This profile shows how to build a Document Sharing Exchange using IHE profiled FHIR® standard, rather than the legacy IHE profiles that is dominated by XDS and HL7® v2. This profile will assemble profiles and define a Document Registry. The actor that is specific to this profile is a Document Registry. 3 - Section 4.0
Many smart, dedicated people have relentlessly pursued nationwide healthcare interoperability, and the arrival of TEFCA represents both a major milestone and a significant opportunity for the industry to pause and carefully consider our next steps based on past attempts and current endeavors. And time, money, and talent will all be wasted.
Rochester Regional Health is using a measured and practical approach to data interoperability. Starting Simple with Interoperability RRH began integrating external lab data into their Epic EMR to elevate interoperability. They started with lab data and this integration, on its own, is having a positive impact on patient care.
The IHE IT-Infrastructure committee continues to produce new and improved specifications for HIEinteroperability. Health IT Vendors should review this supplement and determine if the capabilities within meet their interoperability needs. Document Sharing Across Network Topologies- Rev.
I think the most useful value-add that an HIE can add is an API that is based on FHIR. This is true of an XDS based HIE, Regional Exchange (XCA), Vendor based EHR, nationwide Exchange, and Direct HISP. At an HIE level: Initially I would focus on enabling Apps to query for and read the data available in the HIE.
Nationwide Interoperability: It’s been a concept, a term bandied about for a while in various forms, but for those of us who have worked in health IT for more than a few years, we know that it has taken a long time for transformational change to be felt by the providers and the individuals they serve. billion documents to date.
There is much talk on the blogs about the USA government trepidation around Health Information Exchange interoperability. See below an interesting monthly report I get from the Wisconsin HIE. A very healthy and Quality producing HIE: 2.6 This is a Standards based HIE, based on IHE-XDS and XCA. Fully federated.
Mostly they keep trying because the most basic query is just asking for all documents available for a given Patient. These are useful, just not very primary for a general purpose Document Consumer. Where these classifications are useful to a Document Consumer. Thus one can ask for documents covering treatment prior to 1998.
Health Information Exchanges (HIE) seem to be emerging where integration between systems is not available. Rustom Lawyer, Augnito, India I think some of the new trends to expect would be: Voice-based and ambient AI : Beyond conventional speech recognition, ambient AI technologies will emerge to document clinical encounters automatically.
General’s emergency room, the hospital’s care team documented a number of indicators that appeared to be related to a neurological issue. This avoids the laborious process and delays associated with calling, faxing, and contacting providers and family members. Data sharing decisions impact the care that patients receive every day.
Thus the system needs to provision user accounts, while making sure that policy and procedures assure that the users are all legitimate users track all users actions so that there is traceability and accountability patient discovery mechanism document discovery of list of documents display of user selected document Putting it together using Interoperability (..)
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". FHIR has a Document model.
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.

It happens that the framework for explaining why the future is bright for HIE comes from the Wisconsin HIE (WISHIN) fall summit. They used the following diagram to show what they viewed as the HIE future. These historic events need to have the full context of them, which is what a Document model provides.
We talk a lot about sharing data and how it will improve patient outcomes and interoperability, but do we talk enough about how to do it safely? Healthcare is going to be rapidly advancing as patient data becomes more interoperable and effectively used across traditional organizational boundaries.
In the USA and elsewhere, there are Document Sharing based Health Information Exchanges. This model is used at the state level, and has three flavors at the national level, with interoperability between them. The International Patient Summary (IPS) is a FHIR Document that covers the same need as the C-CDA Medical Summary.
The Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) standards profiling organization has developed a collection of profiles which can be leveraged for use by healthcare communities for the purposes of document sharing. The clinicians will find that this paper recognizes their interests in being properly recognized as authors of documentation.
Leveraging our AI-enabled platform with NLP and MDPortals’ sophisticated interoperability allows us to deliver providers a pre-encounter clinical summary of patients within their EHR workflow at the point of care,” said Jay Ackerman, CEO and President at Reveleer.
High-quality, reliable data is crucial to getting most things done in healthcare, especially for healthcare interoperability. We’ve made some great strides in improving interoperability, in no small part due to the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).
