Intermountain Healthcare has published the 'HSPC Service Delivery Location Condition' value set, based on FHIR v1.9.0. This value set contains a list of codes describing how data was generated.
The US federal government is mandating the use of FHIR through multiple regulations (such as the Cures Act) starting in 2026. These mandates require patient access APIs and data exchange, necessitating large-scale system overhauls and compliance efforts from healthcare organizations and IT vendors.
Multiple regulations regarding Medicare Advantage (MA) and healthcare data exchange have been announced in the US. Specifically, the implementation of four critical FHIR APIs is required by 2027, indicating progress in data standardization and security enhancement.
In the US, institutions like CMS and ONC are building interoperability using a dual approach: establishing national trust (TEFCA) alongside an API-centric exchange structure (FHIR). This allows patients single sign-on access to all data and integrates AI for clinical efficiency.
CMS published an API architecture for the ACCESS Model, which includes four FHIR operations ($check-eligibility, $align, $report-data, $unalign) to track care episode lifecycles. The author argues that while the technical design is sound, the true challenge lies not in the APIs themselves but in establishing necessary partnership structures.
SMART on FHIR is an open standard framework embedded within Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, enabling third-party applications to access patient data securely and in a standardized way. This approach moves beyond complex, vendor-specific integrations, accelerating development and deployment across healthcare IT.
The healthcare industry is adopting 'Bulk FHIR' as a method to analyze clinical data efficiently and at scale. This allows providers and payers to extract vast datasets, stream them into analytics platforms, thereby enhancing population-level analysis and interoperability.
Vorroは、医療データの相互運用性の中核となるFHIRに対応したデータ検証サービスを提供している。このサービスにより、企業は自社のデータをFHIR形式に適合させ、その価値を最大限に引き出すことができる。
マイクロソフトは、ウェアラブルや電子カルテなどのデータを集約し、AIで「一貫した健康ストーリー」を提示する専用サービス「Copilot Health」を立ち上げた。これはOpenAIやAnthropicなどと並ぶ、消費者向けヘルスケアAIの主要な参入となる。
The digital transformation of healthcare requires 'interoperability' as its foundational technology. The article outlines the necessity of utilizing standards like FHIR and adopting a data-sharing culture, driven by new frameworks from CMS.
Drummond Group has launched the 'ONC Compliance Learning Series,' a three-month educational program aimed at health IT developers. The program helps development teams build foundational knowledge and readiness before undergoing formal ONC certification testing.
HealthEx has partnered with Microsoft to enable the integration of individuals' comprehensive personal health records into Copilot Health, an AI-driven experience. This allows users to securely manage their medical information and gain personalized insights.
Datalite offers an EDI-to-FHIR converter via the AWS Marketplace. This tool enables data conversion from Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) format to FHIR format, facilitating data exchange for enterprise transactions. Users can optionally ingest the converted data into AWS Healthlake or download it in FHIR format.
Databricks demonstrated an AI agent designed for real-time hospital operations that integrates FHIR data.
Aquila has launched a healthcare data integration platform designed for cross-jurisdictional epidemiological and population health tracking. The company aims to address the US data exchange challenge, where an ONC report noted that nearly 30% of hospitals still struggle with effective data sharing.
Sheppard's reported on attending the 2026 ViVE Conference, noting that while AI offers immense potential in healthcare, significant hurdles remain, including data interoperability challenges and complex issues surrounding autonomous AI liability.
The Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative (PHFIC) has released the Public Health FHIR Playbook, designed to help state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies successfully implement FHIR, a standard for electronic health data exchange. The playbook describes FHIR, its policy context, and steps necessary for successful implementation at public health agencies.
Discussions at HIMSS 2026 revealed significant progress in healthcare data exchange but noted that full value realization remains challenging. Key focus areas include the critical role of pharmacists and the transformative impact of AI on development capabilities.
Clover Health has leveraged the FHIR (USCDI v3) standard to enable real-time, patient-directed access to clinical and claims data on the Kno2 platform. This participation demonstrates alignment with CMS interoperability initiatives and includes planned demonstrations at HIMSS 2026.
b.well and Samsung Electronics announced an integration that utilizes Galaxy smartphones as a centralized hub for patient health records. This addresses the CMS-led 'Kill the Clipboard' initiative, aiming to transform healthcare by automating data transfer into electronic medical records.
