RPA is a great example of health technology in the unvendor environment. This is a great example of the power of un-vendoring, Harm asserts. RPA is but one of many examples Harm pointed to: one of the areas that strongly resonated with me was population health, which is not easily managed through the single-vendor EHR.
In a recent interview with Healthcare IT Today , Aidan Lee, Director of the Certification Program at OntarioMD , and Matt LaDuke, Director of Products, Integrations, and Service Management, shed light on the evolving landscape of electronic medical records (EMRs) and the state of interoperability in the healthcare sector.
While they have gotten a lot of attention for being the TEFCA RCE, The Sequoia Project has almost a dozen healthcare interoperability projects they are working on. For example, privacy and consent have been hot topics in the world of healthcare interoperability with new regulations popping-up across the country.
For example, getting new ambient AI technology deployed and integrated with the EHR or equipping clinician-researchers with the latest clinical trial data from the EHR. Additionally, prioritizing mobile accessibility and interoperability ensures that clinicians can access and update patient records seamlessly across devices and platforms.
An EHR system needs to make a 360-degree view of patient data accessible in a secure manner that can be made available using standard interfaces like FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) APIs for structured data exchange and DICOM for imaging.
These parts are 1) establishing a clearinghouse for bill submission, 2) simplifying prior authorizations, 3) harmonizing quality reporting, and 4) enhancing data interoperability in the health-care system. For example, chronic conditions would only need to be authorized every year instead of every month, lowering the administrative cost.
Patient education is just one example of many where pharmacists could take a more active role in the healthcare system and we could all benefit from pharmacists’ expertise. Another area where we haven’t enabled pharmacists has to do with pharmacy interoperability.
In order to truly improve healthcare, we need to have seamless interoperability and data sharing between different healthcare providers. Improving interoperability and seamless data sharing is vital as we work towards a better future and there are plenty of different methods to do this. The following are their answers.
The AI models of tomorrow will be fueled by a complete picture of each individual patient this is powered by a responsible infrastructure with an output of safe, and secure interoperable data. We have all seen examples of hallucinations in the GenAI use cases.
As the next phase in the evolution of interoperability, SDC allows for the secure and near real-time sharing of health data between devices at the point of care, regardless of the manufacturer. Traditionally, we think about interoperability as HIEs (health information exchanges), but in 2024 I expect to see new models emerge.
But despite the availability of FHIR and of APIs from many vendors, interoperability is often described as “difficult and “not frictionless” according to Loyd Bittle, CEO and Founder at Innovar Healthcare. It takes a real expert with the right connections to make interoperability a reality for healthcare organizations.
Insurers both large and small , for example, are partnering or even acquiring organizations that specialize in VBP; the same goes for physicians groups and groups that provide home care. With proper privacy and security policies and protocols, EHR interoperability will help expand the implementation of VBP in several ways.
Healthcare Analytics and Interoperability. And now, check out our community’s healthcare analytics and interoperability predictions. Epic) to real-time patient journey optimization systems that are EMR-agnostic and fueled by far more comprehensive data than what sits in EMRs today. Healthcare Workforce.
For HHM Health , an FQHC serving the Dallas area, interoperability and access to medical records is vital for establishing trust with their patients and saving lives. Brown illustrated the importance of Prisma to their community with the following example: We had a brand new patient come in. Interoperability saves lives.
Improved Patient Experience Through Interoperability Over the years, Dr. Davis has come to realize that when patient data is made more portable and sharable, patient experience improves.
For example, GitHub Copilot is helping Greenway developers quickly refactor legacy code. Interoperability In addition to his Greenway duties, Cohen also serves on the board of Commonwell Health Alliance. He has a unique perspective on what is and isn’t working when it comes to interoperability across the US healthcare ecosystem.
As a healthcare innovator, Intermountain has worked diligently to put in place both patient-facing and back-end integrations needed for successful enterprise-wide telehealth interoperability. For example, we leverage a lot of FHIR APIs to pull information from Cerner and communicate that with DFD.
For example, how are they addressing interoperability of health data across the provinces in Canada. While many in the Healthcare IT Today community likely know Altera, Sunrise, and dbMotion from their work in the US, it’s great to learn the work they’re doing to address the health IT issues in Canada.
Yesterday, we shared a number of the insights into the health data and interoperability needs in healthcare. A HIMSS statistic cited the average healthcare system as having 18 EMRs. For example, extensive pre-work to uplift network infrastructure is often a prerequisite for vital EHR enhancements. Matt Donahue, CTO at CloudWave.
As electronic health record (EHR) systems become nearly universal and interoperability initiatives gain momentum, many healthcare providers assume their revenue cycle challenges are solved. Workers’ compensation claims, for example, demand specific expertise to avoid authorization errors, missed filing deadlines, and inaccurate coding.
