Hi Evelyn,

Today, FHIR is one of the most popular new standards in healthcare. It holds great promise for the development of smart applications that deliver value-added health information exchange.

In this blog we discuss how FHIR revolutionises healthcare information sharing, by breaking down data silos and offering up a more comprehensive patient record.

With more apps relying on the FHIR standard, FHIR removes patient participation barriers and enables more clinician-led technology innovations.

Hi Evelyn,

Our previous series of blogs on FHIR has touched on many crucial aspects of interoperability and how FHIR APIs adoption can influence the delivery of healthcare in today's digital age.

Today the demand for better public health workflows, superior medical applications and virtual care is increasing, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the entire world.

This outbreak has created a greater need to have a superior integration of technology with healthcare. But are FHIR APIs better than other APIs? Our latest blog reviews the reasons we think FHIR APIs are superior.

Hi Evelyn,

The rise in chronic disease along with patients needing long-term medications means health systems must find better ways of caring for patients.

Clinician-patient partnerships are a particularly important way to achieve this, as educating patients on their condition and motivating them to play an active role in their care empowers them to make healthier choices and decisions.

In the final blog of the series, we look at medication management as a good example of how clinicians can share responsibility with patients by trusting and enabling them safely to take ownership of aspects of their care.

Hi Evelyn,

The patient administration system (PAS) is at the heart of many hospitals, supporting the seamless flow of patients throughout the health system.

By enabling organisations to capture and use data in a more structured manner, and report and schedule resources more efficiently, hospitals can refine processes as required.

In our latest blog, we discuss how the PAS streamlines administrative processes to support the management of today's healthcare challenges.

Hi Evelyn, 

Privacy and security of an individual's healthcare data is paramount. One of the most common concerns about cloud computing, is how secure is it to have all your health data accessible via an Orion Health platform on a cloud-based server?

In the next blog in our series on cloud computing, we discuss how cloud computing makes security a top priority, the need for data security and on-premise versus cloud servers.

Hi Evelyn,

Medication non-adherence is a critical clinical and economic problem that places an enormous burden on our health systems. Non-adherence leads to additional medical visits and unnecessary and avoidable hospitalisations that lead to increased healthcare costs.

 

There are many reasons patients can become non-adherent to their medication regimen. These include frustration or confusion with the exact list of medications they need to take, financial problem, lack of disease education, a perception that their medications make no difference, intolerable side effects and inability to communicate with their healthcare providers.

 

Confusion about the recommended regimen is common, especially at transition points such as when patients move from hospital to community.

 

Can the burden of non-adherence to the health system be alleviated by building trust through technology?"

Hi Evelyn,

Genomically, we are more than 99 percent alike but separated, on average, by millions of genetic variations. The key is in finding which variants are harmless and which ones pose real dangers. This is where Personalized Medicine comes in.

Personalized Medicine is tailoring treatment according to the unique molecular or genetic mapping of an individual patient and understanding how these unique features contribute to the occurrence of certain disease patterns and progression.

Let's review a few examples of how Personalized Medicine is applied in healthcare.

Hi Evelyn, 

Even today, information sharing between child health care providers is primarily relationship-based. Health checks done by multiple specialty organisations are not connected and held in silos.

There is no national system that exists in order to share data in real-time. This means families must repeatedly share their details; providers lose contact with families and children miss out on timely healthcare.

What can we do at the national level to ensure no child is lost in the system and every child has access to the care they deserve?

Hi Evelyn,

In recent years, awareness has evolved, and experts agree the environment people live in, their socio-economic status, lifestyle and cultural background, affect the health status of an individual far more than previously understood.

The structure of our current healthcare delivery system impacts health during episodes of injury or illness, while social determinants interact with health much earlier and on a day-to-day basis. Social determinants are non-medical factors that impact a person's health.

In this blog, we explore how understanding social determinants can help predict negative outcomes, how we can achieve health equity, examples of social determinants and how health systems are addressing the social determinants of health.

Hi Evelyn,

Most clinician-patient interactions today are largely a clinician-orchestrated approach. However, in Participatory Medicine, the patient plays a much more active role in the process of care.

Participatory Medicine ushers in some very real changes to the way healthcare functions today. This approach is perhaps best encapsulated by the concept of "let patients help".

Hi Evelyn, 

Today, many healthcare organisations still have legacy IT systems or systems that cannot communicate with each other, reducing the ability to provide clinicians with timely, accurate access to information.

The advent of cloud computing helps healthcare organisations take a practical step toward utilising their health data to solve some of the big issues in healthcare today.

In our latest blog, we discuss the appeal of cloud-based platforms, such as AWS, and how cloud computing supports efforts to improve an individual's long-term care and reduce costs.

Hi Evelyn,

Many studies have documented a close-response relationship between EMR usability and the odds of clinical burnout. Time-starved clinicians are now inundated with more volumes and types of data than ever before and there's an urgent need to organise and present the data for efficient processing by the clinician.

Clinicians today are not only expected to provide exceptional patient care but also reduce hospital readmissions, advance community health, stay abreast of medical research, adopt new medical technologies, and cope with an ever-evolving regulatory structure.

Care won't get less complex, and information will only continue to grow, so can we lessen the cognitive overload on clinicians?

Hi Evelyn,

Interoperability has been an important topic in healthcare for almost a decade now. But why is interoperability important in healthcare?

This blog explores six ways interoperability benefits the health system, by improving healthcare delivery and patient experience.

Interoperability improves clinician efficiency, enables safer transitions of care, saves clinician time, helps lower healthcare costs, maintains patient privacy and reduces treatment and medication errors.

Read our first blog in our series of all things FHIR. Our next blog will feature the importance of HL7 and why it is important in healthcare.

Hi Evelyn,

Many healthcare providers, particularly specialists, are required to access multiple electronic systems to see relevant diagnoses for a patient.

This can be even more challenging if they provide services in outpatient clinics that are not integrated with the local hospital system.

This is where HL7 interoperability standards showcase their value.

The blog looks at the importance of HL7 in healthcare and how HL7 can maximise value from EHRs, minimise duplication of work and improve clinical efficiency.

This blog is the second in our series on all things FHIR. Stay tuned for our next blog which will look at the basics of FHIR.

Hi Evelyn,

It's been almost a year since HL7 announced their latest version of FHIR, version 4.

The FHIR standard continues to evolve and from now onwards will be backwards compatible. Many foundational artefacts of FHIR 4 are now defined as "normative", meaning, they will go through a standard development lifecycle before they can be modified.

As the latest version of FHIR, anyone involved in the sharing or consuming of healthcare information will need to pay close attention to version 4 for all it has to offer.

This blog looks at what FHIR version 4 has to offer and how Orion Health is involved.
