The Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) conducted a large-scale, distributed analysis using data from various university hospitals to detect risks associated with polypharmacy. Researchers developed an ETL pipeline based on HL7 FHIR standards and employed decentralized statistical methods to integrate and analyze vast clinical datasets from multiple institutions.
Leading healthcare IT solutions provider Mindbowser announced its membership in HIMSS. This move strengthens its network with global healthcare leaders and innovators, focusing on improving data exchange and connectivity.
The eHealth Infrastructure has published the specification for a new extension, "ehealth-usage," based on FHIR R4. This allows for standardizing the purpose and context of data use in clinical settings, thereby enhancing interoperability.
eHealth Infrastructure has released a specification (OperationDefinition) for transforming DK-HL7 Personal Health Monitoring Report (PHMR) XML documents into FHIR Observation resources. This enables the standardized handling of personal health monitoring data within electronic medical records.
The AJ FHIR Platform provides an open-source, integrated infrastructure compliant with HL7 FHIR R4/R5 standards. It offers multiple independent functionsโincluding authentication, consent management, and EHR data accessโto achieve secure healthcare interoperability.
Tessera, a modular clinical platform developed for Canadian healthcare, operates alongside existing Electronic Medical Records (EMR/EHR) to support specialized registries and disease management. By adopting FHIR-native data structures, it enables unified management of multiple programs and services.
When healthcare organizations use generative AI for clinical data analysis and workflow automation, risks like ePHI leakage and hallucination exist. This article introduces a multi-layered AWS technical architecture that incorporates HIPAA compliance to address these risks.
InterSystems is hosting a technical webinar detailing how AI agents can access FHIR data in targeted ways, and the role of MCP in bridging Generative AI (GenAI) with data sources. The session will also cover integrating existing repositories into new use cases.
To operationalize AI healthcare products, 'interoperability quality' is essential beyond mere model development. Compliance with standards like HL7 v2 and FHIR ensures data pipeline reliability, which determines success in enterprise deployment.
Integrating AI agents into Electronic Health Records (EHR) requires more than just data connectivity (FHIR API). The article outlines six essential architectural layersโincluding identity, authorization, and audit trailsโthat must be considered for successful clinical deployment.
The 'FHIR Fundamentals Course,' jointly organized by HL7 and AeHIN, successfully concluded in May 2026. Ninety-seven participants from 16 countries attended the course, contributing to foundational knowledge of health information exchange across the Asia-Pacific region.
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.
CMS underwent a major reorganization to establish the Office of Health Technology and Products (OHTP). This move effectively ends internal agency conflicts regarding standards, consolidating API-based data exchange and policy development under one command structure.
The Danish eHealth Infrastructure has published an OperationDefinition for 'Execute careplans by patient' based on FHIR. This feature enables the management and execution of individualized treatment plans by linking multiple resources such as EpisodeOfCare, PlanDefinition, CarePlan, and ServiceRequest.
eHealth Infrastructure has released an OperationDefinition providing statistical data on CarePlan status changes. This allows quantitative tracking of time spent and occurrences within various statuses, such as 'draft,' 'active,' and 'completed,' grouped by specific PlanDefinitions.
UNMIRI has published an open-source FHIR Genomics R4 schema for cross-vendor Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. Additionally, the company released research on a failure mode in how clinical AI tools retrieve genomic evidence, highlighting issues with standard similarity comparisons.
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.
The Danish eHealth Infrastructure has released the 'upload-QFDD' operation definition, a feature built on FHIR standards. This specification details how to ingest Questionnaire Form Definition Documents (QFDD) into the system.
The CMS Health Tech Ecosystem and TEFCA are advancing healthcare data exchange through complementary approaches, contributing to improved interoperability in the medical field. Both initiatives aim for patient-centric data sharing and efficient care processes by standardizing FHIR APIs and electronic prescriptions.
