And why? With the EPIC vs Particle Health debate, the business-side of the situation is just being pushed even more towards the front. TEFCA participation is voluntary. Regional HIE participation is voluntary. Even Care Everywhere is voluntary for EPIC-using systems. You know what is mandatory? Patient access. Why are we depending on competing businesses to make it work? The patient has the most at stake and has the most interest in information flowing and getting the best outcome. Give them the power to participate. The framework is already there. IYKYK, but that's what we do at Primary Record and that's why we do it.
Nurse Entrepreneur in HealthTech ⌘ CEO of Primary Record ⌘ Passionate advocate for family caregivers ⌘ My mission is to simplify health information for families for better care.
Every time I see news about the changing regulations around health data exchanges I do a “Command + F” to search “patient” then “caregiver” to see the # of times mentioned. While there is a lot of excitement about the increasing support and use of #FHIR, I am increasingly discouraged as a nurse about the non-mention of the use case of patient access. “Today's release includes framework enhancements, including greater use of FHIR, better support for use cases beyond treatment, and simplified onboarding for participants like clinicians, digital health apps, public health agencies and other end users of health data," said Mariann Yeager. Our #1 end user at Primary Record is the patient and family surrounding the patient.
