The following is a guest article by Khalid Al-Maskari, Founder and CEO of Health Information 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.
We’ve only seen a few times where something has dramatically changed the EHR product roadmap. The first time this happened was when the HITECH act and associated $36 billion of stimulus money was included to stimulate adoption of EHR software. In order to get access to that stimulus money, you had to use a certified EHR.
While the EHR Association has long supported the goals of the proposed rule, called Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Certification Program Updates, Algorithm Transparency, and Information Sharing Proposed Rule (HTI-1), we have a number of real concerns about the impact it would have on the industry if finalized as proposed.
Electronic health records (EHRs) and personal fitness trackers have helped create awareness through use. According to most recent statistics from the Office of the National Coordinator, use of EHRs has increased from 20% in 2004 to 87% in 2015. We need EHRs which are clinically oriented with good user interfaces.
For many, the delay of Stage 3 of the MeaningfulUse program evoked a collective sigh of relief, providing a much-needed extra year to focus on the challenging requirements for patient engagement and interoperability. Each of these use cases brings with it a unique set of programmatic and technical components.
We believe TEFCA will lead to additional exchange partners and eventually will support additional use cases beyond queries for treatment and individual access. Fragmented systems are a major hurdle, as diverse EHR systems often lack compatibility, making seamless data sharing difficult.

As an aside, I definitely enjoyed Pfizer’s bump from 90% to 95% efficacy after Moderna’s announcement …yay for capitalism? Functionally, this type of tool is called an immunization registry , and, luckily for us, it has existed for decades. I don’t think we need to spill any more ink on that topic, but I, for one, am pumped.
I am however happy to use IHE-ATNA as the marketing tag. This defines the purpose of a security Audit Log, the uses of this audit log information, including how it is used to provide patients with accounting of disclosures. Query Service HL7 PASS has produced a Service definition -- for what a Query might look like.

By focusing on medical definitions of success (generally expressed as HEDIS measures), the program medicalized social problems and failed to explicitly recognize the significant role that social determinants play in the health of our communities. Did this happen everywhere? This was a minority of PPS. But it happened. I’ll be optimistic.
We are passionate and dedicated to working with healthcare partners, RCM leaders and clinicians to put our extensive pool of primary-sourced data to meaningfuluse. It’s definitely got complex in this world. And now look at us. You’re seeing more and more of this specifically within the EHR side.
