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.
There is also the continued push toward interoperability and the use of AI and machine learning. FHIR and APIs. New proposed standards for interoperability and new FHIR standards for letting systems share health information, as well as facilitating patient access through open APIs, recently made waves through the healthcare landscape.
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.
As we enter the 8th week of 2018, I wanted to share my thoughts on what I see as the cutting edge, emerging, developing and mature technologies from around the digital health world visualised in a "Digital Health Hype Cycle 2018" infographic.

One annual survey found that 53% of physicians say they are burnt out, and in 2018, that figure was 42%. Here’s how.
Particle is breaking the mold when it comes to healthcare data standards like FHIR by further processing data that allows clinicians and developers to spend less time developing data pipelines or workflows and more time leveraging data to improve patient outcomes.
I’m very honoured to make a guest today from Mike Morris, who I met at the HL7 FHIR Applications Round Table in Washington DC a couple of weeks ago. Mike is a cancer patient who is using FHIR improve his own treatment. My white blood cell count was so low in January 2018, I had to go to the ER, chemo destroyed my blood counts.
I had a short but very satisfying interaction with a developer at HIMSS 2018. They had implemented a pilot project using FHIR. Their use-case was to instrument the DoD systems with a FHIR Server API, and similarly instrument a VA Vista system with a FHIR Client. What he actually did was stand up a new instance of Vista.
In fact, survey results published in early 2018 concluded that 80% of the organizations they surveyed had begun to track and use SDOH data. For the last few years, a growing number of healthcare organizations have been integrating information on social determinants of health into their population health management efforts.
In the first two posts, I covered how Redox is overcoming current limitations with bulk FHIR and translating data between HL7 ® v2 and HL7 ® FHIR ®. We have been a Carequality implementer since 2018 and more than 6,000 organizations are connected to Carequality via Redox Access. Let’s dive in. What is Carequality?
The platform then standardizes the data to FHIR R4 to ensure that they are usable at scale. Particle is leading the industry in applying the next-generation FHIR data format to make interoperability easier. Just as Plaid enabled the fintech industry, Particle is doing the same for healthcare.”. About Particle Health.
FHIR defines a Questionnaire resource that specifies a set of questions for a user, along with a QuestionnaireResponse resource to capture their response. A few of us have been working on proposals for how these problems could be solved in an interoperable way. Prepopulating a questionnaire. This extension defines a ‘variable’.
This fall Brenda entered her story in a competition for the “DevDays” (Developer Days) for the HL7 FHIR community. She was chosen as one of the four finalists who won a stipend to help them attend the Patient Innovator Track at the event, in Amsterdam, which was held last week. ” More on FHIR and DevDays.
The good news is that FHIR has a Document model, and the FHIR Document model has a directly convertible data model A FHIR Document travels an HIE easily CDA will fade, but never disappear. This first step is critical to Interoperability. This first step is critical to Interoperability.
A few of my favorite comments were: “Jim Cramer needs a crash course in FHIR standards” from the wonkier section of peanut gallery. Can we even imagine the bedfellows, strange or not, that will be collaborating for health-tech interoperability and consumer-facing care twelve months from now? That was tweeted ten years ago.
Founded in 2018, Myndshft is the only unified platform that streamlines prior authorization and related services for both medical and pharmacy benefits. The platform provides HL7 FHIR standard API connectivity, the interoperability standard preferred by the U.S.
These perspectives reinforce each other as she works to improve the regulatory landscape shaping security and interoperability in her role at CHIME overseeing congressional engagement efforts focused on effective use of health IT. Some CHIME members are leveraging FHIR today, but not all are doing it as robustly as possible.

Since the data is integrated with the EHR using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) protocols, the provider also receives the data in a way that is usable and actionable. This contributes to furthering healthcare initiatives for predictive analytics that depend on data accuracy.

So I now end up reviewing and commenting on very targeted sections.
Since 2011, the number of digital health deals has risen steadily, from $1.2bn spent within 92 deals, to $3.4bn over 193 deals in 2018. Healthcare has witnessed a number of vertical integrations in H1, such as CVS & Aetna, Optum’s acquisition of the DaVita Medical Group, Humana and Kindred Healthcare, Cigna and Express Scripts and others.

IHE FormatCodes are mandatory In Wisconsin we have Interoperability What is MHD beyond XDS-on-FHIR? This local processing might be automated algorithm, or might involve a human. Likely both.
While the underlying FHIR (aka, fast healthcare interoperability resource) deployed by DeepMind for Streams uses an open API, the contract between the company and the Royal Free Trust funnels connections via DeepMind’s own servers, and prohibits connections to other FHIR servers.
