A fast-growing US dental network faced challenges integrating its Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management System (PMS). This project successfully implemented real-time, secure data synchronization between both systems using the HL7 FHIR standard.
This article explains how to efficiently delete large volumes of data from a FHIR store using the Google Cloud Cloud Healthcare API. Users can bulk-delete multiple FHIR resources based on specific criteria (such as resource type or last updated time), which is useful for data lifecycle management and cost reduction.
OpenAI and Anthropic are shifting healthcare AI from general chat to infrastructure within existing systems. They utilize connectors and FHIR standards to embed workflows while maintaining compliance with regulations like HIPAA.
By combining its HealthKit ecosystem with the FHIR R4 standard, Apple is transforming personal mobile devices into secure, longitudinal hubs for medical data, fundamentally changing how health information is exchanged. This signals a shift from traditional provider-centric, siloed models toward a decentralized, patient-mediated paradigm.
The World Health Organization (WHO) released version 0.2.0 of the 'Immunization Implementation Guide' based on FHIR standards. The guide includes test data for various scenarios, but explicitly states that this material is not intended for formal conformance determination or authoritative use.
The Australian Digital Health Agency is developing and testing a new FHIR-based directory for healthcare providers. This aims to establish the foundation for interoperability across the entire health system by providing near real-time information about providers' services from a single national access point.
Clinical research organizations are competing not only on scientific excellence but also on data reliability and speed of decision-making. Consequently, implementing a 'Clinical Data Platform'βwhich integrates architecture and governance beyond mere data centralizationβhas become a strategic priority.
This service provides HIPAA-compliant clinical data exchange solutions, enabling seamless integration with major EHR systems like Epic and Cerner. They offer comprehensive interoperability services covering standards from HL7 v2/v3 up to FHIR R4.
Hospitals on FHIR, in collaboration with HL7 Europe and the XIA Project, launched a free webinar series focused on 'Implementing the EU Lab Report.' The series provides practical knowledge regarding compliance with the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and emphasizes the critical role of medical terminologies for semantic interoperability.
Form.io, a data management platform, partnered with TESCHGlobal, which possesses deep healthcare domain knowledge. This collaboration aims to deliver advanced digital transformation solutions compliant with the FHIR standard, improving development efficiency and compliance.
This study conducted qualitative interviews with 13 clinicians using a prototype of 'DEAN,' an EHR-integrated decision aid app. The findings revealed that key needs include streamlined functionality to reduce workflow burden, improved clinician skills for effective use, and reliable suggestion of pre-vetted decision aids.
Healthcare organizations rely heavily on APIs for diverse services like EHRs and telemedicine, but this complex connectivity creates new attack surfaces. Continuous assessment of API security is needed not just as a technical issue, but as a governance concern.
Nitid specializes in developing custom applications that integrate seamlessly into existing Electronic Health Records (EHR). This helps clinicians make faster, better-informed decisions by providing real-time data visualization and algorithm-based recommendations.
Anthropic announced 'Claude for Health,' a suite of conversational AI tools designed for healthcare providers, payers, and patients. This follows the announcement by OpenAI's ChatGPT health features, aiming to facilitate various uses including data linkage and administrative support.
Lifebit has established a process for converting data from legacy EHR warehouses, which have complex structures, into the FHIR standard. This enables the processing of vast clinical datasets in hours while maintaining high data integrity at scale.
The ASTP/ONC, under HHS, announced the "HTI-5 Proposed Rule" on January 27, 2026. This rule aims to streamline existing regulations regarding data exchange and use, promoting innovation by offering flexibility to developers and providers.
Leavitt Partners explains how healthcare organizations can modernize quality reporting using standardized, real-time data connections. Findings suggest that nearly half of todayβs priority quality measures may already be reportable using existing FHIR-based APIs and USCDI v3 data.
The NIH provides a browsing function for code systems, offering comprehensive standardized terminology and classifications for medical information. Users can search by specific codes or terms and confirm their relevance to modern standards like FHIR.
The U.S. healthcare system is failing due to data fragmentation. Experts argue that this ability to share data must be treated as a critical next-generation infrastructure.
