Keith covered this in a different way back in 2009. focused more on template inheritance -- Template Identifiers, Business Rules and Degrees of Interoperability -- with a cool graphic are laying around. are laying around.
Paths to Interoperability A recent article exposes the woeful silo-ing of public health: Data often has to be faxed and re-entered into new systems manually. For data reporting, Diameter Health improved lab data to adhere to standard and interoperable formats. This article summarizes their responses.
Former National Coordinator David Brailer, MD, PhD urges support for HHS’s proposed interoperability rules, saying that the federal incentive program should have made sure that EHRs could share information and defined medical information as belonging to the patient.
