FHIR in Action: Streamlining Interoperability for Better Care Coordination

The Interoperability Challenge in U.S. Healthcare

Despite heavy investment in electronic health records (EHRs), providers across the United States still struggle with fragmented data systems. Patients move between primary care, specialists, and hospitals, but their data often doesn’t follow. This lack of interoperability impacts:

Care coordination - Critical information is missing at the point of care.

Clinical outcomes - Delays and errors in treatment decisions.

Financial performance - Inefficiencies and compliance risks.

“FHIR transforms interoperability by connecting data across systems, closing care gaps, & enabling seamless, patient-centered care.”

Why FHIR Matters

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (HL7 FHIR) has emerged as the industry standard to bridge data silos. Built on modern web technologies, FHIR enables healthcare organizations to:

• Exchange patient data in real-time between systems.
• Standardize APIs for easier integration with apps and third-party tools.
• Enhance patient access by supporting secure data sharing via mobile and web apps.
• Meet regulatory requirements under the 21st Century Cures Act and ONC’s interoperability rules.

FHIR in Action: Driving Better Care Coordination

By leveraging FHIR, U.S. hospitals, health systems, and physician groups can:

• Close care gaps - Ensure specialists, primary care, and payers see the same patient data.
• Support value-based care models- Streamline reporting and population health management.
• Empower patients - Enable them to access and share their own health information.
• Accelerate innovation - Integrate telehealth, RPM, and AI solutions seamlessly with EHRs.
