The following is a guest article by Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange An FDA project aims to make it as easy as possible for clinicians to report adverse drug events and share important clinical data with public health agencies to investigate the event.
Microsoft is previewing its new Azure IoT Connector for FHIR, an API feature that enables healthcare organizations to scale secure connectivity for an array of devices streaming protected health information. WHY IT MATTERS. "Developers have to build their own secure pipelines from scratch. THE LARGER TREND. ON THE RECORD.
FHIR DevDays Amsterdam/Europe edition is coming up soon: November 17-20. I didn’t just write this blog post to flog the DevDays event, much as I love it. And, of course, it’s in the european timezone, though there’s also a session specially scheduled for a friendly time in Asia/Pac.
They also have mature testing tools, events, and have been specialized for many projects. The solution is to leverage this existing solution, and just add FHIR. This model is used at the state level, and has three flavors at the national level, with interoperability between them. Just add FHIRFHIR is a content format.
How waiting times in hospital emergency departments can be shortened to lower the risks of adverse events and quality problems that can be averted by seeing patients sooner. We also saw the use of blockchain, AI and cognitive computing, smartphones, neural networks, among other tools in the digital health toolkit.
There is also the continued push toward interoperability and the use of AI and machine learning. FHIR and APIs. New proposed standards for interoperability and new FHIR standards for letting systems share health information, as well as facilitating patient access through open APIs, recently made waves through the healthcare landscape.
Interoperability for better outcomes and clinical advances. The goal of Azure Health Data Services is interoperability that drives better patient outcomes and clinical advances. The key to unlocking the data is interoperability across the entire health ecosystem. Email the writer: bsiwicki@himss.org. HIMSS22 Coverage.
Up first: Using bulk FHIR. What is bulk FHIR? Like many aspects of HL7 ® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR ® ), there has been a lot of hype about the potential of using bulk FHIR to get large amounts of data out of EHRs. That’s where bulk FHIR comes in.
On a forum for FHIR Foundation members, I raised the subject of where FHIR is on the Gartner Hype Cycle (see Gartner write up , or Wikipedia ). FHIR Foundation member Wes Rishel ( @wrishel ), who’s a FHIR user, and also was a Gartner Analyst before he retired, graciously made this contribution that I could post here.
In the first post, I covered how Redox is overcoming current limitations with bulk FHIR. This time, I’ll be discussing our capabilities to translate between HL7 ® v2 and HL7 ® FHIR ® —a reoccurring challenge for many of our customers. However, modern technology shops want everything in FHIR. Let’s dive in. What does HL7 v2 do?
If it seems like we’ve been talking about interoperability forever, […]. I always find it interesting to learn what people think is coming down the road. Be sure to check out all our Health IT Predictions.
Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) has been busy creating Profiles that leverage the new and exciting FHIR specification. IHE publishes their profiles on [link] IHE subset of Profile on FHIR can be found on the IHE wiki FHIR list An IHE Profile is equivalent to a FHIR Implementation Guide.
Where a more specific audit event is defined, it should be derived off of these basic patterns. This Implementation Guide is intended to be fully compliant with the HL7 FHIR specification, providing only use-case driven constraints to aid with interoperability, deterministic results, and compatibility with ATNA and other IHE Profiles.
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. I feel it throughout the industry now.
2023 HL7 ® FHIR ® DevDays in Amsterdam stood out in a few ways, and in case you weren’t able to make it to the event, here’s your chance to digest the newly uploaded session recordings. These sessions highlighted two crucial truths about FHIR capabilities and adoption. In the meantime, check out our latest FHIR content below.
While the advent of modern interoperable approaches is gaining attention by reducing data entry burden – such as through pre-population of eCRFs using electronic health record data – the available data is still limited to a participating site’s point-in-time interactions with a given patient.
Last week we held our first New Zealand ‘ Clinicians on FHIR ‘ seminar at the HINZ conference in Rotorua. We had around 30 attendees and excellent participation – especially as the event was a combination of presentations and practical exercises. We used ‘Adverse Reactions’ reporting at last weeks event.
Grahame, being the fantastic Product Manager for FHIR that he is, is asking the FHIR community for input on how FHIR Connectathon should evolve. They were almost exactly the same kind of events. I have also written about how nice it is to see FHIR Connectathon changing. yeah, I know.
Create a competitive advantage in the future of healthcare What is a FHIR data store? A FHIR data store is a clinical data repository (CDR) that aggregates and stores healthcare data (demographics, results, images, admissions, transfers, diagnosis, etc.) FHIR is easily shared across systems. FHIR is human-readable.
Where a more specific audit event is defined, it should be derived off of these basic patterns. This implementation guide is intended to be fully compliant with the HL7 FHIR specification, providing only use-case driven constraints to aid with interoperability, deterministic results, and compatibility with ATNA and other IHE Profiles.
Last week was the biggest event/spectacle in health IT, the “World’s Fair of Healthcare”, also known as HIMSS. I am a HIMSS newbie, so the size and scope seemed huge, even overwhelming at times, but veterans noted a noticeable temperance to this year’s event. Sessions like “ Interoperability. What’s Taking So Long?”
