CDC has published a comparison detailing the differences in major medical data elements between version 1.0.0 and the current build. The report indicates that significant updates, including breaking changes, have occurred across multiple standards such as LOINC and SNOMED CT.
AnyBio and Medplum announced a joint reference architecture for biosignal-driven care programs. This integration provides an end-to-end deployable stack, from wearable devices to clinician workspaces, built over standard specifications.
AnyBio, a biosignal infrastructure platform, and Medplum, an open-source FHIR-native developer platform, announced a joint reference architecture for biosignal-driven care programs. This integration enables the deployment of end-to-end systems based on standards, from wearable devices to clinician workspaces.
The 'Browse Code Systems' page, provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), offers comprehensive functionality for referencing and managing diverse medical code systems. Users can search and verify information related to diseases, drugs, and procedures based on various standard specifications such as UMLS and LOINC.
This article introduces expertise in developing complex healthcare integration systems for highly regulated areas like FHIR R4 and TEFCA QHIN connectivity. The focus is on building robust audit trails, ensuring reproducibility of HEDIS measurement pipelines, and maintaining HIPAA compliance.
An EHR partner built a robust FHIR R4 platform to address data exchange challenges across multiple healthcare networks. This achieved comprehensive resource coverage and implemented strict security measures, meeting complex industry requirements.
The author used an open-source health agent, 'Tula,' to extract their full medical history from their hospital (Beverly Hospital). This demonstrated that data access based on FHIR standards is possible through a simple text message and authentication process, without needing API integration or complex procedures.
West Coast Informatics appointed Regis Charlot, an expert in healthcare data standardization and semantic interoperability, to its board of directors. This move responds to the growing demand for clinical data infrastructure capable of supporting artificial intelligence applications, highlighting the industry's increasing focus on data structuring.
This article compares FHIR and custom REST APIs regarding their roles in exchanging risk adjustment data within the healthcare sector. It explains that APIs are foundational to system integration, enabling real-time data exchange and moving beyond traditional batch processing or manual workflows.
While US law grants patients the right to access medical records (via HIPAA/21st Century Cures Act), data retrieved through FHIR APIs remains limited. The key challenge is not merely providing data, but ensuring its 'trustworthiness' and 'provenance.'
West Coast Informatics announced the launch of AutomapAI™, a platform that transforms fragmented clinical data into standards-aligned, AI-ready assets. The tool automatically performs semantic normalization on local codes and unstructured text, enabling healthcare organizations to reduce integration costs and establish advanced analytical foundations.
Healthcare organizations face challenges due to inconsistent terminology used for diagnoses and tests. A FHIR Terminology Server addresses this interoperability hurdle by providing standardized vocabularies like SNOMED CT and LOINC through a single API.
This service provides synthetic (dummy) patient data conforming to multiple standards, including FHIR R4 and HL7 v2.4. This enables the testing and integration validation of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and interface engines without accessing real patient information.
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.
HeyDonto AI Technology announced the close of a seed funding round at a $200 million valuation, aiming to accelerate the deployment of 'Conduit,' a standards-based interoperability platform connecting dental systems to the broader healthcare ecosystem. The platform aims to bridge the structural gap of integrating dental data into the national health information infrastructure.
This article introduces Kodjin, an analytics platform designed for the healthcare industry undergoing a profound data revolution. Built on HL7 FHIR standards, it integrates diverse medical data to provide actionable clinical and operational insights.
FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standardizes data sharing between lab systems and hospitals/research institutions, eliminating the need for custom interfaces. This ensures that lab data can follow patients and be used consistently across entire medical records.
West Coast Informatics announced major enhancements to its FHIR-native terminology platform, TermHub, and the launch of Open TermHub. This aims to simplify access and deployment of clinical terminologies like SNOMED CT and LOINC, supporting large-scale interoperability.
