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.
Microsoft took a step to address health data interoperability with Azure API for FHIR in 2019. For example, a patient whose lack of transportation makes it difficult to get to their appointment on time could use Patient Virtual Care to connect with their physician virtually. More holistic view of the patient.
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.
Last week a handful of Redoxers headed over the big pond to take in 2023 HL7 FHIR DevDays. We loved connecting and reconnecting with the world’s foremost FHIR enthusiasts in Amsterdam. For example, there is healthy demand to implement FHIR-based queries (e.g., FHIR’s promise as a programable standard is being delivered.
A great example of this is de-identified patient data sets, where we’re able to take a large volume of data and determine trends. Diana Sonbay-Benli, VP & Chief Product Officer, Cognizant TriZetto Healthcare Products at Cognizant Since the advent of HIPAA, almost a career’s duration ago, we’ve focused on the safeguarding of data.
For example, as a patient walks into the clinic, a physician notices his gait. These platforms are HIPAA compliant and offer integration with devices and EMRs. With EMRs offering healthcare-standard APIs (such as FHIR) for integration, patients need to select devices with integration capabilities using healthcare standards.
Some of these technologies include the ability to meet and adhere to privacy and security requirements, such as HIPAA, through data security and privacy technologies that allow for consistent data protection across QHINs to allow for the exchange of EHI. These API protocols are known and used by hundreds of thousands of developers.
In Europe, this is GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), in America, it’s HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Healthtech providers can adopt HL7 (Health Level Seven) or FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). AWS solutions require software compatible with HIPAA standards.
Hearing about these pain points from stakeholders is why I’d “repackage HIPAA” if I were a regulator for a day. In that manner, businesses that remained “outside of the purview of HIPAA” would be impacted. For example, menopause care management currently does not have a viable reimbursement pathway.
Mateusz Krempa, COO at Piwik Pro Broader reflection and discussion on HIPAA-compliant technologies would help the industry see beyond popular solutions and identify tools that balance successful data processing with regulatory requirements. FHIR, HL7). The following is what they had to share with us. advertising platforms).
The HIPAA Accounting of Disclosures is obsolete and dangerous. I am using the word "applications" mostly generically, but clearly "FHIR Applications" are a proper subset of applications. As FHIR matures, this subset may become the only set of applications. This would be ideal, but is simply not realistic.
The inclusion of social services organizations in the CA DxF is also unique as these entities are not recognized as healthcare providers under HIPAA and data sharing has been limited. Of note, the XCPD, XCA, and XDR profiles do not currently support FHIR natively. The CA DxF includes both clinical and social determinants data.
One example of leveraging AI as a tool to integrate new information sources could be by integrating natural language processing to both recognize audio, visual, and written communications and provide additional context or patient information from their EHR in real-time.
Some examples where BPPC are used: Connecticut HIE: For release of Privileged Care information, a consent document SHALL be registered with HITE-CT in the form of a BPPC conformant document using the Opt-in for Legally Protected Data (ALL) policy. One can't simply have a code "HIPAA" which is understood everywhere as meaning the same thing.
Within FHIR, the FHIR Provenance works fine. Outside of FHIR, the W3C PROV model works fine. For example, I pull in three EHR datasets with de-identification that supports longitudinal consistency, and because the data are de-identified the original HIPAA regulation requirement is eliminated, yet the region covered is expanded.
In the first two posts, I covered how Redox is overcoming current limitations with bulk FHIR and translating data between HL7 ® v2 and HL7 ® FHIR ®. Currently, organizations are only required to respond to queries for the Treatment purpose of use , as defined by HIPAA. Let’s dive in. What is Carequality?
There is some strong discussion going on at HL7 around privacy concerns, especially now that HL7 FHIR has enabled easy application writing. Although we do have HIPAA, GINA, 42-CFR Part 2, and many state augmentations. Apple is a good example of building Privacy in by design, and they have few (not zero) issues.
Telehealth is the obvious example here. This example is so obvious that many investors aren’t even excited about telehealth anymore. For instance, if we think of the things that patients still need to go into the clinic for we can find numerous examples. To add fuel to the fire (or FHIR?
In most cases, the legacy protocols need to be translated into the more modern HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) protocol which requires in-depth healthcare data knowledge and experience. Redox for Cloud is an infinitely scalable engine that is hosted on AWS and is HIPAA-compliant, HITRUST & SOC 2 certified.
Second, Redox transforms the myriad of data specifications in use today—such as FHIR, HL7v2, CDA/CCD, X12, XML, custom CSVs—into a standard set of JSON data models. For example, one system might refer to “Food Allergy” as a custom value of “FA”. Further, Redox ensures that data is normalized to standard value sets.
Aprima belongs to CommonWell, has done some FHIR development, and Michael would like to see Congress condition Medicare reimbursement on real interoperability. For example, Linguamatics can flag a report of a pulmonary nodule overnight and trigger needed follow-up the next day. Health Care Law and Consulting.

Consumers complain about the cost of getting copies of their electronic information from their providers and Ciox has sued over the HIPAA limitation on how much providers can charge. Health insurance examples would be prior authorization, medical management, risk adjustment, and quality. Many are the examples that you just gave.
It can also leverage the open, API-compatible Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) interface, a set of standards that will be available in every major EHR to consolidate lifetime clinical records from different EHR providers. It's the lattice work or the skeleton for it," Shegewi said.
This year marked my inaugural voyage to HL7® FHIR® DevDays , alongside my Redox colleagues, Autumn Ike , and Mike Paetz. This expert community built around FHIR is as collectively passionate as they are incredibly knowledgeable.

For example, how can you ensure the data wasn’t changed or corrupted during the transfer? The professionals that manage the information data analysts and health informaticists, for example serve as architects of interoperability, using technology standards like FHIR to build bridges between islands of patient data.
For example, we all have a favorite gas station based on where we live and what our price and snack preferences are, this is an area where having different choices is great. FHIR-based API usage by Payers (Government and Commercial) in the next few years will usher in enriched datasets to TEFCA networks.
Building on recent trends, we’ll see greater emphasis on interoperability, consumer ownership of data, and the integration of niche service providers with traditional healthcare systems, for example, partnerships between health systems and virtual chronic care solutions.
Healthcare data is complex, and while advancing FHIR will help, the fact is healthcare organizations need to invest in an enterprise healthcare data strategy and platform to really leverage the power of data. I negotiate them into all of my major agreements, if they’re not already there. Was a Community CIO ). Disruption Please ).
The introduction of standards like SMART on FHIR and FHIR has significantly improved data interoperability, allowing for easier extraction of data and better integration with external applications, especially in modern EHRs that support these standards.
As such, as a regulator for a day, I’d implement critical clarification and updates of HIPAA, its scope and classification when it comes to medical guidance from AI-powered tools, outline the responsibility and liability of AI, and explore the selling of data for profit without transparency and consent.
For example, eHealth Exchange participants are taking advantage of its single API to join Carequality and TEFCA with no additional subscription fees or paperwork to sign. We are fully invested in using Networked Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) for connecting with payers. The exact process varies from QHIN to QHIN.
These two dozen exhibits detail growing adoption of digital tech in health care, the growth of genomics and EHR adoption, examples of these tools from “A” (Apple) to “Z” (Zocdoc), and on the last page of that chapter, medical spending in the U.S., the highest in raw and per capita numbers versus the rest of the world.
What examples have you seen of telehealth, remote patient monitoring and chatbots in the cloud, and what has been the impact on patients? For example, telehealth can allow physicians to provide remote care to patients in the moments after a stroke or a heart attack until paramedics arrive. For example, the U.S.
