The Indiana health information exchange (IHIE) and the Indiana Network for Patient Care (INPC), has been guiding doctors in patient care for almost two decades. With Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a new and dynamic standard for accessing data in electronic health records (EHR), the INPC is bringing its utility to the next level. In a pilot project using SMART-on-FHIR technology, we are beginning to turn the INPC from data repository into a proactive assistant for emergency room physicians in Indiana. Focusing on managing chest pain patients in the emergency room, the new SMART app brings information from the INPC directly to the user at the point of care without forcing them to alter their workflow. 

 

Join top researcher and expert Dr. Matthias Kochmann, as he highlights the use case for SMART on FHIR applications at Regenstrief, and tremendous potential for FHIR to aggregate information from different sources into a patient-centric electronic health record.
