CommonWell TV: Back in Action at HIMSS19!
CommonWell2023-01-31T04:32:52-06:00As HIMSS19 gets under way, so does one of our favorite parts of the show – for a fourth year, we are looking forward to once again bringing you all the action from the conference as we host CommonWell TV from the HIMSS show floor, here in Orlando, Florida. With the health care and health IT industries constantly evolving, interoperability is more important than ever for increasing health data exchange and helping to improve care coordination, the patient experience and health outcomes. This is why starting today, we’ll be interviewing various executives from more than 30 CommonWell member companies at their booths and in the Interoperability Showcase, as well as CommonWell Executive Director Jitin Asnaani to get their take on the importance of interoperability, their experiences as CommonWell members, and the role [...]

The Need to Accelerate the Interoperability Ripple Effect in Digital Health
CommonWell2023-01-31T04:32:52-06:00CommonWell Health Alliance was founded on the shared belief that to drive better patient care and improve health outcomes, we need to connect as many care locations as possible across all care settings. Our vision was to unlock the full potential of healthcare IT by connecting as many other participants as possible who are committed to interoperability. Last year, we made great strides towards that vision, and in 2019, we will see the rise of national networks truly talking to one another. With that in mind, in November, CommonWell formally announced the connection of the CommonWell network to the Carequality Framework, actualizing a series of conversations and agreements which started years ago. The goal behind connecting networks like CommonWell to those which are accessible through Carequality is to create a [...]

Event Notifications – How CommonWell is Broadening its Services
CommonWell2023-01-31T04:32:54-06:00CommonWell Health Alliance is taking the next step in applying the broad scope of our connections by offering a key service that notifies providers of significant patient events. The event notification service will start with notifications to care providers, designed to help providers deliver consistent care for patients as they move across the care continuum, and will be demonstrated at the 2019 HIMSS Interoperability Showcase. The first phase of this service notifies subscribed providers when a patient interacts with an acute care provider. All admissions, transfers and/or discharges trigger a notification to be sent to any subscribed care provider who has an existing relationship with the patient. The notification includes the type of event and the name and location of the acute care provider as well as the date and [...]

Puerto Rico Turns to Silicon Valley to Drive Clinical Interoperability
CommonWell2023-01-31T04:32:54-06:00Since Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico over a year ago, the island has been rebuilding its healthcare infrastructure from the ground up. Federally qualified not-for-profit centers (FQHCs), such as the Puerto Rico Primary Care Association Network (PRPCAN), have played a central role in this process. In 2016, PRPCAN was established to accelerate the adoption of health information technology on the island to improve access to care and reduce costs. Many Puerto Rican healthcare facilities are still not fully operational due physician emigration to the US and physical damages from the hurricane. As a result, patients have struggled to maintain continuity throughout their care journey, and providers are too overwhelmed to comprehensively manage new cases. Clinical interoperability was widely recognized as a fundamental need for rebuilding and scaling an advanced [...]
