FHIR and the Future of Interoperability

The ability to exchange healthcare information between systems is important to achieve the triple aim – better heath for individuals, better care for populations, and greater cost efficiency in care. In 2012, a new version of the HL7 standard emerged for information exchange: Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®). This webinar will explore how FHIR® facilitates easier exchange of healthcare data between systems in a straightforward yet secure manner.

Evolve from Master Patient Index to Identity Interoperability

The job of matching patient identities is becoming more difficult than ever before because of 5 major trends: 1. External data exchange 2. Patient engagement through portals and personal health record (PHR) apps 3. Analytics for PopHealth and outcome optimization 4. Innovative new applications and devices 5. Hospital consolidation Because of these trends, we can no longer rely solely on “indexing” patients in an MPI to match patient identities. Indexing was successful in the past because MPIs operated in an environment of few software systems that were controlled by one organization.

A massive amount of data and a robust information technology infrastructure will be required to not only develop the online marketplaces, but also actively maintain them moving forward. This paper provides a brief background on insurance exchanges, and explores how big data can be leveraged to support new populations, adapt to new market dynamics, improve quality and comply with new regulations.

2005 Health Information Exchange Survey Report

October 08, 2005

A number of states, regions and communities across the U.S. are mobilizing healthcare information across organizations to improve health and healthcare through multi-stakeholder collaborative efforts. These initiatives involve a broad range of participants, including hospitals and other healthcare providers, physician practices, health plans, employers and other healthcare purchasers, laboratories, pharmacies, public health agencies, state and local governmental agencies, and most importantly, patients. In May 2005, the eHealth Initiative Foundation (eHI) launched its Second Annual Survey of State, Regional and Community-based Health Information Exchange Initiatives and Organizations. Responses from 109 health information exchange (HIE) efforts are included in our analysis of survey results. The survey includes questions about goals, objectives and functionality; organizational and governance models; financing and sustainability; policies for information-sharing; legal issues; and technical strategies. Self-reported information from the 109 initiatives across 45 states and the District of Columbia is a significant representation of the collective voice of the health information exchange community. This report documents the emerging trends, issues and challenges facing this community across the U.S.
