CloudSight FHIR integration with EMRs

Leverage FHIR Endpoints for Secure Patient Data

When talking about software and technology applications, the term?integration?often comes up in retail, wholesale, and health-related businesses.

Integrations drive automation and customer self-service applications but can present special challenges for health practices because of demanding HIPAA regulations for privacy, security, and utility.

Fortunately, these problems can be resolved with an?CloudSight EHR-EMR integration with FHIR endpoints.

FHIR works better across siloed medical systems because it communicates more effectively in today's digital environment.

Built on JSON for structured content, RESTful APIs, and other common codes and formatting standards, the FHIR standard is both future-proof and easy to connect to existing systems to provide meaningful use in patient portals.

What Is Cloudsight/FHIR Endpoint Integration?

Medical practices face the twin challenges of providing greater patient access while ensuring HIPAA-level security.

FHIR is an API format with predefined endpoints. The API layer is outside the?HIPAA-compliant website's firewalls, so all incoming and outgoing data can be verified for validity and security before being accepted into the system.

The robust nature of Cloudsight's FHIR when combined with EHR and EMR technology makes it easy for developers to integrate medical apps, health monitoring devices, patient portals, medical mobile apps, and third-party resources into their systems.

The technical details of an?CloudSight FHIR integration can be challenging for any medical practice because healthcare staff members usually work on medical issues instead of development and security technology.

That's why it's important to hire an experienced software development company to implement an EMR-EHR system and handle the secure?EMR integration.

FHIR and HL7 Details

FHIR provides a robust API environment for secure access to HL7 patient data.

HL7 creates the actual specifications, and FHIR and SMART EHR are guidelines used to implement the technology.

The internal systems of hospitals, clinics, and other health practices need to install, configure, and update their internal operating systems to incorporate these standards.

That's why medical companies need an experienced and trusted developer for a seamless integration process of an Epic instance and FHIR with their health system.

Benefits of EHR-EMR Integration with FHIR Endpoints

EHR integration services?of HIPAA-approved technologies foster greater communication between patients and staff, streamline office operations, and enable more self-service functions for patients.

Practices can meet their targets for the Medicare and Medicaid patient meaningful use mandate to qualify for government reimbursement. The more that patients use and consult their electronic health records and other medical history files, the better their treatment will be.

Some of the Benefits of using FHIR endpoints?and Epic integration for staff and patients include:

Ease of Communications

Staff can post critical information to patients in a secure forum.

The Diagnostic Report Application

Patients can link to verified outside information associated with lab procedures.

The Observation Resource

The observation resource enables analyses of vital signs, encounter diagnosis, smoking history, bad health habits, and lab results to identify common health problems. Patients can consult expert resources for further information.

Health Provider Care Plan Details

Each patient can receive specific assessments and treatments for associated medical, surgical, dental, and diagnostic procedures.

Appointment Management

All appointments are listed on secure patient portals that patients can consult anytime.

Overcoming Common System Limitations

The FHIR standard overcomes many limitations by making it easier to incorporate proprietary health apps and health information into EHR/EMR systems and allowing greater interoperability for software companies and app developers to create better features and apps for patients.

Bill Management

Patients can pay their bills and view their medical invoices 24/7. That increases on-time payments and reduces no-pays.

FHIR endpoints enable patients, doctors, pharmacies, and insurance companies to exchange data without the rigid workflows of other methods. There's no need for SOAP overhead when the system can use a straightforward RESTful approach. FHIR enables medical practices to focus on the 80 percent of common uses instead of the rarefied 20 percent of exceptions.

NEST Technology

NEST technology is the government's initiative to create universal interoperability among medical databases.

Spearheaded by the FDA, the goal of the initiative is to foster increased safety for medical-related devices and better input from devices, monitoring services, health providers, registries, patients, payers, insurers, and manufacturers to create a collaborative workspace where every stakeholder can work together on each patient's health. FHIR technology is one of the most promising standards for building a universal interoperable platform.
