One of the answers to this question for startup companies is FHIR. Certainly the FHIR standard is still maturing to include more data, but the data in the current FHIR standards can solve a lot of data access challenges for startup companies. The contest is pretty simple. That’s right.
One such issue is interoperability. "We've talked about FHIR and interoperability and APIs," said Gregory Moore, corporate vice president of Microsoft health and life sciences. "FHIR is table stakes," he said. "I really believe we're at an opportunity with cloud-enabled virtual care.
Or maybe they hear about this new more modern FHIR standard that will give them access to that data.

Where Are We At With FHIR? Big Bet on FHIR Pays Off.
It’s reasonable for a company like MRO to have a chief interoperability officer. According to their chief interoperability officer, Anthony Murray, the company has spent 22 years building tools to “exchange data seamlessly” in healthcare. MRO also promotes the two-way exchange of data and quality assurance checks.
In a number of contexts, people are using FHIR in production to make or report on patient appointments. How to represent this in FHIR: Mark an appointment as a virtual appointment. But it’s where the patient is not going to turn up in person and some mixture of phone and/or video meeting service is going to be used.
On a forum for FHIR Foundation members, I raised the subject of where FHIR is on the Gartner Hype Cycle (see Gartner write up , or Wikipedia ). FHIR Foundation member Wes Rishel ( @wrishel ), who’s a FHIR user, and also was a Gartner Analyst before he retired, graciously made this contribution that I could post here.
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. Most IT organizations have the tech chops to be interoperable. They don’t want to buy another tool.
Check out the video below to hear the full story and to learn more about the KERI standard that has been used in other industries and now Jeffery and his team are bringing to healthcare. Check out the video below to learn more about Jeffery’s personal journey to becoming a health IT entrepreneur and his company healthKERI.
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.
Introducing GlobalMed’s New Interoperability Tools. Then the telemedicine solution is deployed and you discover the vendor’s version of integration is limited to their video platform, allowing you to launch a video consult from your EHR. Video integration and virtual video consults offer plenty of benefits.
The SMART-on-FHIR open platform allows clinicians to offer third-party apps in a standard manner. A clinician can recommend a service from the patient portal to a patient: a video, a PDF, or an app to manage their condition. Furthermore, a wealth of home-based solutions are being offered by a range of IT companies.
We recently sat down with Mo Weitnauer, Chief Product Officer at MRO , to talk about their newly announced Payer Exchange product which implements near-frictionless interoperability for payer exchange. Check out this video with MRO to learn more about how you can help alleviate the burden of records requests from payers.
Many IT companies have tried to create solutions that advance interoperability in healthcare. While FHIR has made significant headway in creating common protocols and standards for data exchange, there is opportunity to create greater data fluidity among all healthcare stakeholders. These are just two of the many use cases.
In this video, CEO Jim Jacobs describes how they seek “one patient, one record” so that providers have complete and accurate data for the patients they serve. Watch the video for more insights on the use of archives, protocols such as SMART-on-FHIR, and lessons learned working with legacy applications at MediQuant.
Then the telemedicine solution is deployed and you discover the vendor’s version of integration is limited to their video platform, allowing you to launch a video consult from your EHR.

And thank you to all of you for taking the time out of your day to read this article and watch this video!
Healthtech providers can adopt HL7 (Health Level Seven) or FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). The main difference lies in FHIR’s use of RESTful web services and open web technologies like XML, JSON, and RDF, while HL7 supports only XML. HL7 has various versions, with CDA being the most widespread.
