Today, the importance of FHIR Standards is gaining significant attention in the healthcare IT community. Here's what they are: FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards are a set of rules and specifications for exchanging electronic healthcare data. In simple terms, FHIR standards: - Enable secure and standardized data exchange between healthcare providers, payers, and patients - Facilitate seamless communication between different healthcare systems and applications - Empower patients to access and share their healthcare data with ease. By adopting FHIR standards, we can improve patient care, enhance patient empowerment, and increase efficiency in healthcare services. #FHIR #HealthcareInteroperability #DataExchange #PatientCare #HealthcareIT

Today, the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) released its latest health data, technology and interoperability proposed rule. This rule proposes a new floor of functionality for certified EHRs, focusing on policy priorities such as real-time prescription benefit checks; public health data sharing; and patient, provider and payer API access. The rule also proposes changes to existing 21st Century Cures Act information blocking regulations, and proposes to codify many sub-regulatory policies related to the implementation of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). The comment period will conclude 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register. It is expected to be published the week of July 15. 👇 See below for the basics on the proposed rule.

Hospitals must adhere to transparency rules as healthcare regulations evolve to ensure patients have access to crucial pricing information. Protiviti’s recent whitepaper describes the latest updates in 2024 and emphasizes the importance of machine-readable files (MRF), a vital component in improving transparency and patient trust. The paper delves into these new standards and provides actionable insights for healthcare organizations to ensure compliance.

#fhir #interoperability #ePA Have you ever been in a situation, when you visit your primary care physician and he/she recommends you to go through a specific treatment which needs a referral and you are informed that it will cost you $20-$25 for the paper based referral process and may take a week or two for the referral decision from the health plan. Of course Burden Reduction rule and Electronic Prior Authorization are the future to get rid of the current deficiencies in the current process but you do not know the basics of healthcare FHIR Interoperability. Don't worry, i have written multiple books keeping people, who wants to start from basics to build knowledge to take up this exciting journey. Let us partner to transform the future of healthcare delivery.

Is healthcare regulation happening to you or for you? What must be true for regulation to advance our organization's 'Why'? I am looking forward to exploring these strategic questions with other leaders at the InterSystems payer lunch during the HIMSS conference in Orlando next week. And I hope to connect with many of you! #himss24
