Dr. Viola Henke of DMI points out the financial difficulties and structural challenges facing German hospitals. She states that utilizing new funding mechanisms (KHTF) requires an integrated approach to digitalization, focusing on interoperability and data strategy, rather than mere system implementation.
Electronic Health Record (EHR) integration is a foundational requirement for modern healthcare systems. By connecting various platforms used by hospitals and clinics, it ensures that patient data flows securely and accurately, thereby improving clinical decision-making and operational efficiency.
The NPPES NPI Registry has published the profile details for healthcare provider DON TIANMU LI MD / PhD. This record includes his individual National Provider Identifier (NPI), multiple practice locations, and detailed API endpoints for electronic health information exchange.
Healthcare providers face the major challenge of data siloing from multiple Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Experts emphasize that utilizing standardized APIs (especially those based on FHIR) and regional Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) are essential to achieve comprehensive and safe healthcare delivery.
Scott Rossignol et al. will discuss the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) final rule regarding interoperability and prior authorization at HIMSS 2026. The focus is on how payers and providers must transform data exchange and electronic decision-making processes.
The German Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) is promoting the development of an 'intersectoral FHIR data model' with Tiplu GmbH. This aims to standardize and improve interoperability of healthcare data across sectors within the electronic patient record (ePA), facilitating better treatment quality and research utilization.
Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) has updated its pre-screening guidelines for cancer drug use, providing the data structure for 'Genetic Testing Organizations' in FHIR format. This aims to ensure consistency and standardization when handling genomic information in clinical settings.
HHS/ONC/CMS will host a webinar providing an overview of the suggested Quality Data Collection and Reporting (QCDR) measure development and evaluation processes. The session will review available resources for developing new or updating existing measures.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) has presented a '333' blueprint to advance Taiwan's digital healthcare. This aims to institutionalize data governance, security, and AI usage across three major areas, enhancing international competitiveness.
Medical device teams recognize that integration with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems is as critical as performance and accuracy. Consequently, enterprise-grade integration services, which ensure reliable data exchange, have become the decisive factor in medical device adoption.
The Australian Medical Association (AMA) argues that government legislation is necessary to break down silos in digital health and mandate data sharing among software providers.
This article explores how implementing microservices architecture using the HL7 FHIR standard can solve persistent problems in healthcare information systems, such as data fragmentation and inefficient workflows. This approach enables the realization of patient-centered care that is highly scalable and resilient.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is transitioning from electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) to FHIR-based digital quality measures (dQMs). This shift aims to improve interoperability and data sharing, reducing reporting burdens for providers while supporting automated, real-time quality insights.
This article addresses the persistent hurdle of achieving true interoperability in healthcare IT, explaining how combining the HL7 FHIR standard with microservices architecture provides a solution. This combination enables the creation of systems that are scalable and resilient enough to support patient-centered care.
Curatrix has ranked U.S. healthcare software development companies based on advanced criteria. Top-ranked firms demonstrate deep expertise in standards like FHIR and HL7, offering advanced solutions utilizing AI/ML.
As national interoperability frameworks advance, 'geofencing' is insufficient. When a patient with a serious illness (e.g., cancer) relocates to another state, the continuity and coordination of their care may be compromised because critical records and test results are unlikely to follow them seamlessly.
This document provides an overview of the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) and its implementation guide for India's Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). It emphasizes data exchange and interoperability, detailing how various clinical artifacts and resource profiles are used for practical adoption.
