A healthcare technology platform collaborated with JPStream to enhance healthcare data interoperability by adopting the FHIR standard for patient treatment data. JPStream transformed client's proprietary data into FHIR resources, facilitating seamless integration with external EMR systems.
By pushing data into the cloud, our client ensured HIPAA compliance, data security, and improved analytics for better patient care coordination.
Introduction
Our client is a healthcare technology platform that is transforming the transition of patient care. The platform offers a care coordination bridge between physician teams and third-party care providers, who continue patient care once patients leave the health system (Post-Acute).
Every day, care providers interface with physicians’ teams to obtain essential care authorizations and manage serious patient conditions. The platform includes features such as mobile, on-the-go physician authorizations, secure messaging portal care teams across organizations.
The client platform is also integrated with EMRs on industry standard means for sharing patient treatment data and documents, saving hundreds of hours of manual medical record sharing.
Challenge, Solution and Results
The Challenge
Client realizes FHIR is the future for Healthcare interoperability, and wants to invest early in the future around data exchanges and leverage the analytics approaches built on FHIR.
Solution
JPStream provided a solution to address data interoperability. These were the tasks involved.
JPStream designed an FHIR translation layer to convert the client proprietary format data into FHIR resources.
JPStream team, with extensive knowledge of FHIR resources, was able to map columns in each table to multiple FHIR resources and create relationships between those.
FHIR resources were pushed into the cloud for further access and analysis
Results
With the data being pushed to the cloud, and our client was able to achieve the following benefits.
Future-proofing of his Patient Treatment data into FHIR standards helps in interoperability when interacting with external EMR systems. We can further provide insights on Patient Treatment and on other metrics.
Data in the cloud helps our client to comply with various regulatory requirements such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The service provides end-to-end encryption, access controls, and audit trails to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of patient data.