Drawing from this experience on both sides of the equation, I believe the next generation of EHRs can better meet the needs of all involved with better usability, interoperability, and flexibility. Enhancing Interoperability In addition to greater usability, EHRs need better data-sharing capabilities to bring real value to the clinical space.
However, we can still aim for standardized protocols and interoperability. However, the old HIS and EMR systems or even the new breed Digital Health Apps lack credible Global Digital Health Standards. This should be the common lookup so that everyone can be interoperable. The data cannot be referred for any meaningful analysis.
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. The solution to these challenges lies in the adoption of interoperable data systems.
For example, medical and billing information contained in the designated record set are included, as is any EHI held by EHR software or by a health information network. The expanded definition of EHI now includes virtually any health information tied to an individual that is used in decision making. Accessing Best Practices From your Peers.
Storage of Information in Various Systems While serving diverse medical institution needs, Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) parallel existence complicates information access and exchange between doctors, patients, and different medical centers.
The organizations created a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources ( FHIR ) -based implementation leveraging the existing eHealth Exchange infrastructure as the central network to send and receive FHIR messages about adverse events.
For example, r esearch studies and data show that people at high risk for education and transportation have much higher poverty levels. Therefore, having a sound interoperability strategy in place coupled with an SDOH strategy is critical.
Director at NTT DATA On February 8, 2024, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) published the Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability (HTI-1) Final Rule in the Federal Register, which took effect on March 11, 2024. The following is a guest article by Nitin Kunte, Sr.
For many health systems, customized interfaces are expensive and labor-intensive In 2017, the American Hospital Association released data on the importance of interoperability in healthcare and how connected, shared health information can help achieve the best possible outcomes. Additionally, what is the usability like?
The biggest example of the evolution in their cloud approach is highlighted in their embrace of the public cloud. They also showed a number of interesting interoperability options they’d integrated into the eCW software. Amazing that @eClinicalWorks embraced cloud 23 years ago. A shift from remote desktop to ASP to public cloud.

1 “Examples of services include medication replacement, medication augmentation, robust interactive communications platforms, and increased opportunities to use technology to increase patient engagement.”. Designing a Successful DTx Program. Driving medication adherence will be key to the successful implementation of digital therapeutics.
For example, I attended a session on Medication Success that was presented by Franck Tricot, VP, Strategic Partnerships at Synapse Medicine. Lots of other challenges like lack of interoperability too. One of the great things about the HLTH 2022 conference is you get a wide range of topics across every part of healthcare. SynapseMed.
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.
Moreover, patients expect providers’ platforms and electronic medical records (EMR) to seamlessly accommodate their hyper-personalized data whenever they choose to share it. For example, a provider may have their cloud-based EMR and accounting software serviced by two separate vendors.
For federal agencies and state and regional exchanges, this is an excellent time to demonstrate leadership in interoperability by joining a network that will likely provide a ready on-ramp to TEFCA. State and regional HIEs are critical to our nation’s goal of comprehensive interoperability.
It is focused on solving the business workflow aspect of healthcare and creating interoperability between systems and ease of communication without the need for code. It’s unusual for someone with no healthcare or IT background to be diving deep into the technical aspects of interoperability. How did that come about?
Consumers will want automated, actionable health insights that come from smart artificial intelligence (AI) applied to interoperable data that is seamless and integrated across all platforms and applications. Many consumers will shop for modular and personalized health coverage and will receive care (mostly) where they are.
If you come from an educational hospital or a medical center that’s inside of the perimeter here in Atlanta, for example, it’s a little bit different on how they deal with their independent providers. You have one view of the world through your EMR, whether it’s Epic or Cerner or any type of hospital-based system.
The following is a guest article by Jim Cropper, Director of Sales at Brother International Healthcare technology development and modern security needs are continually evolving, calling for a shift toward digitization and interoperability to facilitate easier access to information, and more efficient and effective healthcare delivery.
In a session talking about their approach to interoperability and data, I loved this slide which outlined many of the “intelligent infrastructure” they had in place to better serve MEDITECH customers’ data needs. Part of their interoperability session was talking about MEDITECH Traverse which they announced last month.
What is the interoperability technology marketplace position of the newly announced HealthSource? Health insurance examples would be prior authorization, medical management, risk adjustment, and quality. Health insurance examples would be prior authorization, medical management, risk adjustment, and quality.
Great to see them sharing Alzheimer’s data that life sciences doesn’t have for example. I expect this will yield some good results for patients. Smart move for @PointClickCare sharing real-world data with life sciences. connectatsummit. John Lynn (@techguy) November 2, 2022.
He gave the example of going to the ER and the ER doctor having access to your full records. The other thing that I found intriguing was Ellison’s comments about who would benefit from this single database of all our health records. First was patients.
