There are a lot of components to consider and talk about in regards to interoperability and data sharing. Today we are going to focus on the innovative technologies and standards that are currently being employed to make our dreams of a better system of interoperability and data sharing a reality. The following are their answers.

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.

The IHE IT-Infrastructure committee continues to produce new and improved specifications for HIE interoperability. The first is the ability to exchange a list of health data locations, which enables Record Locator Services to interoperate with consumers wishing to discover the location of patient records within a health information exchange.

Healthcare software vendors prioritize projects that use HL7 ® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR ® ) over those built on other standards for many reasons. Because FHIR resources have a defined structure, they can be accessed, manipulated, and exchanged in ways that other standards aren’t today. Let’s dive in.

How does one put a FHIR Document into XDS? How does one find a FHIR Document in XDS? XDS, more broadly the whole Document Sharing family, including XDS , XCA , XDR , XDM , and MHD. Initially Document Sharing was about 'historic' documents. Thus the Document is "Shared". Let me explain.
