This article provides profile information for the US healthcare provider, DAWN MARIE JOHNS, from the NPPES NPI Registry. She is registered as a Nurse Practitioner (RN, BSN, NP-C) with multiple practice locations. Notably, the inclusion of an FHIR URL suggests potential integration with electronic health record systems.
Patient logistics platform VectorCare announced the launch of its Open API 2.0 and a strategic integration with Bambi, an NEMT platform. This allows clinicians to order transportation directly from their EHR, creating seamless data exchange and aiming to accelerate patient care.
This study developed and validated bidirectional data transformation rules between FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) and OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) using the open-source platform TermX. This demonstrates a methodology supporting the secondary use of real-world health data within a patient-centered digital health paradigm.
FAH submitted comments to CMS regarding the draft proposal to transition from electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) to Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based digital quality measures (dQMs). The organization stressed that this major redesign of hospital reporting infrastructure requires a careful and phased implementation.
The core challenge in healthcare data is that clinical and administrative data remain separated across different systems, speaking different digital languages. Multiple mandates, such as CMS requiring FHIR APIs and the enforcement against information blocking, are driving integration. However, providers must guard against replacing two existing data silos with several new ones.
Small medical practices struggle to share information as patients move between multiple facilities. This article points out the problems of traditional HIEs and faxing, explaining how structured data exchange becomes possible using FHIR and SMART on FHIR.
InterSystems has opened registration for its second cohort course focused on developing FHIR applications using Python. The program is designed for developers aiming to acquire real-world interoperability skills and build SMART on FHIR applications.
This technical guide is written for developers integrating with Electronic Health Records (EHRs). It provides practical advice on navigating complex standards like FHIR and HL7 v2, detailing the 'hybrid reality' of integration and specific pitfalls in implementing SMART on FHIR authentication.
CMS unveiled the 'CMS Interoperability Framework' for a new health data ecosystem, promoting data exchange using common, secure standards. Furthermore, HHS announced tougher regulations against information blocking, imposing penalties on violators.
A Standards and Regulatory Frameworks Workgroup has developed an action plan to enhance interoperability between patient applications (apps) and Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The plan recommends utilizing FHIR APIs, aiming for standardized data exchange that includes write access for observation data and questionnaires.
Epic has released 12 new FHIR APIs to address the complex data integration challenges in radiation oncology. This effort supports the CodeX Exchange of Radiotherapy Summaries Implementation Guide, marking a shift from traditional HL7v2 interfaces.
WestFax announced the launch of WestFax Comprehend, an AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) platform designed to automate medical document intake, classification, data extraction, and routing. This allows healthcare organizations to leverage unstructured medical data without replacing existing infrastructure.
The 'Boston FHIR' group, gathering healthcare professionals and developers in Boston, is a community focused on defining and creating the future of health technology centered around HL7 FHIR. They have consistently shared the latest industry trends through large-scale events like SMART and Da Vinci.
MHK offers an interoperability platform built on FHIR-native APIs to meet CMS regulatory requirements. This standardizes the prior authorization process between providers and payers, enabling efficient and auditable data exchange.
