ONC Tech Forum: Accelerating FHIR Adoption and Improving Scalability

Join us for a moderated panel discussion with developers and implementers about the future FHIR ecosystem. Panelists will provide their perspectives on the impact of FHIR adoption and implementation on healthcare, addressing questions such as: what use cases will see greatest adoption (and what will happen to CCDA)? What challenges will we have to solve as more granular data is searchable over FHIR APIs? How will FHIR impact user experience of accessing health information?

HITEQ Highlights: What to Do About Health IT Hazards Associated with Copy and Paste in the EHR

Copy and paste functionality can support efficiency during clinical documentation, but may promote inaccurate documentation with risks for patient safety. This webinar will discuss three key areas where health centers can consider implementing safe practice recommendations:

  • Define copy and paste as a health IT safety issue by identifying the potential patient safety risks
  • Review safe practice recommendations and implementation strategies to mitigate health IT-related hazards and safety issues
  • Disseminate evidence, tools and practices for implementation

AI Fundamentals and Applications in Primary Care Live Webinar

 

The Weitzman Institute and the Moses/Weitzman Health System are pleased to present the latest installment of our series of informative discussions with an exclusive panel of global experts driving the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). April Joy Damian, PhD, MSc, CHPM, PMP, Vice President and Director of the Weitzman Institute will moderate this latest discussion, "AI Fundamentals and Applications in Primary Care," on Wednesday, October 26 at 1 pm Eastern| 10 am Pacific.  

This webinar will bring together industry AI leaders with an evidence-based applied perspective on using AI in primary care to:

  • Understand AI history, definitions, methodology, benefits, and healthcare use cases
  • Explore the most common and validated use cases in primary care
  • Examine implications of AI in promoting health equity and improving healthcare access and outcomes
ONC Tech Forum: Aligning USCDI, FHIR US Core, C-CDA and other Heath IT Standards
ONC Tech Forum: Aligning USCDI, FHIR US Core, C-CDA and other Heath IT Standards

ONC Tech Forum: Aligning USCDI, FHIR US Core, C-CDA and other Heath IT Standards

This session will provide an overview of the recently published United States Core Data for Interoperability Version 4 (USCDI v4) and its relationship to HL7® FHIR® US Core and C-CDA, the health IT standards which enable exchange of USCDI data. This session will discuss the interrelated processes of updating each of these standards in a way that promotes adoption of these newer standards while minimizing development and implementation burden.

Individuals’ Access and Use of Patient Portals and Smartphone Health Apps, 2022

Patient use of their health information accessible to them through online tools (e.g., patient portals and smartphone apps) can help empower them to make informed decisions about their health and track progress on health-related goals, potentially resulting in improved patient outcomes (1). Enabling patients to access and use the information contained in online medical records and patient portals may also provide significant health system benefits, including decreased healthcare costs and strengthened patient- physician relationships (1). In 2020, ONC published the Cures Act Final Rule to increase patient and provider access to health-related data, specifically through health IT developer adoption of secure standardized application programming interfaces (APIs) that make this information more widely available across smartphone apps (2). The API requirements, which as of 2023 have been rolled out to health care providers, enable patients to electronically access their electronic health information using apps. This brief analyzes recent data from the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults, to assess progress in patient access amidst implementation of Cures Rule provisions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which likely increased demand for access to online medical records. This brief also reports on methods and frequency of individuals’ access and use of online medical records and patient portals.
