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.
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.
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.
The journey to achieve interoperability in healthcare has been too long and too expensive. To address this, companies have put effort into creating interoperability tools and platforms designed to make it easier to exchange data. To accelerate interoperability efforts, however, creating more technology may not the answer.
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.
There are a lot of components to consider and talk about in regards to interoperability and data sharing. Today we are going to focus on the innovative technologies and standards that are currently being employed to make our dreams of a better system of interoperability and data sharing a reality. The following are their answers.
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. More holistic view of the patient.
Each of the teams with whom we collaborated did a stellar job with their pitch desks, business model articulation, and deployment of the latest technology – for example, chatbots working toward mental health and FHIR standards toward interoperability.
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.
Healthcare Analytics and Interoperability. And now, check out our community’s healthcare analytics and interoperability predictions. The interoperability community has been waiting for the updated Prior Authorization proposal after the late 2020 proposal was withdrawn due to concerns about costs and deadlines.
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.
In a number of contexts, people are using FHIR in production to make or report on patient appointments. How to represent this in FHIR: Mark an appointment as a virtual appointment. Examples include telephone conference, email exchange, robotic surgery, and televideo conference. it) has co-morbidities that are known risk factors.
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.
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. Let’s dive in.
The IHE IT-Infrastructure committee continues to produce new and improved specifications for HIE interoperability. The first is the ability to exchange a list of health data locations, which enables Record Locator Services to interoperate with consumers wishing to discover the location of patient records within a health information exchange.
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. Most IT organizations have the tech chops to be interoperable. They don’t want to buy another tool.
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?
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.
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.
GlobalMed recently announced that it is delivering FHIR-enabled integration to address interoperability limits between virtual care delivery solutions and other systems such as EHRs and practice management software. Has your system changed its compatibility with FHIR versions and upgraded from STU2 to 3? Introducing DIMS.
The project has been successful in developing and implementing a number of standards, including the Argonaut FHIR Data Exchange Standard and the Argonaut FHIR API Standard. The Argonaut Project focuses on the development and implementation of FHIR, a standard for exchanging healthcare data.
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.

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.
FHIR ® R5 has been officially released at hl7.org/fhir. This is the fifth major version of FHIR, and the culmination of years of work by talented HL7 volunteers. As a very programmable specification, FHIR can generate a list of all the differences from R4. This is exciting as it means FHIR is closer to becoming very stable.
What Is Interoperability in Healthcare? The ability of different systems, devices, and applications to work together and exchange information seamlessly is known as interoperability in healthcare. CMS Calls for FHIR Adoption to Enhance Interoperability in Healthcare IT. The proposed rule also includes five RFIs.
Before we start thinking of the specifics of coding in lab tests, a quick review of coded data in FHIR in general is probably a good idea. The strength of the binding is ‘example’, which means that, actually, any code from any codesystem is allowed. For example, a url value of [link] would indicate that this is a LOINC code.
In health care, we turn to ANSI health data standards like HL7 and FHIR for data interoperability, and DICOM for moving medical images from place to place. Foundation, for example, has several micro-themes embodied in its color group like dreaming, resting, and writing.
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).
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.
Two independent projects this week sent to the FHIR mailing list their diagrams of how they are using FHIR as an API to classic XDS environments. The power of using FHIR as a simplifying API to classic environments. Our project will use FHIR as an abstraction layer for the application. These are great examples.
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 ®. An example Let’s say your AI telehealth application has been purchased by a virtual urgent care clinic for use by their clinicians. Let’s dive in. What is Carequality?
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.
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? 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. So many good answers here!
FHIR defines a Questionnaire resource that specifies a set of questions for a user, along with a QuestionnaireResponse resource to capture their response. A few of us have been working on proposals for how these problems could be solved in an interoperable way. Prepopulating a questionnaire. This extension defines a ‘variable’.
For example, artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to improve financial forecasting, risk management, and decision-making processes while automation can streamline routine operations and improve productivity to reduce costs. We won’t see accelerated adoption of interoperability standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7).

Updated: Vadim Peretokin advises on the FHIR chat : You're better off in the world if you know about this stuff though. After that we updated the FHIR specification with a section on being robust to narrative sections. We likely need to update this section to be more on Input Validation with SQL injection and now XXE as examples.
Example Standards: FHIR + v2 (from HL7 ) Snomed CT LOINC DICOM (from NEMA ) etc (there’s 100+ organizations creating platform standards). Thing is, that’s what FHIR does too, and it’s very definitely a platform standard. They define how things can work. There’s lots of organizations working in this space.
