Interoperability

To use digital health tools effectively, healthcare organizations must provide consistent, reliable connectivity.

Using a census-based survey index that captures population-level socioeconomic risk for health disparities, researchers found that hospitals serving marginalized populations were 21% less likely to engage in interoperable data exchange than the rest.

The health system partnered with Premera Blue Cross to pilot a new data-as-a-service product that uses the HL7 Da Vinci Project’s clinical exchange standards to improve VBC delivery.

Simulation can help manufacturers develop safe and effective products on accelerated timelines to meet an increased need for medical devices in healthcare.

Luciano Brustia, managing director of InterSystems APAC, details how they are helping healthcare providers in Indonesia to integrate with the national health data platform SatuSehat.

A new report points out India's enormous potential to become a global medical device powerhouse.

Indonesia is poised to reap unique benefits from building FHIR into its SatuSehat platform, says Dr Russell Leftwich, senior clinical advisor of interoperability for InterSystems.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is calling on healthcare innovation teams to create artificial intelligence-enabled tools that elevate the agency's healthcare data management and clinical practice.

The CMS-based disincentives outlined in the proposed rule from ONC published Monday would penalize hospitals under the Promoting Interoperability Program, eligible clinicians under MIPS and ACO participants under the Medicare Shared Savings Program.

Threat actors could execute on a remote code execution vulnerability in Mirth Connect, a cross-platform communications tool, to gain access and compromise data, according to the NIST national vulnerability database.
