A survey by WEDI reveals that US healthcare providers and payers face significant difficulties meeting the API requirements (CMS-0057-F) set by CMS for data sharing. Many participants cited challenges in funding and strategy development, showing delayed implementation efforts.
The Blue Button 2.0, launched by CMS, is a digital tool enabling patients to securely access their own health record data in real time. It moves beyond static downloads, utilizing FHIR standards for dynamic and secure data sharing, thereby improving the quality of care and supporting proactive patient health management.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) strongly urges the rapid adoption of digital quality measures (dQM) to build a robust digital health infrastructure. This effort aims to maximize the potential of interoperable healthcare data through seamless exchange using FHIR APIs, which is crucial for advancing value-based care in the U.S.
Digital technology can solve data silo issues between hospitals and post-acute care providers. By enabling real-time, bi-directional data exchange and information sharing based on FHIR standards, smooth transitions to appropriate care tailored to the patient's condition can be achieved.
Elimu Informatics announced a new playbook for state Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). This tool helps standardize the sharing of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) data, enabling a comprehensive approach to both medical and social needs.
Elimu Informatics announced a new playbook for state-level Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). This playbook helps standardize the sharing and utilization of SDOH data based on HL7 FHIR standards, supporting a comprehensive approach to both medical and social needs.

The Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative (PHFIC) has released a Playbook designed to assist state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies in implementing FHIR, the standard for electronic health data exchange. The document describes FHIR's overview, its policy context, and steps necessary for successful implementation.
SMART on FHIR technology standardizes data exchange between Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and various healthcare systems, enabling secure access. This allows healthcare organizations to move beyond single-system limitations, gaining a competitive edge through patient-centric services and operational efficiency improvements.
CareEvolution has published detailed API specifications for its proprietary data resource,
HL7 has launched a FHIR Accelerator for device interoperability. This initiative aims to solve data silos and vendor lock-in issues, facilitating AI-driven real-time care delivery.
This article provides practical guides for healthcare providers regarding administrative procedures and management challenges. It highlights specific operational improvements, such as the process of prior authorization using FHIR APIs and the efficiency gains from AI in administrative tasks.
Healthcare organizations face complex and fragmented patient data management. The article advocates for adopting a "clean slate" approach, emphasizing that it is crucial to move away from technical debt by not forcing old standards (like CDA) into new FHIR systems.
As the importance of healthcare data exchange grows, integrating EHR systems (especially Epic) with FHIR is crucial. The article identifies key challenges such as 'data mapping' and 'complex configurations,' emphasizing the need for thorough planning, testing, and security measures to ensure successful implementation.
The Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) is crucial for improving patient care coordination and medical decision-making. It aims to facilitate data exchange for broad purposes, such as giving patients greater control over their personal health information, thereby enhancing overall efficiency and trust across healthcare systems.
