EHR vendor drchrono has declared that its electronic health record (EHR), practice management and revenue cycle products now support the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources specification.
With FHIR, drchrono claimed that it’s enabling ten million sufferers to access to their healthcare information through the FHIR API through the company’s inpatient electronic health record.
The new application programming interface is developed to support the Precision Medicine Sync for Science Initiative and fulfills one of the requirements of Meaningful Use Stage 3 to enable a patient electronic health record API, the vendor stated.
Drchrono’s Patient API also offers users the ability to control their own data and share the data with others throughout the continuum of care. Any developer through the personal health record FHIR API can build applications on top of drchrono so researchers and other physicians with the patient’s approval can view that person’s data.
Most developers know what APIs are, they know the modern technology stacks, but they do not necessarily know what HL7 or X12 are, the company stated.
FHIR, on the other hand, enables developers to move into healthcare and start building new apps as quickly as possible using concepts from other modern technology practices, he said.
The healthcare system increasingly needs a patient to play more of a part to ensure they are getting the right care in the right setting at the right time.
“Increasingly, more of our healthcare system’s burden is on sufferers, when it comes to higher deductibles, the requirement for second opinions, the need to understand what preventive services are available to them,” said Aneesh Chopra, the former U.S. CTO and CEO of CareJourney. “That shift to more responsibility is concurrent with the need to have more information so you can get better at that step.”
