This blog takes you through the highlights of the HTI-1 program and how ONC will be enforcing the (g)(10) FHIR API requirement. It focuses on requirements EHRs and certified health IT modules must meet by the Dec 31, 2024 deadline. We’ve also included an HTI-1 readiness checklist for convenience.

ONC’s Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability (HTI-1) final rule was enacted on March 11, 2024, and since then has been the front and center of all news in healthcare IT.  A particular section of the HTI-1 rule, Decision Support Intervention (DSI), has been the primary focus. In this blog, we will unpack what DSI is and what it means for EHRs and AI App Developers.

Darena Solutions achieved significant milestones in 2023, including the launch of the MeldRx platform that streamlines app integration with EHRs using SMART-on-FHIR APIs and forged strategic alliances for app verification programs. Darena’s continued commitment to making healthcare app development and consumption easier lays a strong foundation for future growth.

In a significant move to address the growing demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, Darena Solutions, in collaboration with Leidos and SLI Compliance, today unveiled a new industry-leading initiative: a robust verification process tailored for AI applications built using Substitutable Medical Applications and Reusable Technologies (SMART) on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).

Darena Solutions, a leader in healthcare clinical, analytics, and regulatory solutions, today announced the launch of MeldRx™, a platform to simplify the development, testing, and deployment of apps based on the SMART specification.

With the introduction of the HL7® FHIR® standard, accessing patient health records has become easier than ever before. When FHIR is combined with the power of artificial intelligence language models such as ChatGPT, the results are nothing short of amazing. In this blog, we explore the possibilities of interpreting patient FHIR records with the MeldRx Chat powered by ChatGPT. In the accompanying video, we showcase how patients can receive real-time assistance in understanding complex medical terminologies, test results, and treatment options. We believe that collaboration is the key to driving innovation and advancing healthcare. Join us in the movement towards a more connected and patient-centric healthcare system with ChatGPT and FHIR.

January 1, 2023, is not just the beginning of a new year, it is also the beginning of the enforcement period for the Information Blocking portion of the Cures Act. The EHRs must provide FHIR APIs for all their users, and Providers must ensure that their FHIR API endpoints are publicly available.

You might be misinformed if you think you are required to do a Live Test with your ONC-ATB before December to test the (g)(10) FHIR-based API. Integrate with BlueButtonPRO, a pre-certified (g)(10) application, and avoid live testing.

The ONC has announced its punitive action plan to deal with non-compliant Health IT developers. EHRs failing compliance will undergo Direct Review, have to submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and will be placed under a Certification Ban till they become compliant. Integrating with (g)(10) pre-certified BlueButtonPRO is an easy solution.

Tune in to the message the ONC is broadcasting through their recent blogs/media to reinforce the need for (g)(10) FHIR® API and Information Blocking compliance, whom these apply to, and how the mandates will be enforced. Let’s turn up the volume on the latest hits from ONC.

Do you have a game plan ready to have a (g)(10) FHIR-based API in place for the fast-approaching December 31st, 2022 deadline? We have assembled a comprehensive checklist of items you should consider for making an informed decision.

The misinformation floating around combined with an incomplete understanding of the (g)(10) FHIR API and other Cures Act requirements can be detrimental to the EHR developers and the providers. In this blog, we bust these myths, shatter misconceptions, and guide you to ask the right questions.

With the Cures Act deadlines around the corner, the focus has been on “how” to meet the requirements, and not “why”. Let’s not forget that each one of us will be a patient at some point in our lives. When we are the patient, we want Health IT to work for us. We need access to our health data for that and Cures Act makes it possible. This personal experience will make that evident.

EHRs are feeling the heat of Cures Act requirements as the deadlines draw closer. Read on to find answers to burning questions that EHR developers and providers are faced with as they are trying to understand the implementation details of the (g)(10) FHIR API and its implications.

The final implementation phase of the most stringent requirements of the Cures Act has already begun and everyone in Healthcare IT can feel the heat of FHIR® rising. No more delays are likely in the enforcement of the ONC and the CMS rule. If you're trying to find the quickest and shortest path to meeting the Cures Act requirements let us show you SMART® approach and how to leverage the power of FHIR.

As the Cures Act deadlines draw closer, many EHRs find themselves in the ring of FHIR, whether it be Information Blocking, Real World Testing, or the (g)(10) FHIR API certification. Continue to read to learn about different elements of Cures Update and how you can jump through them successfully.

As the clock ticks away, some of the Cures Act milestones have been realized (Information Blocking, USCDI V1, RWT), while others are approaching fast including the (g)(10) FHIR API. Would you be able to get (g) (10) certified by the Dec 31, 2022, deadline? Discover a Better Way for Your EHR’s 2015 Cures Update Certification Maintenance with Darena Solutions.
