How FHIR and HIE Integration Enables Next-Generation Healthcare Data Exchange
FHIR Interoperability For HIE Healthcare Information Exchange - Helixbeat Helixbeat
FHIR is recognized as a next-generation standard for electronic health data exchange.
Summary
Integration of the FHIR standard with Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) is advancing to enable seamless data sharing among diverse entities, including EHRs, payers, and patients. This establishes a system in the US that can acquire and share specific clinical information in real time while meeting regulatory requirements.
Details
This article discusses the importance of data sharing in Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and the FHIR standard as its foundational technology. FHIR is a next-generation standard utilizing web technologies like RESTful APIs and JSON, allowing for flexible data retrieval at the 'resource' level, surpassing older standards like HL7 v2. In the US, regulations such as the ONC Health IT Certification Program and the 21st Century Cures Act promote the use of FHIR APIs. HIEs function as secure network hubs, advancing data sharing through frameworks like TEFCA, with future expectations for using USCDI Version 3 or later. This integration allows specific clinical elements (e.g., immunization records, lab results) to be retrieved in real time via FHIR APIs from an EHR and shared with participating providers. This achieves not merely record exchange but enhanced efficiency in data access and utilization. (Note: While the article promotes a specific platform, AERIS, its core technical discussion focuses on the potential of FHIR for breaking down data silos.)
