Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Healthcare Data, Analytics and AI, 2024
Healthcare analytics involves interpreting large clinical data sets and terminologies, and analyzing them against clinical policies. These data sets come from several EMRs, CDAs (clinical documentation architectures), patient portals, medical devices and third party systems, making ingestion and standardization of data challenging.
Healthcare Analytics on FHIR® makes mega-volume ingestion, structuring, and standardization a simpler and smoother process. This Gartner report expresses the importance of Analytics on FHIR in order to drive efficient and “advanced insights across clinical care, research and public health.” The report lists Smile as a Sample Vendor for this capability that is rapidly on the rise.
How Smile’s Capabilities Accelerate Data Management While Mitigating Obstacles
Ushering in a new era of intelligent analytics that elevate data quality and management requires a shift to fully integrated and interoperable FHIR data systems. Some of the obstacles to deeper analytics outlined in the report include:
Rapid evolution of the HL7® FHIR open standard
Complexity of FHIR architecture
Industry resistance or sluggishness to adopting standards
Smile Digital Health is the maintainer of HAPI FHIR—the world’s prevailing open source reference implementation of FHIR. Smile actively leads and participates in over 31 Implementation Guide (IG) Working Groups including Da Vinci PDex (Payer Data Exchange) and CARIN—the framework that outlines how to integrate third party consumer apps into FHIR in accordance with CMS Patient Access API Rules. So you can trust that as the FHIR standard and associated IGs continue to evolve, Smile’s experts will be leading the charge. Our expertise, combined with experienced implementations, mitigate the complexities and risks of adopting FHIR, while building analytics use-cases that lower costs and deliver better care.
Smile’s enterprise-ready features help organizations comply with CMS and ONC regulations—both current and future. While adoption to FHIR standards may be slow, there is a significant benefit in being ahead of the adoption curve, so organizations can use the mandates as a base, to build an intelligent and responsive data and IT infrastructure that support value-based care.
Smile’s engine is battle-tested in real-world mega-volume implementations. Smile’s engine has successfully ingested over 2 billion FHIR resources in under 26 hours, at a speed of 255,000 transactions per second, returning search queries across payer networks in under 1,000 milli-seconds.