Montana HIE Big Sky Care Connect chose Lyniate ‘s Rhapsody Interoperability Suite for data classification and cleansing. Hawai’i HIE chose 4medica to assist with data quality improvement. AI-powered medical documentation tool Abridge appointed Zachary Lipton as Chief Scientific Officer.
Partnerships eHealth Exchange added C3HIE , a Texas-based HIE, to its network of partners under its anticipated QHIN. Health Plan Alliance selected 1upHealth as its preferred health data interoperability vendor. MedArrive and Heartbeat Health are collaborating to provide on-demand cardiovascular services to Medicaid beneficiaries.
EHRs were designed as documentation centers for billing and regulatory purposes. Increasing healthcare consolidation of hospitals has exacerbated the problem of lack of interoperability. There remain many opportunities for technologies to assist in achieving true interoperability. From a provider standpoint. Clinical trials.
Is this just another HIE? Consequences for non-participation are currently unclear, although providers may be cited for non-compliance with federal information blocking regulations which, according to the recent HHS proposed rule could be up to $1 million per violation. Required data format requirements are also notable.
The Sequoia Project expects to begin the QHIN application process on Monday, October 3 and has released several documents to walk potential Qualified Heath Information Networks through the application and onboarding process. ONC referred to this document release as “moving into the operational phase” of implementing TEFCA.
We have developed a FHIR/IHE server and we store CDA and FHIR documents in the same IHE infrastructure using IHE metadata capabilities. Our IExHub will expose FHIR services to the application while an HIE using standard-based SOAP services (IHE ITI) and/or HL7 Version 2 transactions. privacy consent). privacy consent). Well done!
Most important, this is not an interoperability problem Nationwide Patient Identity Management, especially in a federation like the USA, is a balance between quality, privacy, and safety. Architectures IHE includes two distinct architectures at the interoperability level. Here are the IHE relevant works on the topic of Patient.

They include streamlining prior authorization and accommodating multiple data formats in support of interoperability today. Health Commons Project acquired OneHealthPort , the HIE entity for Washington state.
The Mobile Health Documents (MHD) profile was born to provide a more simple API to an XDS environment. The Mobile Health Documents (MHD) is the result. Find Document Manifests – This transaction is used to provide parameterized queries that result in a list of Document Manifest resources.
There is renewed discussion, much like back in January, around the need to go beyond testing just the FHIR Resource 'interoperability'. Testing Interoperability is not easy, and there are struggles with getting this first level testing done right. This does prove that there is connectivity, but not Interoperability.
Additionally, secure electronic documentation tools will be used to store key data, such as around a patient’s visits and medical history, and create clear treatment plans and monitor progress. The virtual nurses can assist with non-hands-on care, education, documentation, admission, discharge, answering questions, and reviewing care plans.
The closest we have come to this ideal in healthcare is in health information exchanges (HIE), and even those have failed to gain traction due to a variety of issues. It is all about the data, and who owns it Healthcare IT has been bedeviled by interoperability challenges, as everyone knows.
You see the person at home, with their hair down (so to speak), and can capitalize on needs right in front of you that have yet to be articulated or documented in the chart.
I’ve cut/pasted selected sentences from the DOH document to make it easy to follow here – but (of course) the full document has more detail/explanation. Exhibit 2: SDHN Structural and Funding Diagram. Social Care Data Interoperability Exchange.
We asked our talented Healthcare IT Today Community – in the context of interoperability, what challenges and barriers exist in achieving standardized and secure data exchange across different healthcare systems, and how can these obstacles be addressed? Data-sharing and interoperability are key. The following are their answers.
As interoperability continues to take hold, health information management leaders help ensure that the information shared through data exchanges and networks is aligned to Master Patient Index (MPI) technologies, which are critical to streamlining and automating patient matching to a very high degree of certainty.
A set of document types that are considered acceptable by the Affinity Domain. Note: Document Sources, Repositories and Consumers may belong to more than one XDS Affinity Domain and share the same or different documents. The document formats that will be accepted for registration 2. See section 10.4.8 See section 10.4.8
