Patient Matching on #FHIR Event at HIMSS

Feb 13, 2016

In a couple of weeks I’m off to HIMSS at Los Vegas. I’m certainly going to be busy while I’m there (If you’re hoping to talk to me, it would be best to email me to set up a time). Before HIMSS, there’s several satellite events: * Saturday: Health Informatics on FHIR: Opportunities in the New Age of Interoperability (IEEE)

  • Sunday: Patient Matching on FHIR event (HIMSS)
  • Monday: First joint meeting between HEART/UMA & FHIR/SMART teams - if you want to attend this meeting, let me know by email (there’s a couple of places still open)

About the Sunday meeting, quoting from the announcement:

Previous work included a Patient Testing Matching Event on this idea was developed at an event in Cleveland, OH on August 14th, 2015 at the HIMSS Innovation Center.  The event covered a tutorial on FHIR along with sessions on patient matching.  A key takeaway from the event was that the healthcare community can advance interoperability by working on a standard Application Programming Interface (API) for master patient index software, commonly used to facilitate patient data matching.

In fulfillment of this vision, we are hosting this**second Patient Matching on FHIR Workshop**in conjunction with the HIMSS 16 Annual Conference in Las Vegas.  We invite:

─         Algorithm vendors ─         EMR vendors, ─         Developers and standards experts ─         All interested parties

So, here’s passing on the invitation - see you there!

ps. I’ll pass on information about the IEEE event when I get a link.
