Healthcare IT Interoperability and EMR Interoperability Explained

[@Kelly-td5uf]

I remember the pain of getting imaging off of CDs! On a few occasions, we even had to call IT to install a new program on our computer so we could open the files. What a nightmare.

#True. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Dr. Bricker, Thank you for all the insightful presentations...much obliged!

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching.

I suspect that interoperability increases when you have fewer ehr vendors in a location. I believe in Cleveland, Epic “owns” most of the beds while in Boston I suspect there is greater variability in EHRs. That would be a great graph to show: %interoperable c/w #of EHRs in a graphical location. I believe most interpretable issues are caused by software variability rather than nefarious practice. That said, I suspect healthcare business practices do question the value of interoperability on the bottom line while clinicians bang their heads in frustration at the obvious needs here.

[@ahealthcarez]

All great points. Thank you for watching and for your comment!

[@connermccrawesome]

Know of any one talking on how the requirement by end of 2022 for interop will affect the bottom line?

[@ryanweaver962]

Laws, good work, policy, feedback loops, communities, markets…. All manner of people and organizations…. The Values embedded within these works matter so very much.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@chaunce47]

Don't we all just love it when we are at our specialist and need to fax over the imaging yet we have the images on our smartphone! I wonder what the major medical system(s) of Cleveland are? Im from the Philly region and can say with full confidence there are a handful of systems to choose from. Jefferson, Tower, Virtua, Penn, Main Line. Is there a correlation between Interoperability and quantity of systems?

[@ahealthcarez]

Great question. Appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.

[@RaminR]

Great video as always Eric!! Very informative!!

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@cyrilsurendar738]

This is excellent, thank you for this.

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@AG-xq6kj]

Enjoyed watching this - by the way, I’d love to get your thoughts on the current market for ASCs and viability of new entrants!

Health interoperability may not exactly be Devine work… but it certainly helps us all elevate. The needs are real.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and for your comment.

[@aliibrahem3691]

Great content 👍 ThX

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching!!

[@nolanjekich2699]

Great content! One question I have for you. Is there certain policy, legislation or models that would advance interoperability throughout health systems? VBC is one way providers and health systems would advocate for advancing interoperability.

[@ahealthcarez]

Great question. One option: Break up large hospital systems. If scope of services small, then would have to share data just to get patients.

[@jenno5555]

Can you do a video about medical errors, especially with maternal mortality please?

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and for your suggestion.

[@ryanweaver962]

Open enrollment and health interoperability… these things matter a lot. Streams and pools and influence and mirrors. The needs of privacy, transparency and proper oversight can and need to bridge while minimizing leverage based leadership. #LoveEVICTShate #stakeholdeconnectioms

Thank you for watching and for your comment.

[@YadhyraCaldeon]

I appreciate your efforts! 🙏 Need some advice: 🙏 I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What is this? 🤔

[@aet2u]

Its still siloed...within the hospital or doc practice...

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@ericgombrich8643]

Another "angle" to this is that even independent practitioners (i.e., GPs/Family MDs) are averse to sharing data. The patient charts (aka "data") is the asset they accumulate over the course of a career that they ultimately "sell" as their retirement fund when they leave practice. If its ubiquitously available thru sharing, why would the next generation of MD's pay much for it? And the hard assets (equipment, etc.) of a practice will have depreciated too much to have significant value.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and sharing your view.

[@ryanweaver962]

The work of safe and effective health sharing is very important. It is also important to have an equality amendment to the constitution where data usage and privacy, transparency and proper oversight is better understood and protected. The old school debate of trustee vs delegate theory of leadership and or stewardship is something we as a nation and world need to better understand. The mass evolution of information technology and concept of "i know better than you"... can have very deleterious effects. humans matter. Of course expertise and discretion matter... these are not single use issues. #LoveEVICTShate

They needs of medical ecosystems with blended lines of connections matter a great deal. The concentric circle (Venn Diagrams are a decent starting place... but it's three-four dimenstional and overlapping and time bound and in flux.. 5 dimensional "ish"... A medical eco system has movement within it and has varied stimulus and response which gets more difficult to discern over time... some reactions begin, initial energy converts and off it goes.... the Values spinning to and fro.... (an aside... hate feeds itself in this fashion...). Now, those movements and shifts in those lines affect the medical eco system internally... but also the entire system effects the larger whole of healthcare at large... and those individual lines also affect the greater whole at different times... The honest and safe sharing of health data has value of honesty... which is also fraught with history, personal choices... value and fee for services... mental health and all sorts of things..... The health and energy infrastructure effect these matters but differently and by their nature bring other tools, needs and expertise and realizations to the "table"... The AI stuff isn't a panacea... it's us... but a freeze frame version of us withe line extensions flowing with all of the other stuff (in it already)... the positive feedback loops need honesty (health interoperbility... with assurances of patients and providers and systems' rights)... it's a baseline... the disconnected stuff or back tracking into CD's or whatever may take these concepts and put a "safety" check on... it's true, but it also adds time and process to bastardizing stewardship and overly developed monetizations... where there are a lot of public funds involved... the defintion of grift and graft... but the safety and rights are real... In another sector or sphere (ish)... connected but also it's own.... I have three bank accounts... one very local Credit Union, one large across state credit union... and one national/international bank.... Acute and systemic... local and larger context... honesty and kindness... I am not anti business/markets... of course not... I also have a healthy fear of over reach of any sector... The connections help some...We need better interoperability and safety and medical and infrastructure eco systems... without tearing down very needed learnings and systems in place. #LoveEVICTShate

[@modanq]

Cleveland has high interoperability due to monopoly/duopoly of hospital systems and EMR systems (EPIC)

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@ryanweaver962]

He's not even talking about rural health when oversight and certificate of need and stark law and influence networks shift in priorities... It's just so much.. we need better, badly.

[@ahealthcarez]

Yes we do.

[@ryanweaver962]

When we consider the concepts of homeostasis (one body)... and fragmented incremental improvement... a bit of a precursor to fractionated improvement... butterflies, bees, and turtles... so to speak... DNA replication process.... I am not an expert in DNA nor nuclear physics nor religious scholar... a very very real reason why diversity of thoughts and understanding of expertise while moving forward in positive and better work... Human centric positive feedback loops.. Translational medicine and infrastructure/energy/water/climate/innovations... they aren't the same but are related and connected... causations and correlations and influence splices. The regional work needs safe and effective interoperability with.... rights of individuals and groups... privacy, transparency and proper oversight... Growth and process while also creating safe and effective space.... Health and climate are connected; as is the work, the needs of fractionated improvement while overlay and understanding of connections and needs of growth... Connections to community will and must help... #LoveEVICTShate #E=MC2

[@cajal6]

Because of data privacy concerns, I very much do not want my medical data shared between health systems.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and sharing your point of view.

[@anubhavnyati2507]

How is the scope of health IT in INDIA ?

[@ryanweaver962]

yes, I like community banks too and all types of organizations... breathe ya'll.

[@ryanweaver962]

This stuff matters y’all.

[@ahealthcarez]

Agreed.

[@ryanweaver962]

safety of course, but we can do better

[@ahealthcarez]

Agreed.
