The following is a guest article by Shannon West, Chief Product Officer at Datavant Since the dawn of electronic medical records, American healthcare delivery systems have traced a winding path toward the dream of seamless and timely healthdata interoperability. Rate limiting is not inherent to the FHIR standards.
He had me at the statement, “I believe healthdata is medicine.”. Those were the words of Ardy Arianpour, CEO and Co-Founder of Seqster, when sharing with me how his company was founded. In summing up the patient-centered interoperability goal, Ardy summarized: “We’ve created the Mint.com of healthdata.”
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.
Cross-Community Patient Discovery (XCPD) HealthData Locator and Revoke Option - Rev. The Cross-Community Patient Discovery (XCPD) HealthData Locator and Revoke Option Supplement enhances the existing IHE XCPD Integration Profile by adding two new capabilities.
I have covered the vision of Data Segmentation for Privacy (DS4P) concept, and outline how a Security Labeling Service (SLS) would enable this grandiose vision of DS4P. However, there are stepping stones: The following is a slightly update on an article I wrote in July 2015 on how to set the confidentialityCode.
Patients, regulators, and payers are insisting on data exchange in health care. 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.
Examples include using Teams for virtual care visits, Teams integration with Cerner electronic health record, and additional enhancements on the Azure HealthData Services using AI. Salesforce has announced that it will improve its Salesforce Customer 360 for Health product, adding new features. Virtual care.
Automated chart retrieval is performed at scale, leveraging modern HL7 FHIR APIs. The specific, requested data is intelligently pulled from the provider organization’s systems to fulfill the request—including over 200+ EHRs using MRO’s proprietary technology.
Healthcare IT Today received a demo from Rajat Mukherji at Spectrum Enterprise on how to monitor network traffic in the hospital and at home – including temperature and humidity sensors in key locations. Read more… Making Healthcare App Development and FHIRData Access Easy.
They will also contribute to the design and development of novel software tools to support measure calculation and data validation. 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.
You’ve met up with security experts to see how to keep everything secure during the move and how to keep it secure on the cloud. Public clouds bring scalability and are ideal for many applications, but the sensitive nature of healthdata often demands the security depth of private clouds.
Don Rucker, Chief Strategy Officer at 1upHealth The entire digital app world is powered by APIs, which allow computation on individual data fields – your check deposit amount, real-time weather, and your seat on the airplane. These API protocols are known and used by hundreds of thousands of developers.
The Argonaut Project is a collaborative effort between the healthcare industry and the technology industry to develop and implement standards for exchanging electronic health information (EHI). The Argonaut Project focuses on the development and implementation of FHIR, a standard for exchanging healthcare data.
Most use of FHIR today is as an API to an organizations health information (EHR). However what is being asked latey is how does one scale FHIR to a nation. I have plenty of articles on how a Nationwide Health Information Exchange (HIE) could be built with the IHE XD* family of profiles.
This presents a key challenge to CIOs and data leaders at healthcare provider and payer organizations: Access to this valuable data and making it actionable without inserting risk. Those who will manage to increase data use in a safe way will accelerate innovation. Ben Herzberg, Chief Scientist at Satori.
. $10B contract w/Cerner = HUGE opportunity, 1ce in a lifetime, to rally around and use it to make something BE interoperable, and show the way to the rest of the healthcare landscape on how to do it. VA is largest health system in the country. Argonaut, HL7, FHIR are toolkit. and enable open sharing across systems.
Ten years ago the whole issue of personal healthdata exploded into the headlines. In one view, in the decade since then not much has changed, but in another view, an enormous amount of infrastructure has changed, and I think we’re on the verge of an eruption due to the success of the new FHIRdata interface.
Patient data unification startup b.well Connected Health cut through last week’s tradeshow noise with $40M in Series C funding to advance its mission to solve healthcare’s fragmentation problem.
You’ll collaborate closely with others on the various technologies of our health information exchange platform to implement software solutions. HOW TO APPLY: Please email a copy of your cover letter and resume to HR@transformsso.ca. Looks like a great opportunity for those with experience with health information exchange architecture.
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? Most of the data that we are looking to share is highly sensitive health information, the kind of information that cybercriminals love to hold for ransom.
Here are some specific reflections: FHIR adoption: We missed the mark on our HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) growth prediction. It certainly is growing, but FHIR has not picked up the steam we had hoped for in 2023. We reflected on that in our recap of 2023 FHIR DevDays. Sadly, he was wrong.
When it comes to legacy systems and interoperability, standards such as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) are being adopted to ensure diverse systems can communicate effectively – not just within the organization, but across the entire industry.
Howdata are tagged with specific kinds of sensitivity labels is the topic of my next article. Conclusion So, this is why the health database can't be simply treated as a "Permit all access." It is important that any organization that has healthdata must start with gross Permit and Deny capability.
There are many standards efforts to develop support for Patient directed Authorization to their healthdata. This article is all about IHE Document Sharing, and not about FHIR. Yet the same lesson needs to be recognized in FHIR. I will be writing a few articles about these efforts.
These enhancements have the potential to not only reduce provider costs, but also prevent errors, advance treatments, and improve health outcomes. AI’s superpower lies in its ability to intelligently mine insights from the exponential amount of healthdata that is generated every second. The Healthcare Data Explosion.”
There is a belief that by enabling direct access and control over their own healthdata, patients will be in a better position to drive their health and healthcare. Tech giants Apple and Google have both undertaken major healthcare initiatives aimed at improving patient access to their data.
While the underlying FHIR (aka, fast healthcare interoperability resource) deployed by DeepMind for Streams uses an open API, the contract between the company and the Royal Free Trust funnels connections via DeepMind’s own servers, and prohibits connections to other FHIR servers.
As proof, FHIR Documents will re-open this discussion. Especially with the CDA-on-FHIR efforts. A Patient Generated HealthData (PGHD) CDA document vs a CCDA CCD. And how to best support Document Consumer needs. text/x-hl7-text+xml urn:hl7-org:sdwg:ccda-structuredBody:1.1 are laying around. are laying around.
They have enlisted two of the largest medical records companies, Epic Systems and Cerner, as well as Athenahealth, and a number of respected healthcare institutions, including Johns Hopkins Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, Penn Medicine and UC San Diego Health. Medical record data is not that compelling from a consumer perspective.
The collaboration aims to solve the industry’s pressing challenges around healthdata fragmentation, real-time analytics, and compliance, offering innovative solutions for healthcare interoperability. Are you unsure how to transition from potential to reality? The potential value of cloud capabilities is staggering.
Algorithms based on biased data can lead to inaccurate diagnoses, predictions, and actions that can further marginalize vulnerable populations, fuel racism, and drive worse health and financial outcomes. For example, the CMS-0057-P proposed rule requires the use of FHIR APIs and essentially builds upon previous regulations.
Simultaneously, these biomarkers must be of sufficient direct value to patients to justify their participation in the data-collection effort. Greater investment in the science of digital biomarkers is needed to evaluate the value of mobile healthdata for clinical use. None of this is easy.
Answers included making sense of unstructured data, reducing documentation, and predicting utilization trends – all based on the notion of using AI to aid healthcare workers and not replace them. Read more… Navigating Population HealthData and HEDIS in an Ambulatory Practice.
The HealthData, Technology, and Interoperability ( HTI-2 ) proposed rule was released in July 2024, and the newly renamed Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ASTP) is expected to issue the final rule late in 2024.
