  Recently, a new standard for healthcare information called FHIR has been introduced. FHIR stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources and can change how patient data is shared while reducing costs. This makes patients more involved in their care while improving the quality of care too. This blog explores what FHIR is and why it is vital for healthcare practices. Let us look at how FHIR and FHIR interoperability works and how unleashing it in healthcare benefits the industry immensely. What is FHIR? FHIR is a new healthcare information standard that is based on XML. This means that different types of healthcare software can use it to communicate with each other. It was created by a non-profit venture called Health Level Seven International (HL7). The goal of HL7 is to make electronic health records (EHRs) communicate with one another. This is to make them work together seamlessly regardless of where they are located worldwide. What are the benefits? Currently, the standards

Every second, an exponential amount of healthcare data is generated and mined for valuable insights. Healthcare providers want to make the best of it, take their care delivery to the next level, and improve their bottom line. However, when the EHR data is spread across multiple organizations in different formats, it can be challenging to mine, analyze and turn it into valuable insights. That’s where HL7 Interfaces Solution comes in. HL7 (Health Level), a collection of formatting standards, provides you with a structured approach to capturing, managing, and sharing data so that you can make the best of it. In this blog, I share two major approaches and how to implement an HL7 interface in your organization. It is notable that research says that communication time can be reduced by 50% when HL7 is implemented correctly. Approach One: Host the HL7 Interface in the Cloud You can use a ready-to-use HL7 interface engine that is hosted in the cloud, which connects with your EHR system. This

Undeniably, EHRs are revolutionizing how patient care is delivered and how patient history and clinical data are accessed and read. Although EHR Software has been around for several years, it only became popular after 2009 when the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act ) was passed by Congress.   Although several healthcare providers have adopted EHR system software, there is much talk about the future of EHRs in healthcare. So, what is the future of EHRs, and what are the market trends about this topic? The future of EHR is promising, as identified by the following points:         1.        Lowering Implementation Costs Since EHR software saves time and effort, players in the healthcare space will deploy methodologies that will save money to lower implementation costs. This will further reduce the EHR cycle times to enable continuous delivery of client-essential operations. Future EHR System Software will include language processing and v
