Among the many aspects we could explore in Health Populi , I’ve chosen two that are most top-of-mind for my work these days: interoperability and AI, comparing US to the peer OECD nations. ranking near-bottom for interoperability, America ranks top for AI in the OECD’s Global AI Index. So with the U.S. In the U.S.,
FHIR, or Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, are quickly being adopted on a massive scale. While only 24% of healthcare companies currently utilize application programming […] The article 3 Ways Process Automation Can Help with FHIR Adoption appeared first on electronichealthreporter.com.
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.
Additionally, this innovation must address challenges such as data accuracy, patient privacy, and interoperability. Rob Helton, SVP of Product at WebPT To make AI truly transformative in healthcare, we need to tackle three core challenges: data quality, interoperability, and cost.
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 cloud and FHIR standards are fostering a new era of interoperability in health care. Seeing AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Google Cloud in large booth spaces on the exhibitor floor space was a visual confirmation that health care IT is now more about data than technology.
They also discuss how FHIR and TEFCA are helping the cause. Tellingly, 60% of recommended imaging isn’t followed up on , and panelists said the one-two punch of limited interoperability and poor engagement play a big part in that. Read more… A Look at Changes in the New HIPAA Security Rule.
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.
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? Healthcare is going to be rapidly advancing as patient data becomes more interoperable and effectively used across traditional organizational boundaries.
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.
This includes encryption, access controls, and compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. Interoperability: TIEs facilitate interoperability between different healthcare systems, enabling seamless data exchange and collaboration. Data Transformation: Converting data into a standardised format to ensure interoperability.
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.

Create a competitive advantage in the future of healthcare What is a FHIR data store? A FHIR data store is a clinical data repository (CDR) that aggregates and stores healthcare data (demographics, results, images, admissions, transfers, diagnosis, etc.) FHIR is easily shared across systems. FHIR is human-readable.
We asked our talented Healthcare IT Today Community – in the context of interoperability, what challenges and barriers exist in achieving standardized and secure data exchange across different healthcare systems, and how can these obstacles be addressed? The following are their answers. However, this rule is only the first step.
The following is a guest article by Doug Clayton from WestFax. The origin of the modern fax machine dates back to the 1960’s. From that analog origin to enterprise-scale cloud fax, we have seen the evolution of fax from simple point to point document exchange to something extremely powerful and capable. Some pundits see fax […].

Digital health developers shouldn’t have to learn the hundreds of flavors of FHIR implementations and APIs to share data , Patrick Schiess at Darena Solutions told John. Read more… Protecting Your Organization From a Hidden HIPAA Threat.
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. We won’t see accelerated adoption of interoperability standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7).
Familiarity with interoperability standards is also essential, as is the need to stay abreast of evolving compliance requirements. HIPAA), and healthcare data and interoperability standards (Ex., Interoperability: Healthcare systems no longer operate stand-alone. Epic), regulations and compliance requirements (ex.,
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?
A few of my favorite comments were: “Jim Cramer needs a crash course in FHIR standards” from the wonkier section of peanut gallery. The fact is that HIPAA may not cover all of these data flows. Cramer’s pronouncement led to a tweetstorm where hundreds of tweeters in and outside of health/care talked back and with Cramer.
Interoperability is an overlapping set of technical and policy challenges, from data access to common data models to information exchange to workflow integration – and these challenges often pose a barrier to healthcare innovation. Microsoft has been engaged for many years on developing best practices for interoperability across industries.
My debut focused on how the CMS proposed Interoperability and Prior Authorization rule would dramatically improve prior authorization processes with electronic processing via APIs. CMS just finalized the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule CMS-0057-F , or what many have called the “Interop 3” rule. ICYMI: It didn’t.
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. Conversely, people wouldn’t spend time trying to remain “outside of regulations.”
Here’s a quick look at some of the health IT jobs we found: Epic Application Analyst/Coordinator (Remote) – Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic IT Systems Admin – United Surgical Partners International, Inc HIM Director – Conifer Health Solutions Information Technology Support Technician – Insight Global STCI-Health Records (..)
2022 Predictions for Healthcare Interoperability – A third predictions post doing so well. Does this mean people cared about RPM and Healthcare Interoperability the most in 2022? HIPAA vs HIPPA – Fun Friday – I’m glad some humor made the top list since I enjoy humor as much or more than the next person.
These perspectives reinforce each other as she works to improve the regulatory landscape shaping security and interoperability in her role at CHIME overseeing congressional engagement efforts focused on effective use of health IT. Some CHIME members are leveraging FHIR today, but not all are doing it as robustly as possible.

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.
Providers, payers, pharma, and even health technology organizations are challenged to make their healthcare data transformative because it is deeply sensitive, highly regulated, and lives in silos that are not interoperable. Redox is also the leader in transporting data at scale – capable of achieving near real-time data availability.
As cases are automated on communication platforms, there is a growing need to interoperably share care plans for patients/persons beyond the case worker team and out within the community’s ecosystem of stakeholders. However, there have been some promising indicators that FHIR-enabled care coordination could be changing the game.
One of the key goals of health care reform, going back to HIPAA in 1996 and particularly the HITECH act of 2009, is to allow the free flow of patient data in a secure and privacy-preserving way. Now we’ll see how Real Time responded and look at the new burdens that AI is placing on health care as revealed by the case.
Read further to explore how Redox and Amazon Web Services (AWS) combine to deliver the Redox data interoperability platform on top of AWS’s scalable infrastructure. The Redox data interoperability platform enables data liquidity with a better, faster, and more effective method of data exchange than traditional integration approaches.
As part of my advisory position on SHIFT Shift (formerly Protecting Privacy to Promote Interoperability PP2PI) was founded in 2018 and formalized in 2020 with a mission to advance safe, equitable, and patient-empowered sharing of health information. I used to do this top to bottom, but don't really have a work driver to base my comments upon.
My philosophy is that Interoperability Standards are not a destination, they are a catalyst that enables something far greater to happen. I have over 30 years of experience with IT communications, including 18 years of expertise in Healthcare Interoperability Standards and the application of Privacy.
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.
During the past year, PointClickCare certified their service as an EHR with the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC), which allows the company to demonstrate compliance with laws and standards such as HIPAA. ” The certification turns out to have other legal consequences examined in a later article in this series.
2 Seamless interoperability and integration management will be critical to this hybrid approach. 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.
Michael sees the persisting lack of interoperability as something that harms the patient, harms the provider, and raises cost. Aprima belongs to CommonWell, has done some FHIR development, and Michael would like to see Congress condition Medicare reimbursement on real interoperability. Health Care Law and Consulting.
