Description
The Office of the National Coordinator Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Improve the Interoperability of Health Information shines increased attention on the use of standardized application programming interfaces (APIs). Our current-state assessment identified key issues with implications for the continued advancement of APIs: a robust normative FHIR® standard; expansion of the Common Clinical Data Set to other clinical and administrative data; 3) enhanced support for write implementation; and 4) data provenance and governance rules and guidelines.
Learning Objective: After participating in this session, the learner should be better able to:
● Understand the current health care application programming interface (API) and application ecosystem
● Learn the challenges and opportunities to promoting write APIs
● Learn the challenges and opportunities to increasing the development of patient-facing applications
● Learn the costs considerations associated with API design, implementation, and use
