While ONC has made significant progress toward achieving national health interoperability, continued interagency collaboration and public-private partnerships are needed to fully enable digital health, according to an article published by the National Academy of Medicine. “Through the work of ONC, data and interoperability standards have grown increasingly sophisticated over the past ten years,” the authors…
Interoperability in healthcare, it would seem, is at an important inflection point. Rules around data exchange have been around for years, and regulate what patient information gets shared between payers, providers and the patients themselves. There are also standards around how that information is shared, and the forms it can take. But the transition to…
For Morgan Honea, CEO of CORHIO (a Contexture organization), the value of interoperability between healthcare and dental settings revealed itself during his earlier career running federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). “I’ve spent most of my career integrating primary, oral, and behavioral healthcare in a service delivery setting,” Honea told EHRIntelligence in an interview. “There are so many medical…
Data standards and community stewardship are critical elements for social determinants of health (SDOH) data exchange, according to Greg Bloom, strategic advisor on community resources and engagement for the Gravity Project, a community-led HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Accelerator. The Gravity Project worked with healthcare stakeholders such as health IT vendors, payers, providers, philanthropies,…

In order to ensure accountable care organization (ACO) and patient experience success, providers must collaborate across the continuum of care, suggested a recent study out of the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business. “We found that if an ACO wants to be successful, it needs representation across all parts of a patient’s continuum of care,”…
Researchers called for the creation of a medical device data standards development organization to support healthcare interoperability. The healthcare industry needs better data standards to support medical device interoperability, according to an article published in JAMA Health Forum. The authors noted that much of the existing infrastructure for healthcare interoperability has focused on EHRs. ONC mandated the adoption…
Accountable care organization (ACO) success depends in part on a broad network of health information exchange (HIE) partners to effectively coordinate care. Our study illustrates that although ACO participation broadens HIE networks, the effects accrue differently across markets with varying levels of ACO penetration. ACO hospitals in high–ACO penetration markets increase their HIE network breadth…
In today’s world of big data, the ability to collect, store, analyze, and move data from one place to another has become essential to business operations. Unlimited variables exist within the creation of data and it gets more complicated by storing and merging. No surprise to anyone, having access to quality, accurate, consistent, and secure data…
Download Slides Accelerated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the digital transformation in health care is upon us. As we all look to rapidly adopt new technologies, deep integrations and interoperability become key components to help ensure seamless data exchange between patient applications and EHR systems.
