This week’s chat will be hosted by Jeremy Coleman (@JeremyColeman) on the topic “Fhun with FHIR.” HL7 created FHIR to be a […]. We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 10/8 at Noon ET (9 AM PT).
1upHeatlh Recommends a Pragmatic Approach to Interoperability One of the questions we get asked a lot by new digital health entrepreneurs here at Healthcare IT Today is whether building on top of FHIR will mean a solution will be interoperable. The answer, sadly, is no. Healthcare remains a mishmash of data formats.
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. The improvements in prior authorizations alone could save the industry hundreds of millions, improve outcomes, and create a better patientexperience.
Within that data lies the power to deliver better patient care and outcomes, provide further clinical advances and accelerate research breakthroughs, Microsoft said. Microsoft took a step to address health data interoperability with Azure API for FHIR in 2019.
Each of the teams with whom we collaborated did a stellar job with their pitch desks, business model articulation, and deployment of the latest technology – for example, chatbots working toward mental health and FHIR standards toward interoperability.
Christian Dameff and colleagues from UC-San Diego answer the question by saying, yes, PHRs are indeed more promising in this smartphone era with the advancement and adoption of FHIR standards that help make electronic health records more inter-operable.
The HealthEx solution is one of the first AI platforms that enables healthcare organizations to easily create, collect, and enforce patient consent and preferences, and allow health systems to fulfill their roles as trusted stewards of patient data. The HealthEx solution is available today.
The basic (well, not-so-basic) operating system starts with the electronic health record (EHR), accessing data for the patient: allergies, conditions, immunizations, labs, meds, procedures, vitals, in real-time and in a continuous longitudinal timeline.
Our solutions effectively launch them into the future, to a world where data flows seamlessly, workflows are optimized, and patientexperiences are delightful. Up first: Using bulk FHIR. What is bulk FHIR? But they aren’t optimized for retrieving the problem list and medication list for thousands of patients in one go.
Intermountain is in the process of optimizing the patient telehealth experience. Jared Antczak: When we think about our patientexperience, we recognize telehealth is critical to that strategy. For example, we leverage a lot of FHIR APIs to pull information from Cerner and communicate that with DFD.
Partnership will make it possible for individuals to easily consent to share their health record data with researchers to create a 360° view of the patientexperience SAN MATEO, Calif. & The 1up FHIR Platform will ensure health record data is appropriately structured and usable for researchers.

That “future” as Ann Mond Johnson notes is do-able “now.” The barriers to adopting virtual, digital, telehealth modes have been regulatory, financial, and cultural — not so much technical.
HL7 , which has been setting standards for health care since 1987, leapt into the modern age of computer standards by adopting the FHIR standard. One of the FHIR standards, conveniently enough, is a digital insurance card. Results are returned to the patient and, optionally, the prescribing physician. Version 2.0
With their understanding of both clinical needs and technology, they can more easily implement technology to positively impact clinicians’ time and effort and better inform the patientexperience. Standards like FHIR are enabling interoperability which delivers healthcare data exchange between different systems.

Amwell’s Converge platform is designed to integrate with existing workflows, EHRs, patient portals and consumer digital health technologies. It offers access to single sign-on technology and its APIs leverage FHIR. Its goal is to […].
Interoperability is a public good and the industry has made progress over the last 15 years only because of the federal certification program and related standards, specifically the combination of USCDI content transported in FHIR format.
Epic) to real-time patient journey optimization systems that are EMR-agnostic and fueled by far more comprehensive data than what sits in EMRs today. 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.
This strategic acquisition aims to improve the patientexperience and expedite access to vital specialty medications, such as infusions and in-office injectables primarily covered by medical benefits. The platform provides HL7 FHIR standard API connectivity, the interoperability standard preferred by the U.S.
Payers Will Start to Feel the Pain of Ad Hoc Implementation of FHIR Servers Many payers, forced to comply with federal requirements of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) server implementation, had little time to strategize data feeds and server utilization.
Increasing data diversity – to include patient-generated and population-based information – would allow us to honestly examine patient outcomes while better controlling for social determinants of health and patientexperiences.
This shifts the physician’s job beyond that of notetaker so that he or she can focus on listening to and examining the patient rather than typing on a laptop. Because CharmHealth leverages Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), Chart Note Assist also can pull in data from other providers, even if they don’t use CharmHealth.
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.
They use “every means that they can” to extract and store data: FHIR where available, proprietary APIs, and other methods provided by each EHR. Particular regions or neighborhoods may call for specific questions about such issues as HIV status or illicit drug use. Integration with the EHR, according to Rau, was difficult.
Read more… Use the Right Tools and Data to Improve the PatientExperience. At the Qualtrics X4 conference, John Lynn interviewed Alpa Vyas at Stanford Health Care and Craig Richardville at Intermountain Health about how to use patient feedback to assess and improve the patientexperience.
In health care, we turn to ANSI health data standards like HL7 and FHIR for data interoperability, and DICOM for moving medical images from place to place. For context, Pantone plays a role in your life you might not realize.
Enhanced PatientExperience: Personalised medicine, enabled by AI, can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. Automated administrative tasks can streamline patient interactions and reduce wait times. AI algorithms can identify new research opportunities and help researchers develop innovative therapies.

Weave added AI-driven voicemail transcriptions to its customer experience platform.
A few of my favorite comments were: “Jim Cramer needs a crash course in FHIR standards” from the wonkier section of peanut gallery. Cramer’s pronouncement led to a tweetstorm where hundreds of tweeters in and outside of health/care talked back and with Cramer. Where is the iPhone listed on Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs?”
Kristen Valdes, Founder and CEO at b.well I think we’re going to see a rush towards people moving into platforming on FHIR using open standards. We’re seeing that the new prior auth rule that just dropped in January that there’s people already running pilots on DaVinci implementation guides which run on FHIR and CQL.
Over time, it will undoubtedly make data more accessible and more useful in improving care coordination and patientexperiences. Use FHIR now: TEFCA does not yet require FHIR, and many QHINs will not offer services in FHIR for some time.
FHIR, HL7). The combination of evolving data lakehouse architectures and powerful generative AI unlocks unprecedented value in loosely structured and unstructured data and, increasingly, machines are much less discriminating between a finely structured FHIR document and a poorly scanned PDF—and the latter may be richer than the former.
Today we have the technology (RESTful) and data (FHIR) standards needed to make this work. Financing solutions also enhance the patientexperience, offering increasingly accessible, personalized, and manageable repayment options that improve satisfaction and payment adherence.
Adding CareCom solutions for terminology management, including cross-mapping healthcare terminologies into standardized data, will empower healthcare stakeholders to assemble and manage more complete and accurate patient information, enabling better care, reduced clinician burden, and optimized patientexperiences.
Progress is being made on that last point as the 21st Century Cures Act aims to address some of these issues by establishing FHIR as the standard format for data sharing, but there is still work to be done to enhance communication both within and across healthcare organizations.
