The following is a guest article by Khalid Al-Maskari, Founder and CEO of HealthInformation Management Systems (HiMS) EHRs are ubiquitous because they’re useful – but how useful are they really, and to whom? The truth is that an EHR by definition serves multiple masters, satisfying some more than others.
Most of the data that we are looking to share is highly sensitive healthinformation, the kind of information that cybercriminals love to hold for ransom. A clear definition of what is considered sensitive information subject to such rules and directives has not yet been established.
The latest read from ONC, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, tells a story about patients’ growing use of online portals, medical records, and smartphone apps to access personal healthinformation. Interestingly, 70% of patients also viewed their clinical notes in 2022, newly-measured by the ONC survey.
On October 6, 2022, the healthcare and health IT community woke to a new reality – one in which electronic healthinformation (EHI) included far more than it did the day before. .

This data segmentation hampers the holistic understanding of patient health and impedes timely and coordinated care delivery. The siloed nature of such data repositories can be attributed to various factors, including using different EHR systems, varying data capture standards, and a historical lack of emphasis on system interoperability.
Traditionally, we think about interoperability as HIEs (healthinformation exchanges), but in 2024 I expect to see new models emerge. Within healthcare, the technology and expertise exist to help providers, payers, public health, healthinformation exchanges, and healthcare IT companies exchange data.
Etienne Boshoff, Managing Director at EHR Enhancify Healthcare interoperability is advancing through the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), standardized APIs like FHIR, and emerging technologies such as blockchain. Unfortunately, there are challenges in achieving standardized and secure data exchange.
Tomorrow we’ll share some of the responses to the more classic definition of IT infrastructure.

CIOs are at the forefront, leading transitions to new EHR vendors while managing constrained budgets.
