HeartSciences, an AI-driven healthcare IT company specializing in electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) technology, announced that its platform, MyoVista Insightsโข, has received certification from the Epic Toolbox for the ECG management system category. This enhances system integration within clinical workflows.
Successfully integrating AI medical coding software with EHR systems (like Epic, Cerner) requires more than simple connection. By utilizing open standards like FHIR and HL7 to ingest structured clinical data, organizations can achieve high accuracy and efficient revenue cycle management.
This article presents a practical architecture demonstrating how to extract clinical and operational data from Epic EHR's FHIR format. It details using .NET and Azure Data Factory (ADF) to process the data into near real-time dashboards viewable via Power BI, specifically addressing API rate limit constraints.
CMS proposed making FHIR a new HIPAA standard for prior authorization. The success of this regulation depends heavily on its adoption and implementation by major EHR vendors like Epic.
This article analyzes the administrative overhead and data interoperability challenges within the US healthcare industry. It emphasizes that successful AI implementation requires addressing fundamental workflow issues and technical constraints, such as FHIR compatibility, rather than merely selecting a model.
Centene has expanded its cloud-based Population-Health platform, HealtheIntent, to enhance care coordination for complex multi-morbid patients (Medicaid/Medicare). By integrating clinical and administrative data in near real-time, the platform addresses structural issues like information fragmentation and rising costs.
Onward has launched a bi-directional integration connecting its patient transportation platform directly to Electronic Health Records (EHRs) using the SMART on FHIR standard. This allows structured, real-time transport data to flow into the EHR and patient context to flow back, eliminating manual data entry burdens for case managers.
This article explains how to integrate with Epic EHR, a major system in healthcare IT. Driven by regulations like the 21st Century Cures Act and ONC guidelines, API-based data access is crucial, making integration using the FHIR standard particularly important.
mock.health has provided a synthetic sandbox environment matching the Epic FHIR structure used by Stanford Health Care. This allows developers to conduct integration testing in an environment closely resembling production.
The information blocking regulation is having a generally positive, albeit unpredictable, net effect on the industry. This pressure has prompted major EHR vendors like Epic and eClinicalWorks to accelerate the provision of FHIR APIs with broad functionality, going beyond mere compliance.
The article discusses the competitive landscape and standardization efforts surrounding major systems of record like Epic Systems. Key focus areas include CMS's addition of a new category for electronic prior authorization (Prior Auth), its impact on FHIR/X12 standards, and the connection to antitrust law.
The University of Oklahoma provides a mechanism using an FHIR interface between Epic and REDCap to transfer specified patient data (such as allergies, clinical notes, etc.) into REDCap. Researchers can utilize this function to collect and analyze diverse clinical data.
Epic and Labcorp have expanded their collaboration, making Labcorp's full diagnostic test menu available on Epic's EHR platform, Aura. This allows clinicians to easily order a wide variety of tests directly within their workflow, leading to faster and more accurate patient care.
This monthly review summarizes several key developments concerning electronic health records and data sharing in the US. Key regulatory trends include new proposed rules from CMS regarding drug prior authorization, and legal disputes surrounding the definition of Health Information Networks (HINs), focusing heavily on interoperability issues.
Kriv AI deploys a FHIR R4 native patient engagement platform on AWS HealthLake and Bedrock in eight weeks. This system addresses federal interoperability mandates, such as the ONC Cures Act and CMS-0057-F, supporting care gap closure for IDNs, payers, and ACOs.
This article introduces a course package designed for mastering FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) fundamentals, extending through integration with real-world Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems like Epic and Cerner. Participants will learn core FHIR concepts, understand the SMART on FHIR specification, and receive practical US EHR integration guides.
Hauer Power offers HIPAA and GDPR compliant healthcare software engineering from Poland. Utilizing standards like FHIR R4 and HL7 v2, the company specializes in building systems for US and EU healthcare companies, including EHR integrations, patient portals, and telemedicine platforms.
Many healthcare organizations mistakenly assume that the adoption of FHIR APIs signifies a standardized system integration process. However, vendors exhibit variations in API architecture and implementation. This guide compares major EHR platforms (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth) to clarify true interoperability challenges and necessary evaluation criteria.
A service from EasyPA, Inc converts healthcare messages in the HL7v2 format into FHIR R4 JSON bundles in real-time. This allows organizations to modernize interoperability workflows without needing complex integration engines.
