Improving patient health outcomes by empowering physicians with the clinically valid health care data needed to make informed clinical decisions.
Improving patient health outcomes by empowering physicians with the clinically valid health care data needed to make informed clinical decisions.
At the intersection of health care, technology and data science, you’ll find IHMI. By enabling, creating and applying common standards, our mission is to build and support thriving, open health care communities, respond to market needs with digital tools at the pace of innovation, and share our learnings as freely available data portability standards.
A data-driven problem
There is a massive volume of newly generated health data forthcoming via the internet of things (IoT) explosion, presenting a need to normalize, aggregate and join specific data elements across disparate sources to better manage population health.
Focus on data portability
To solve health care interoperability, two fundamental challenges exist: data liquidity and data portability.
1. Data Liquidity – tackling in collaboration with HL7® FHIR®
2. Data Portability – aiming to bring consistency, clinical prioritization and validation to FHIR® standard development
Through collaboration with HL7® FHIR®, IHMI is addressing liquidity challenges. IHMI will focus on developing FHIR® solutions that advance data portability across key clinical domains.
Digital tools to drive adoption
Standards and policy can’t solve data portability problems alone. IHMI is building SMART® on FHIR® apps and other data products to increase adoption of standards and improve access to clinically valid data.
Why the American Medical Association?
The AMA has the unique ability to convene medicine and technology around market-driven solutions that are meaningful to clinical practice. We represent the interests of patients and physicians across the house of medicine, serve as an honest broker and leverage our proven track record as an organization with stamina and sustainable leadership.
