Australian Digital Health: Interoperability Solutions Based on FHIR Standards

Details

KRE8 My Health is an Australian digital health company focused on developing interoperability solutions grounded in the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard. The company actively participates in standardization processes like the 'Sparked' community, contributing to specifications such as AU Core and AUCDI. The services offered are diverse. First, through the 'Smart Health Exchange' platform, it enables health products and providers to share patient data securely via links using FHIR and SMART on FHIR, eliminating the need for a full re-architecture of existing systems. Additionally, 'My Health Match' is an FHIR-enabled Patient Summary Viewer compliant with the AU Patient Summary specification. This allows patients to securely access, manage, and share their health records with trusted providers and caregivers. A separate technology arm, 'KRE8 Health,' provides various interoperability capabilities—such as SMART on FHIR launches into EHRs or a FHIR facade over legacy systems—allowing applications to leverage the existing framework without building from scratch. These efforts treat interoperability not just as a technical challenge but as a design problem, focusing on the intersection of open standards and clinical workflow. KRE8 My Health aims to support Australia's connected health future.
