Four years ago, we reached a milestone when leaders from three federal entities announced landmark healthcare technology regulations centered around a clinical data-sharing standard called Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource, or FHIR (pronounced “fire”). Rate limiting is not inherent to the FHIR standards.
Clinical Decision Support Electronic Health Records (EHR, EMR) Telehealth Workflow CIOs need to look beyond just EHRs and explore standalone platforms to enhance care delivery – keeping focused on reliable patient data and streamlined clinical workflows. Adopting FHIR standards for integrating data with a physician's daily workflow.
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. Patients, regulators, and payers are insisting on data exchange in health care.
Let’s discuss how to tackle them and explore the IT solutions essential for modern healthcare institutions. Unlike EMRs, requests for access to EHR records can be made by other medical centers. Healthtech providers can adopt HL7 (Health Level Seven) or FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources).
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 providers will be facing IT pressures: how to enable more people to make use of more sensitive data in a secure and compliant way, while also being economically efficient.
It takes time to write a programming library that can extract each field from an EHR and present it to an outside program, even given the modern FHIR standard (itself complex and evolving). These observers point out that patient data is extraordinarily large and complex. The API gap is, Bari says, “when regulation meets reality.”

I had no actual skills since I’m not a physician and I can’t code, so when I showed my partners how to move a PowerPoint slide backwards and forwards, they told me I should be CEO. How widely are APIs being used in healthcare? Then we will handle the nuances of getting the data out and putting the data back into the EMR.
In 2023, ModMed we will be focusing on the following deliverables for our customers: Interoperability/FHIR and better communication between systems and healthcare participants. In 2023, the market is likely going to experience a shift in focus on how to aggregate and analyze this increasing amount of data effectively.
Bryan Wang: We focused on how to integrate the consumer telehealth experience for Amwell into our unified DFD patient front-end experience. For example, we leverage a lot of FHIR APIs to pull information from Cerner and communicate that with DFD. Then between DFD and Amwell, we leverage Amwell’s patient identity API.
But how to break into health, in a manner that would give Telstra a strategic market position? All the acquisitions were a string of pearls and MD was to be the string that tied them all together …hospital EMR products, aged care management products, pharmacy script dispensing products and so on. How sustainable is all this?
A group of health and technology organizations develops open source cancer data standards and specifications that can be incorporated into EHRs via FHIR. EMR vendor ). In the end, he sought comfort from people who loved him, concluding that “only when we learn how to die do we learn how to live.”.
That said, healthcare stands at a critical inflection point about how to best care for caregivers and leverage new tools so that they can continue the extraordinary work of caring for others. For example, the CMS-0057-P proposed rule requires the use of FHIR APIs and essentially builds upon previous regulations.
The new mandates will standardize ePA using APIs based on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard and require EHRs to support prescription ePA and use the new National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) SCRIPT standard as part of their certification criteria.
