We're excited to showcase the data-driven health insights we're delivering through CQL & FHIR. As we advance interoperability and drive change in the healthcare landscape, understanding key terms and technologies is essential. Check out this easy-to-read breakdown of CQL, and stay tuned for more educational blogs where we'll share key points and lessons learned over the past 3 years about the foundational elements of our clinical rules. More updates are coming soon! Eugene Vestel, MBA John Dobak #digitalhealth #fhir #personalizedinsights #interoperability

Learn how to efficiently extract and integrate FHIR Bulk Data, enhancing data accessibility and interoperability in healthcare. This guide discusses the tools, techniques, and benefits of utilizing the FHIR Bulk Data API, which simplifies the process of handling large datasets from electronic health records, improving the efficiency of data analysis and sharing across medical organizations.

A lot of EHRs were built without the clinician or the patient in mind. The rapid adoption driven by the #HITECH Act prioritized turning clinical documentation into claims and meeting basic Meaningful Use requirements. Unfortunately, this led to significant downstream effects like poor usability, physician burnout, and even safety issues. AI has the potential to address many of these challenges (like Graham Walker, MD also highlighted in his recent post - see comments). However, it’s equally important to ensure that AI systems themselves are developed and implemented with clinicians and patients at the center. This isn’t just about fixing the shortcomings of EHRs; it’s about preventing AI systems, now being rapidly adopted for clinical and administrative purposes, from introducing new broken workflows driven by misaligned incentives. #healthcareAI #EHR #AIgovernance #patientcenteredcare

EHRs were never truly designed for clinical care—they were built to digitize outdated paper workflows, with little regard for what clinicians actually need. And thanks to government incentives focused solely on “uptake,” these systems got the green light without ever having to improve our clinical workflows or information management. Think about it: when you look at an EHR today, what do you see? Data is sorted by type, date, or status—like an endless spreadsheet of disconnected elements. But where’s the purpose? Where’s the problem-oriented structure that reflects how we actually think in medicine? Labs, orders, and notes are all ordered and written for a reason, tagged to a medical problem or covering a set of issues, yet they’re often buried and scattered across the record in a way that loses clinical meaning. It’s time we move past these systems and start designing tools that support clinicians rather than forcing them into workflows that make little sense. The clinical information management system should be designed with problem-oriented care at its core - not data tables - where information serves its purpose and clinicians can focus on what they do best—caring for patients. https://lnkd.in/enU4ZKmn #healthcareinnovation #EHR #digitalhealth #clinicianworkflows #RiverRiver Records #medicalAI #betterCharts

Burnout among healthcare professionals is a growing concern, and one major factor is technology that doesn’t truly support clinicians. I’ve seen so many talented colleagues—amazing clinicians—struggle with systems that add frustration rather than ease. #HealthIT should prioritize enabling clinicians to provide the excellent care that inspired so many of us to pursue healthcare in the first place. 💡 The solution? We need more clinicians actively shaping healthcare technology! By involving those with firsthand patient care experience in the design and integration of tech, we can create systems that benefit everyone—patients and providers alike. This mission is what drives my passion for #Informatics. Let’s build a future where technology empowers, not burdens. 🙌 #Healthcare #InformaticsInnovation 👩⚕️

Clinical Digital Assistant is a combination of GenAI, clinical intelligence, multimodal voice, and screen-driven assistance, along with straightforward workflow functionality. Do you know that an early study found that doctors saved between 20% to 40% in daily documentation time? (attribute the bulk of their administrative burden to software) Don't we need to help our health professionals to avoid wasting time in administrative tasks instead of focusing on patients? The new assistant helps to eliminate system clicks, reduce burnout among healthcare providers, and improve quality of care by enabling doctors to focus more on patients than other tasks such as note taking.
