Hybrid Care Workflows Realized with FHIR: A Unified Platform from Data Collection to Improvement
Hybrid Care Pathways | Open Health Hub Interoperability Platform
Summary
This platform provides a solution that supports hybrid models, integrating care between clinics and homes. It offers a unified system for collecting and exchanging structured patient data using standards like FHIR and IHE.
Details
The platform centers around the 'One FHIR Care Data Hub' and is designed as a comprehensive solution addressing modern hybrid care needs. Key features include collecting and exchanging structured data via FHIR, distributing 'Timed Questionnaires' based on events or milestones, and providing a 'Workflow Builder' for creating workflows across patients and clinicians. Notably, it supports smart reminders, role-based flows to ensure the right information reaches the right person, and is specifically designed for hybrid models (e.g., CVRM) combining home and clinic care. All collected data flows directly into existing EHR or systems, ready for clinical use. Technically, the system is built on industry standards such as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) and IHE SDC (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise Seamless Data Connectivity), ensuring compatibility with any EHR/EMR/portal. This guarantees a seamless flow of data, ensuring care teams always have the correct information regardless of where the care happens. Security is paramount, utilizing enterprise-grade standards alongside FHIR and IHE SDC, incorporating SSO (Single Sign-On) and end-to-end encryption to ensure interoperability, safety, and compliance. The system collects structured data—such as measurements or questionnaires from patients—and exchanges it across multiple systems (EHRs, labs) using these standard protocols. This aims to reduce administrative burden while facilitating faster, smarter care delivery.
