Following the announcement of implementation of the Carequality-CommonWell interoperability collaboration, I was fortunate enough to catch up with Micky Tripathi ( @mickytripathi1 ) to discuss this development and put it in context. Micky is bullish on interoperability, both over the near term (the next 12-18 months) and the long term.

For example, the definition of EHI and how it applies to various data isn’t clear and how the 8 exceptions apply is also confusing to many. The organizations do suggest they support HHS’ efforts to “advance health data exchange and interoperability while advancing health equity for all.”

As the next phase in the evolution of interoperability, SDC allows for the secure and near real-time sharing of health data between devices at the point of care, regardless of the manufacturer. Traditionally, we think about interoperability as HIEs (health information exchanges), but in 2024 I expect to see new models emerge.

Increasing healthcare consolidation of hospitals has exacerbated the problem of lack of interoperability. There remain many opportunities for technologies to assist in achieving true interoperability. Today a broader definition may be applied: “the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.

Our conversations with healthcare organizations (HCOs) has not been all that insightful either as their PHM definitions are as disparate as the vendors. So if analytics is the engine, what is the steering wheel, what are the tires, is HIE the gas tank, or the fueling station? Yes, we are looking beyond referrals!

The expanded definition of EHI now includes virtually any health information tied to an individual that is used in decision making.

There is renewed discussion, much like back in January, around the need to go beyond testing just the FHIR Resource 'interoperability'. Testing Interoperability is not easy, and there are struggles with getting this first level testing done right. A 'system' in the broadest of definitions. CommonWell could do this.

By focusing on medical definitions of success (generally expressed as HEDIS measures), the program medicalized social problems and failed to explicitly recognize the significant role that social determinants play in the health of our communities. Did this happen everywhere? This was a minority of PPS. But it happened.

I’m going through an HIE implementation right now with a local HIE here in Georgia. The problem with interoperability and intraoperability is that those files become convoluted quickly. All of them have a lot of work to do around interoperability and parsing the right data set for the right patient at the right time.

A number of policies will need to be established in an XDS Affinity Domain in order to ensure effective interoperability between Document Sources and Consumers. It does not apply to XCA, as XCA uses the term "Community" in a rather similar but more expansive. an XDS Affinity Domain -- derived from the word "affinity".
