We all understand how critical effective health data exchange is for enhancing care quality, lowering costs, and reducing care-giver burnout.

Unfortunately, though, many complexities arise due to today’s massive healthcare ecosystem that encompasses many stakeholders including hospitals, clinics, insurance providers, and patients.

Another challenge is making sense of the health data exchange-related rules from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). However, according to this recent Healthcare Finance article, there is also a sense of optimism around the rules, and industry providers are helping to pave the way forward.

For example, the article highlights how organizations such as the Sequoia Project and Carequality are helping to facilitate payer-to-payer data exchange.

In a recent Health Data Management article, the healthcare industry will continue to be driven by two key motivating factors – interoperability and patient privacy. This article discusses how the CMS rules are actually addressing the major problem points that rankle providers and payers.

It’s also important to remember the vendor community’s role in advancing health data exchange – to grant easy access to patient health records.

Thanks to RosettaHealth’s new GetPatientRecords offering, it is possible to simplify access to electronic medical records anywhere in the nation through a straightforward integration.  

GetPatientRecords facilitates effective care by providing instant and secure access to vital patient information without the need for manual processes, individual interfaces, EHRs or heavy HIT systems.

The new offering removes the demand for extensive paperwork, patient consents, technical expertise, and adherence to strict access permissions and security protocols. GetPatientRecords streamlines this process, by enabling patient queries using just patient names and geographic areas.
