Healthcare Data Exchange Mechanism: From NPI Registry to FHIR Interoperability

Details

This page provides provider information for ADAM M STRITTMATTER DO (NPI: 1962700229) registered on the NPPES NPI Registry. Crucially, this information goes beyond mere contact and credentialing details by indicating specific technical interoperability capabilities. The most notable section is 'Health Information Exchange.' It lists multiple endpoints suggesting data exchange capability via an Electronic Health Record (EHR). Specifically, a 'FHIR URL' (`https://fhir.ssmhc.com/fhir/api/FHIR/DSTU2/`) is provided, indicating that API linkage using the FHIR standard (specifically DSTU2 version) is possible. Furthermore, items like 'Direct Messaging Address' and 'FHIR API CCD' confirm that direct data exchange is designed for both messaging and structured clinical data formats (CCD). This information is highly relevant to solving standardized information sharing challenges in Japanese healthcare settings, serving as a critical reference point for implementing advanced digital healthcare such as regional collaboration or telemedicine. The registry's authority, being managed by the U.S. government (CMS), lends it high reliability. The listing also confirms multiple practice locations with dedicated phone and fax numbers.
