Health Information Exchange (HIE)

New $6 million project to standardise hospital EMRs, ensuring privacy while supporting large-scale research, health policy, and rapid pandemic response.

Leader John Lee has announced cross-border data sharing, faster drug approvals, AI cancer screening, a new regulatory centre, and expanded telehealth.

Bob Watson, CEO of Health Gorilla, explains why providers can expect interoperability enforcement under CMS and the advantages of adoption.

Its latest interoperability projects explore privacy-preserving applications that could improve the accuracy and scalability of individual access services under TEFCA and test FHIR-based capabilities.

Patient outcome data is flowing between 4,000 first responders and medical providers in Utah's Wasatch Front region through the new ESO Health Data Exchange platform.

At its Open@Epic data interoperability conference, the company also touted new access features, made possible through APIs and Bluetooth, and expanded developer resources, such as direct web links to sandboxes and more than 40 playbooks.

Patients of Epic providers onboarded to TEFCA can now access and share a single, real-time health record with HealthEx’s new service, and securely share it with any trusted third party, the companies say.

In allowing key claims to proceed, the ruling marks the first time an antitrust case against Epic has reached this stage of litigation. "Epic’s motion is granted in part and denied in part," the judge says.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeks to expand its enforcement actions and is encouraging patients and health IT developers to report providers and other organizations that stifle the exchange of electronic health information.

The Recognized Coordinating Entity said the growing national interoperability network now represents thousands of organizations and will continue to expand over the next year.
