Certainly AI us currently doing that in health IT, but in the world of interoperability TEFCA and QHINs are grabbing all of the attention. There are a lot of views on TEFCA, but the one thing that’s certain is that it’s grabbing a lot of the interoperability focus from government regulators and the industry.
But if you have interoperability and can you look up all that information about the patient, suddenly you see what's really going to be important to help you treat that patient. And that's what interoperability is able to do. On the value of FHIR for data exchange: I think the key to many things is standardization.
For those not familiar with 1upHealth, the provide a FHIR platform for payers, providers, and developers. At the HLTH conference last month, I had a chance to talk with Ricky Sahu, CEO at 1upHealth.
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).
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 ®. I love being able to offer Carequality OBO via Redox Access as an interoperability option, especially to software vendors that are new to integration and want to prove out value quickly.
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.
This happened to be the same timeframe that Grahame was fanning the FHIR flames. So we joined forces and brought the concepts needed for XDS into FHIR®. So now, I take those FHIR based Resources and re-write the profile. Retrieve Document – This transaction is used to get documents. The basics are shown here.
Tethered PHRs became available when patient portals were launched by hospitals, health systems, and clinics to meet the CMS MeaningfulUse requirements. FHIR is finally allowing true interoperability to become a reality. We can also expect to see some very interesting days ahead as Amazon dives into health care.
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 good news is that FHIR has a Document model, and the FHIR Document model has a directly convertible data model A FHIR Document travels an HIE easily CDA will fade, but never disappear. This first step is critical to Interoperability. This first step is critical to Interoperability.
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. The Harlow Group LLC.

During the boom that was meaningfuluse and adoption of EHR software, consulting companies played an integral role in almost every large healthcare organization when it came to rolling out EHR software. One of the most interesting evolutions in healthcare IT has been the evolution of healthcare IT staffing and consulting companies.
Of course, that's been the case every year over the past decade since the first meaningfuluse checks were mailed out, kickstarting the digital healthcare age as we know it. The EHR vendor’s founder also discusses the state of interoperability, cloud computing and today’s sticking points in health IT.
43 A recent development may offer hope: the federal government’s “meaningfuluse” requirements for EHR certification are calling for greater interoperability through an emerging data-exchange standard called Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).
