How To FHIR Enable Your Legacy Healthcare Data

70% of a healthcare organization’s data is trapped in legacy applications. As these applications do not support current data standards, such as FHIR, how can providers ensure easy access to this data for the needs of modern healthcare organizations?

That’s the topic for this discussion between BridgeHead’s Jamie Clifton, Head of Innovation and Research, and Tim Kaschinske, Product Manager for HealthStore®.

In this conversation, Jamie and Tim cover:

• The challenges of accessing data siloed in legacy applications
• How to aggregate, manage, and harness data from disparate legacy systems found across the healthcare enterprise
• What are the limitations of accessing, displaying, and leveraging legacy data from static documents (such as PDFs)? How can FHIR help?
• How interoperability standards, such as FHIR, can help to create a 360-degree view of a patient
• Distinguishing the need to simply store data (for retention and compliance) and making data available as part of the longitudinal patient record
• What’s the relationship with between FHIR and HL7 in the new world?
