Enhancing Interoperability and Data Sharing with Innovative Technologies and Standards

Enhancing Interoperability and Data Sharing with Innovative Technologies and Standards

The alignment and culmination of technologies and standards to address interoperability and data sharing will improve the ability of providers to provide quality healthcare services to their patients. Some of these technologies include the ability to meet and adhere to privacy and security requirements, such as HIPAA, through data security and privacy technologies that allow for consistent data protection across QHINs to allow for the exchange of EHI. This allows the ability to analyze data in a protected state without exposure to individually identifiable information so that data scientists can arrive at an understanding of correlations for specific health scenarios and determine probable outcomes responsibly. Leveraging this type of approach increases advancement and influences the improvement of the quality of healthcare services.

The entire digital app world is powered by APIs, which allow computation on individual data fields – your check deposit amount, real-time weather, and your seat on the airplane. The ONC Cures Act APIs and the companion CMS Access APIs all require these modern FHIR-based technologies and are fundamentally designed to grow a vibrant digital health economy providing choice and value to consumers. These API protocols are known and used by hundreds of thousands of developers. In contrast, TEFCA by design uses an ancient communication protocol and largely non-computable data (a CCD document that would need to be parsed every time).
