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.
Cerner developed 'HealtheInsights,' a Smart on FHIR application designed to access patient data regardless of the underlying Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. The goal is to enable clinicians to access necessary information across diverse EMR environments for better decision-making.
The Sequoia Project designated eClinicalWorks as the eighth Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) within the TEFCA community under ASTP. This expands the national interoperability network and strengthens the foundation for health information sharing.
