Summary
In the US healthcare IT environment, data capture processes—such as patient intake or clinical trial data collection—are undergoing significant changes. Selecting a form builder utilizing FHIR is crucial, requiring technical decisions regarding whether to use commercial or open-source solutions.
Details
The utilization of 'Medical Form Builders' leveraging FHIR format is gaining attention in the development trends of US Electronic Health Records (EHRs). This tool serves a role beyond simple EHR functions, supporting diverse data input processes at the point of care, such as patient intake and clinical trial data collection. As the use of standardized datasets like the US Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) becomes necessary, FHIR form builders are becoming essential. Furthermore, due to changes in the US healthcare system, it is necessary to handle more complex workflows, including those related to ambulatory care and the completion status of PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures) under bundled payment programs. When development teams or vendors consider an FHIR form builder, the technical decision between adopting commercial versus open-source solutions is critically important. This is not merely a functional comparison but a major decision affecting overall system scalability and compliance (e.g., Medicare/Medicaid workflows). These trends reflect the standardization and increasing complexity of US healthcare IT, offering perspectives relevant to data linkage and operational efficiency challenges faced by Japanese healthcare IT. Building flexible and secure data collection infrastructure using FHIR is key.
