The COVID-19 era made the patients and healthcare providers realize the importance of health data access and seamless exchange of data between providers, patients, and payers. Even though the health data is readily available, there is a big question of whether they reach the people’s hands in a meaningful manner. So here the participation of health IT vendors, providers, and payers is more important for quality healthcare delivery. In this article, we discussed the role of FHIR in 2021 healthcare delivery and how CapMinds will help you in FHIR implementation.

Today the healthcare industry’s started realizing the value of interoperability and leveraging the advanced technologies to improve processes like patient access to health records, prior authorization, patient engagement solutions, and remote patient monitoring to create interoperability solutions.

As the COVID-19 has affected the whole world, the demand for virtual care and easy to use medical applications are started increasing day by day. As we discussed in our previous blog about how FHIR simplifies healthcare application development, here is all about FHIR API – why it is better when compared to other APIs.

In today’s healthcare world, physicians and healthcare professionals are facing huge challenges in taking care of their patients in a better way and in maintaining the healthcare facilities in the best way. Apart from this, the major burden for administrative staff depends on the time-consuming billing tasks and inefficient applications for data collection and management.

FHIR offers vast improvements when compared to the previous standards, and increased interoperability in healthcare systems stood first among all. As we all know that FHIR benefits healthcare providers, payers, and patients, patients are the one who stands to gain the most from interoperability.

Interoperability enables care coordination to deliver a patient’s health information from numerous healthcare providers and specialists. We can’t say that a patient consults a single doctor or a medical practice throughout his/her lifetime. With patients attending different hospitals, the need for interoperability between multiple providers becomes very essential. Smooth transition of healthcare data between those healthcare systems, strengthens the level of care, and reduces the healthcare costs by eliminating repetitive tests and procedures.

In today’s digital world, health data management remains to be one of the ongoing challenges worldwide. The healthcare data transmission has lagged behind the trend due to its complexity and sensitivity. This limits the healthcare providers’ ability to coordinate care, perform data analytics, and cost-effectively integrate IT environments.

In the ever-changing world of technology, the healthcare industries continue to provide new ways with advanced concepts to improve the delivery of quality healthcare. Among those, the concept of health information exchange is to improve healthcare quality, coordination, and cost-effectiveness in their communities. Excited to read more about HIE? This article is for you, here is everything you need to know about healthcare information exchange.

The goal of the ONC interoperability rule is to empower patients with access to their medical data so they can make better health care decisions. In this article, we discussed the ONC interoperability rule and how it means for providers and Healthcare Information Exchange(HIE).

HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (HL7 FHIR) offers a new point of view on medical care interoperability. FHIR consolidates the best highlights of past interoperability standards with the most recent web standards.

Today, improved healthcare interoperability is everyone’s top priority. Both the public and private healthcare organizations are working across the industry to facilitate seamless health data exchange between health IT systems to coordinate care across various health settings nationwide.

Healthcare interoperability is crucial today, as new technological advances started emerging in the healthcare marketplace. Interoperability in healthcare enables different information technology systems to communicate and exchange usable data.

FHIR – a new standard for healthcare data exchange developed by HL7. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources creates a standard for sharing and exchanging clinical records between professionals or organizations with the help of various software which results in cost-efficient care. Here are the proven 7 reason that shows you why FHIR is better and why it matters in today’s healthcare data exchange.

Interoperability challenges have termed a common word in the healthcare industry today. Keeping this in mind, the CMS rule focusing on U.S. healthcare organizations is the perfect way to promote interoperability effectively. And also it is significant for healthcare organizations to adopt APIs as products and API management beyond fast healthcare interoperability resources (FHIR), preparing towards the competitive digital healthcare ecosystem.

As the growing healthcare industry continues to make a drastic shift from fee based care to value based care, data interoperability serves as a key concern for providers to ultimately drive better health outcomes. The on demand information exchange speaks about the two major concepts SMART and FHIR. Here is all about SMART on FHIR.

In today’s healthcare industry the ability to share patient health information through different channels has gained great importance. To do so, healthcare interoperability is one of the most underutilized concepts nowadays. As the healthcare industry is becoming more complex each day, providers are started looking for the best management system to make the work faster and easier. So here interoperability can help in adding extra special value to healthcare. It benefits both the patient and also the healthcare providers with better results. In this article, we have explained the interoperability challenges and its importance to increase productivity.

FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is an essential key component to healthcare data sharing and interoperability in modern health IT. New to FHIR? Here is all you need to know about FHIR challenges, benefits, and the adoption of FHIR for data sharing.

If you are new to HL7, this guide to HL7 interface helps you to explore the evolution of HL7 and about HL7 interface, its advanced categories to easily understand the concepts of HL7 on a deeper level.

FHIR is an interoperability standard developed to exchange healthcare data and information electronically by HL7 — an international organization founded in 1987, dedicated to developing standards for electronic health information sharing. The main purpose behind the development is to address the growing digitization of the healthcare industry and the requirement to have the patient records easily accessible, available, and understandable. In this article, we discuss the need for FHIR and its implementation challenges.

In today’s healthcare industry everyone is looking for a smarter and safer way for healthcare information exchange. And this has been a primary goal for all healthcare providers. This quick data exchange is not only crucial for healthcare providers, but it’s also necessary for software developers and IT professionals tasked with integrating software applications. New to FHIR? Then, this article is for you. We have put together the basics of FHIR and the implementation concepts with a step by step to step guide to dig deeper into FHIR.
