I am getting excited to give two IHE on FHIR tutorials at FHIR DevDays in Boston. The FHIR DevDays event is focused on educating IT professionals in the newest standard in healthcare, FHIR – Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. My blog articles on the topic of FHIR , Document Sharing , and Privacy

The IHE IT-Infrastructure committee continues to produce new and improved specifications for HIE interoperability. The first is the ability to exchange a list of health data locations, which enables Record Locator Services to interoperate with consumers wishing to discover the location of patient records within a health information exchange.

I think the most useful value-add that an HIE can add is an API that is based on FHIR. Initially I would focus on Document sized objects, Later moving to more element level. Documents There has been much focus lately on the publication side of Document Sharing. Why Documents? Especially if the data is historic.

Nationwide Interoperability: It’s been a concept, a term bandied about for a while in various forms, but for those of us who have worked in health IT for more than a few years, we know that it has taken a long time for transformational change to be felt by the providers and the individuals they serve. billion documents to date.

Original prediction: We won’t see accelerated adoption of interoperability standards (e.g., HL7 ® , HL7 ® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources or FHIR ® ). Increasingly, machines are much less discriminating between a finely structured FHIR document and a poorly scanned PDF—and the latter may be richer than the former.

The track itself defines a number of actors: The creator of an IPS document – for example an EHR (Electronic Health Record).

There is also a model in MHDS for those that have no legacy environment that builds the full infrastructure using FHIR services.

The topic is about a vision of how things could/should be at the point of care because of successful interoperability. Historically discussions in Health IT have been around very basic interoperability fundamentals. These things are accelerated by FHIR and US-Core. The whole purpose of Interoperability MUST be for some end goal.
