The following is a guest article by Paul L Wilder, Executive Director, CommonWell Health Alliance. I still remember being with a New York State HIE at the time, on the HIMSS13 floor, and being asked by a reporter to speculate about what it meant. It has also required that resilient individuals and organizations stay focused.
As someone who has covered the health IT industry for 17 years, I’m always fascinated when I see something really grab the attention of the health IT community. There’s no one solution that will solve the health data sharing problem. It will include TEFCA, FHIR, HIEs, Direct Messages, APIs and much more.
John and Colin evaluated the many areas of health IT where the company is having an impact – and debated areas where Epic may actually not disrupt the market. Read more… FDA FHIR Pilot Automates Adverse Events Reporting and Validation.
Along with learning about healthKERI and the KERI standard, we ask Jeffery how healthKERI is different than other interoperability options out there and where the KERI standard would fit when it comes to other standards like HL7 and FHIR.
Leslie Krigstein comes to the health IT policy arena both as the VP of CHIME for congressional affairs and as a family member of a cancer patient. Another arena in which CHIME is seeking to be a convener is in designing health IT approaches to address the opioid epidemic. She notes that “The CIO’s battle cry is ‘Standards!’”

In the world of health IT and healthcare policy, this is the day we love to share our love (and some disdain) for healthcare in what we call #HealthPolicyValentines. Less fragmented health data. Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you! May your lives be filled with love this day. What does that mean for patients?
At HIMSS, John tuned into a TEFCA panel headlined by CommonWell, Epic, Health Gorilla, and MEDITECH. The main takeaway: Exchanging healthcare data is going to include multiple layers of policy and technology , not just TEFCA but also FHIR, HIEs, Direct Messages, APIs, and much more. Healthcare needs to treat data as a strategic asset.
That said, 66% trust their health plan more that the government or non-traditional entities such as Amazon or Walmart to their health insurance. Partnerships eHealth Exchange added C3HIE , a Texas-based HIE, to its network of partners under its anticipated QHIN.
Great move for HISPS to use FHIR to update the directory versus batch file updates. My favorite piece of this is the move to FHIR updates versus the current batch file updates. The reason why the move to FHIR updates of the directory were clear: Updating and adding directory entries in real time is the future.
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.
Personalized care company Surgo Health launched as a Public Benefit Corporation. Cardiac remote monitoring company Implicity released a SMART on FHIR App that reports directly to Epic. Clinical data network OM1 expanded its mental health offering to include schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Jonathan Shapland, Senior Director, Federal Health IT at Maximus Health information management is the backbone of modern healthcare data systems. It forms the foundation for governing the timely, traceable, and accurate flow of health data.
FHIR-based API usage by Payers (Government and Commercial) in the next few years will usher in enriched datasets to TEFCA networks. There is a need for partnership between public-private players to develop patient engagement applications (SMART on FHIR) for better access to data.
The modern health information API, FHIR, includes the Gender Harmony taxonomy developed by HL7. Sharing SDoH CRISP Shared Services is a nonprofit health data utility (HDU) that integrates data between health information exchanges (HIEs).
If you’re not sure whether you’re participating in TEFCA, contact your health information exchange (HIE), QHIN, or electronic health record (EHR) provider. This means you will need to maintain your existing connections to ensure broad access to patient health data for some time even after you begin participating in TEFCA.
