Most of the data that we are looking to share is highly sensitive healthinformation, the kind of information that cybercriminals love to hold for ransom. TEFCA like healthinformation networks (HINs) bring non-HIPAA entities (no direct/indirect healthcare service operations) but at a large scale and with broader coverage.

At Verinovum, we aim to remedy the pervasive problem of poor-quality clinical data with our Data Curation as a ServiceSM approach, so that clean, high-quality clinical data can inform reporting and actionable insights.
The large insurance companies, hospitals, and healthcare systems have signed on to healthinformation exchange and will mandate that any business conducted with them will require vendors to use the data exchanges they support. That said, we are already seeing a Walmart-style model being deployed.
About NYeC New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) is a not-for-profit organization working in partnership with the New York State Department of Health to improve healthcare by collaboratively leading, connecting, and integrating healthinformation exchange across the State.
Etienne Boshoff, Managing Director at EHR Enhancify Healthcare interoperability is advancing through the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), standardized APIs like FHIR, and emerging technologies such as blockchain. These challenges can be effectively addressed through several strategies.
In 2023, health IT vendors will continue to work to maintain compliance as part of new regulatory requirements related to the 21st Century Cures Act. The CMS proposed ruling requires impacted payers to build and maintain a FHIR API, starting January 1st, 2026, in effort to improve the cumbersome and costly prior authorization process.
TEFCA outlines a common set of principles, terms, and conditions to enable the nationwide exchange of healthinformation across disparate healthinformation networks (HINs). We applaud the hard work that the ONC, CMS, The Sequoia Project, and the Qualified HealthInformation Exchanges (QHINs) have done to bring it live.
The Argonaut Project is a collaborative effort between the healthcare industry and the technology industry to develop and implement standards for exchanging electronic healthinformation (EHI).

1upHealth’s FHIR®-native platform designed for interoperability and modern computing is used by over 75 enterprise organizations including leading national and regional health plans, the highest performing CMS ACOs, international clinical research organizations, and over 20 state medicaid agencies.
But the administrative costs for providers to share this information keep escalating. The healthcare industry’s steady progress toward interoperability and healthinformation exchange promises to improve data exchange to address these challenges. Automated chart retrieval is performed at scale, leveraging modern HL7 FHIR APIs.
Consequences for non-participation are currently unclear, although providers may be cited for non-compliance with federal information blocking regulations which, according to the recent HHS proposed rule could be up to $1 million per violation. Of note, the XCPD, XCA, and XDR profiles do not currently support FHIR natively.
Because there’s so much happening out there in healthcare IT we aren’t able to cover in our full articles, we still want to make sure you’re informed of all the latest news, announcements, and stories happening to help you better do your job. News In a blog post, ONC highlighted trends in patient access to electronic healthinformation.
HIMSS also released a new Community Care Outcomes Maturity Model (C-COMM) , which is designed to highlight the use of digital communication, population-level data, healthinformation exchange, decision support, and predictive analytics to provide personalized care in non-acute settings.
In addition, the solutions support FHIR terminology management and mapping, value set management, and converting unstructured data, such as notes fields, into discrete interoperable information. Around the globe, healthcare organizations rely on HealthTerm to support data quality governance and healthinformation exchange.
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.
Digital virtual assistants can then construct true dialogs that “learn” from the patient to zero in on intent and context so relevant, accurate information is provided. Vijay Verma, VP of Product Strategy at TeleVox A common shortcoming in healthcare communication systems is interoperability.
Leslie sees development of open APIs, of FHIR, to be positive, but not yet the dominant reality, in terms of widespread adoption and use. Some CHIME members are leveraging FHIR today, but not all are doing it as robustly as possible. She notes that “The CIO’s battle cry is ‘Standards!’”

But when dealing with all of the many things that providers do and the highly important healthinformation about patients, something as simple as selecting a communication platform becomes a very tricky situation. How do you maintain the security and privacy of your patient’s healthinformation as cyberattacks continue to climb?

Therasa Bell, Cofounder, President and CTO at Kno2 , has spent her career in healthcare IT, so it’s very meaningful to hear her speak of Kno2’s intention to become a designated QHIN (Qualified HealthInformation Network) under the TEFCA, asserting, “This is a turning point”.

Second, instead of merely reporting their claim to the ONC and waiting for an investigation, they launched a lawsuit with information blocking at the center. Perhaps they expected the judge to act faster than the ONC would—and if so, the strategy paid off in the preliminary injunction.
We’ll also take a view out the windshield, explaining why generous data sharing is a highly leveraged clinical and business strategy. This is the opening presentation of the AIN virtual conference: Health Data Unbound — Innovations in Health Data Sharing. In this presentation , we recap, update, and extend our rationale.
In search of clarification on these complications, we reached out to our brilliant Healthcare IT Today Community to ask what role does healthinformation management play in improving the accuracy and accessibility of patient information across different healthcare systems? The following are their answers.
Improving the quality of data in this new vision of health services and care pathways is of critical importance, as the title of the Department of Health & Social Care strategy states in its 2022 strategy Data Saves Lives.
Blockchain's interoperability could underpin data exchange, serving as an alternative to today's healthinformation exchanges (HIEs); essentially, it would act as a mesh network for transmitting secure, near real-time patient data for healthcare providers, pharmacies, insurance payers and clinical researchers, according to IDC. . "And
