Hospitals are outpacing physicians in healthcare data exchange, according to a new report from Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The study tracked the ability of hospitals and physicians to electronically find, send, receive and integrate patient health information—the 4 domains of interoperability. It found that in 2023, 70% of hospitals reported “sometimes” or “often” engaging in all 4 domains, compared to just 23% in 2014. By comparison, less than 20% of physicians engaged in all 4 domains by 2021. The ONC acknowledged the progress but called for continued improvement. It announced that future data analysis will focus on routine interoperability as the benchmark for success.

"It’s crucial for patients to have trusting interactions with their physicians and the current information overload directly impedes this essential connection.” Navina’s CEO Ronen Lavi shares his thoughts in a PM360 Magazine Think Tank on “what’s working, what’s not and what’s next” when it comes to empowering healthcare professionals with innovative tools. Read the article to learn why disorganized data is a major hurdle to quality care, how to solve the problem by using cutting-edge technology to cull and reconcile patient data from all relevant sources—and transform it into actionable health insights.

Hey 4Geeks nation!! 👋, I recently came across a really interesting article on FHIR, a standardized framework for exchanging healthcare information electronically. 💻 In the healthcare industry, fragmented data 📁 makes it difficult to share patient information seamlessly. This can lead to delays in care, medication errors, and frustration for both patients and providers. 😩 FHIR has the potential to revolutionize healthcare data exchange by providing a common language for healthcare systems to communicate with each other. 🌐 This can lead to several benefits, including: - Improved patient care: With all of a patient's medical information in one place, providers can make more informed decisions about their care. 👨⚕️ - Empowered patients: Patients can easily access and share their medical records, giving them more control over their health information. 💪 - Streamlined workflows: FHIR can automate many manual tasks associated with data exchange, saving providers time and money. ⏱️💰 - Advanced analytics: By making healthcare data more accessible, FHIR can help to advance research and development in new treatments and cures. 🧠 💊 Of course, there are also some challenges that need to be addressed before FHIR can be widely adopted. These challenges include implementation costs, standardization, and data privacy. However, the potential benefits of FHIR are so significant that it is clear that this is a technology that is here to stay. I am optimistic about the future of FHIR adoption in healthcare and I believe that it has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of patients and providers alike. What are your thoughts on FHIR? Have you had any experience using it?

This is so important. Technology as an enabler to enhance the clinician - patient relationship.

An interesting article from ONC: "Raising the Bar on Interoperability – A Decade of Data Show that “Sometimes” Isn’t Good Enough". It articulates four domains of meaningful interoperability activity: electronically finding, sending, receiving, and integrating patient health information, and endeavors to measure participation in all four domains. Through meaningful use and other programs to encourage interoperability hospitals are found to be much more able to benefit from external data, but the physicians providers less so. ONC is establishing more refined metrics for interoperability, and pointing out that full connectivity and effective health information exchange requires a much higher participation rate in all four domains for both physicians and healthcare institutions. #onc #interoperability https://lnkd.in/gNPUMTMB

Forbes: The Role Of Data At Every Step Of The Healthcare Journey This Forbes article discusses the pivotal role of data at every stage of the healthcare journey, emphasizing how primary source longitudinal healthcare data is being utilized by healthcare professionals to enhance patient care outcomes. By leveraging data connectivity and advanced analytics, healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes, reduce waste, and lower costs. The piece explores four key ways in which data can transform the patient care journey, focusing on converging health plan member analytics, real-world evidence for new therapies, addressing medication adherence challenges, and establishing representative datasets while ensuring compliance. The integration of data-driven approaches in healthcare is crucial for driving impactful advancements in healthcare outcomes and drug development. #healthcare #healthcaredata #healthcareit #bigdata https://lnkd.in/ebYQtmxa

Digital Healthcare: Wisdom Reflections https://lnkd.in/dS4muM8a

Exciting announcement! 💡Our open-access paper, "System change in practice: A report from the EHC Think Tank workstreams on Registries and Patient Agency", is now published in The Journal of Haemophilia Practice. This insightful paper delves into the outcomes and insights gathered from our Registries and Patient Agency workstreams. Through a thorough three-phase process of Discovery, Strategy, and Innovation, our dedicated workstream members identified key challenges and mapped out strategies for transformative change. In the Registries workstream, efforts were directed towards enhancing data quality and fostering a common purpose, resulting in a comprehensive roadmap for aligning registries across Europe. Meanwhile, the Patient Agency workstream focused on amplifying patient influence in healthcare, harnessing digital tools for patient-reported outcome measures, and crafting essential resources such as the Guidebook on Patient Agency. This collaboration showcases the vital importance of system change – a co-creation process, with all stakeholders involved – for equitable healthcare access.
