Our FHIR-First Approach
Health Chain’s commitment to advancing healthcare interoperability is exemplified through our FHIR-First Approach. Our FHIR-First Approach employs a medallion architecture in which data is curated at the moment of consumption rather than relying on traditional, standardized data curation and cleaning processes. This on-demand approach ensures that the right data is available in the right format at the right time, reducing the time and complexity typically associated with data transformation.
Our work with numerous Payers across the country has shown us the common bottlenecks health plans face due to legacy and traditional data processing methods:
Delayed Access to Actionable Data:
Traditional data curation processes often result in delayed access to critical information. Our FHIR-First Approach enables real-time data curation, providing stakeholders with immediate access to relevant and consumable data.
High Costs and Complexity of Data Integration:
Integrating and harmonizing data from multiple sources is often costly and time-consuming. The FHIR-First Approach reduces these complexities by curating data at the point of consumption, streamlining integration and reducing manual intervention.
Inconsistent Data Quality and Usability:
Disparate data sources can lead to inconsistencies that compromise decision-making. Our approach dynamically curates data when needed, ensuring high-quality, relevant, and accurate data across use cases.
Slow Adoption of Regulatory Changes:
The healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, with new regulations requiring rapid adoption. The on-demand curation model allows organizations to stay agile, quickly adjusting their data strategies to meet new compliance standards.
Data Silos Limiting Interoperability:
Data silos prevent seamless information exchange and hinder coordinated care. The FHIR-First Approach facilitates interoperability by breaking down barriers and enabling data to flow freely across systems.
Limited Access to Up-to-Date Patient Insights:
Providers and care teams need current data to make timely decisions. By curating data in real-time, this approach ensures that the latest patient information is always available, supporting more informed and personalized care.
Health Chain’s FHIR-First approach prioritizes flexibility and precision, empowering Payers, Providers, and other stakeholders to access clean, usable data tailored to their specific use cases in real-time. By integrating FHIR standards directly into the core of our platform, Health Chain eliminates the need for extensive pre-processing, allowing data to flow seamlessly from ingestion to application. This dynamic curation model not only accelerates time to insights but also enhances the quality of care being provided by delivering the most relevant and up-to-date information.
Through this approach, Health Chain ensures that data remains interoperable and actionable across the healthcare continuum, supporting more connected and efficient care journeys. Our FHIR-First medallion architecture represents a significant shift toward a more adaptive and responsive data strategy, setting a new standard for how healthcare data is managed and utilized.
