Sparking a FHIR: How New Health IT Standards Will Change Your EHR

In the EHR and health policy space, everyone is talking about FHIR: Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. What is FHIR? When and how does the government expect health care organizations, EHRs, patients, payers, and public health agencies to use it? How does NACHC use (and plan to use) FHIR to support health centers? What should our organizations expect from our vendors and health delivery partners? What are other health centers and their partners doing with FHIR now? Presenters will discuss examples that are actively in development and deployment at health centers and at NACHC including: HIV clinical decision support, CDC public health case reporting, and the use of FHIR Care Plans to address social determinants of health and COVID-19. This session is designed to build a foundation of knowledge about FHIR and offer opportunities to test, exchange information, and deploy FHIR tools. Join us as we take you into the next generation of health IT!