They will additionally source solutions from, and contribute to, relevant open-source projects and participate in community events such as Health Level Seven (HL7) Connectathons. Code, test and maintain electronic clinical quality measures using Clinical Quality Language (CQL) and Fast Healthcare Interoperable Resources (FHIR).
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.
The event will bring health care industry leaders together to share ideas and best practices around improving health information exchange and interoperability. DirectTrust is pleased to announce the inaugural DirectTrust Summit to be held at the Marriott Suites Midtown in Atlanta, GA, June 10-11.
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? Department of Health and Human Services to be much more active in the enforcement of healthcare privacy following recent, and increasing, events like the data breach with Change Healthcare.
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. MHDS shows how several IHE profiles work together to provide a standards-based, interoperable approach to community health information sharing. 3 - Section 4.0
I’m very honoured to make a guest today from Mike Morris, who I met at the HL7 FHIR Applications Round Table in Washington DC a couple of weeks ago. Mike is a cancer patient who is using FHIR improve his own treatment. With FHIR, we can now integrate multiple vendor systems (e.g., Cancer Rears Its Ugly Head.

Digital health developers shouldn’t have to learn the hundreds of flavors of FHIR implementations and APIs to share data , Patrick Schiess at Darena Solutions told John. Read more… Constructing a Responsible AI Framework for Prior Authorization.
Break-Glass events should happen very rarely, but when they do the Audit Log must be relied upon to provide transparency to the activities. The disadvantage of this is that unnecessary Break-Glass events will be declared. FHIR OperationOutcome. All responses to requests in FHIR can carry a OperationOutcome. Post analysis.
This fall Brenda entered her story in a competition for the “DevDays” (Developer Days) for the HL7 FHIR community. She was chosen as one of the four finalists who won a stipend to help them attend the Patient Innovator Track at the event, in Amsterdam, which was held last week. More on that below.) They’re doing it.
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 is more than just a selection of FHIR Resources. A complete system.
The new company spun out of healthcare interoperability leader 1upHealth three months ago and secured $13M in funding, co-led by Craft Ventures and Obvious Ventures. GenHealth.ai’s patent-pending approach is to train transformer-based machine-learning models directly on encoded medical events instead of text.
I’m going to be doing a number of things over the course of the event (a couple of days) – and the days leading up to it. This should be of value to servers implementing an IPS endpoint as well as useful to FHIR beginners as it has a number of useful visualizations. IG’s are the ‘next big thing’ for FHIR.
I have been in a few discussions lately where the question came up on how to add additional information to an ATNA Audit Message (aka FHIR AuditEvent). When all audit events are recorded with their transaction identifier, then one can see all the audit events caused by one transaction. But there is a need to setup some things.
I think the most useful value-add that an HIE can add is an API that is based on FHIR. Not just Provenance (Who, What, Where, When, Why), but also care setting, intention of the event, duration of the event, etc. A Document Sharing environment can share FHIR documents. This setting does have an Option "XDS on FHIR".
That will make HIMSS less helpful than not having the event. The purpose of the agreement is to help accelerate the development of new and updated IHE profiles and associated real world testing that support advancing FHIR. I am not advocating for canceling, just hoping that people put on their big-boy-pants and come to HIMSS anyway.
Healthcare IT and EHR Conferences and Events. 2022 Predictions for Healthcare Interoperability – A third predictions post doing so well. Does this mean people cared about RPM and Healthcare Interoperability the most in 2022? Where Are We At With FHIR? The State of Interoperability – COVID and Beyond.
While the key components of privacy (administrative, uses and disclosures, individual rights, and general security) are all necessary today, I would put privacy, security, breach – and relevant 21 Century Cures Interoperability topics – all together and make sure everyone handling any type of sensitive information be subject to these rules.
Falling mostly in the category of FHIR, Consent/AccessControl, or De-Identification. Where do I record the Reason that an auditable event happened? I hope that they were useful. How to set the ConfidentialityCode Strawman on Consent Directive Privacy Principles Why Mutual-Authorized-TLS?
Are their interoperability standards? link] IHE has a supplement on ATNA that brings in FHIR AuditEvent [link] With this linkage between FHIR and ATNA, the events can be recorded using FHIR restful create, and can be accessed using FHIR search. Must I record using ATNA or FHIR AuditEvent?
June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Redox – the leader in healthcare interoperability – recently partnered with Sage Growth Partners to survey executives and technology decision-makers from over 100 large academic medical centers and multi-hospital health systems. MADISON, Wis.,
A couple weeks ago, Oracle’s acquisition of Cerner closed and Oracle held an event to announce the vision for the The Future of Healthcare. I think we all know the answer to that and FHIR and all these other standards won’t get us there either. You can watch the full event video embedded below as well.
Like it or not, fax is still part of today’s solution to healthcare’s interoperability problem. In a nutshell, real-time updates enabled by FHIR are the future. In another dispatch from the Civitas Networks / DirectTrust event, John learned that many HIE projects suffer from a marketing problem.
Acting as an ignition event for virtual care, the COVID-19 pandemic has inducted patients and providers alike into the benefits of evidence-based telemedicine. Helping You Meet Your Interoperability Goals. As we look back at 2020, we can clearly see that telehealth adoption and use exploded. Successful data-driven initiatives.
