This article introduces cloud healthcare services from AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), explaining the data processing workflow using standards like FHIR. It demonstrates the potential for AI-driven clinical decision support through structuring and analyzing electronic health records.
Google has announced 'Kotlin FHIR,' an open-source library. This tool enables the development of applications based on the FHIR standard to run simultaneously across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Web.
The author built a data export and processing API using Go, leveraging FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). Recognizing that standard FHIR APIs struggle with retrieving comprehensive data or facilitating bulk analysis for patients with extensive medical histories, the solution introduces an intermediate layer to ensure fast and reliable data access.
To address the siloed nature of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), SMART on FHIR provides an authorization and app launch framework atop FHIR APIs, enabling secure integration of third-party applications. This allows healthcare organizations to accelerate innovation and meet regulatory compliance.
Brazil's ANVISA signed a contract for the electronic Common Technical Document (e-CTD). This enables drug applications using formats utilized by major global regulatory agencies, which is expected to accelerate technical analysis.
Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) in the US faces significant revenue leakage (estimated at $125 billion annually) due to inefficiencies. To address this, RCM systems must evolve into platform-based, data-driven, and interoperable models that seamlessly connect clinical, financial, and payer ecosystems.
Nonprofit digital health organization Data4Life and South Korea's federated research platform EvidNet announced a strategic partnership. They aim to co-develop a global infrastructure for generating privacy-preserving real-world evidence (RWE) across national borders.
The complexity and interoperability requirements of healthcare data have grown over the past decade, overwhelming legacy software systems. Specifically, public health agencies are being pushed to transition from older standards like HL7 V2 and CDA to FHIR, which is essential for standardizing data exchange and improving analytical capabilities.
gematik GmbH released version 1.0.5-2 of TI Terminology, based on FHIR 4.0.1. This version adds ePA-specific Value Sets and Code Systems, enabling broader use and improved data management capabilities.
This article introduces an MCP server that automatically generates Ballerina packages and templates based on FHIR specifications. Developers can use this tool to efficiently build systems using external FHIR specifications.
Infinitus has released the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, providing a unified framework for AI agents to safely and at scale link with healthcare systems. This aims to reduce traditional data fragmentation and manual workload, thereby improving speed of medical decision-making.
This article outlines a learning approach to simulate Electronic Health Record (EHR) setup and utilization within the Cerner environment using SMART on FHIR. Participants aim to develop five applications, mastering concepts like OAuth2 flows and FHIR API specifications.
Catalonia has deployed a new interoperability platform to integrate diagnostic images and medical records generated in both public and private facilities into electronic health records. This aims to ensure continuous care and efficient resource management.
Infinitus Systems announced the release of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This technology aims to remove communication barriers between artificial intelligence and healthcare systems, thereby reducing administrative burdens caused by fragmented data transmission.
Te Whatu Ora (New Zealand) has delayed the Shared Digital Health Record (SDHR) rollout to mid-2026. Meanwhile, the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) has updated and expanded training courses for My Health Record's transition to FHIR standards.
This study proposes a semi-automatic method to map Austria's national drug terminology to the international standard, RxNorm Extension (RxN/E). This enables cross-regional interoperability and data standardization for secondary use.
Electronic health record giant Epic announced new app developer tools and interoperability features designed to simplify data sharing. Key highlights include the nationwide rollout of MyChart Central, allowing patients unified access to their medical records, and support for Bluetooth sensors.
