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.
Living at the intersection of health care, technology and data science, you’ll find the Integrated Health Model Initiative (IHMI) squarely placed and gaining traction. By enabling, creating and applying common standards, our mission is to build a thriving, open health care community, respond to market needs at the pace of innovation, and share our learnings as freely available data portability standards.
America generates more health care data than ever, yet the most meaningful data are often inaccessible or incomplete. As part of our mission AMA seeks to move medicine forward by driving improvements within health care data interoperability. IHMI’s vision IHMI’s vision is to:
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.
To solve health care interoperability, two fundamental challenges exist: data liquidity and data portability. IHMI will focus on solutions that advance data portability.
Data Liquidity
Data Portability
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.
IHMI develops open data standards and welcomes engagement with collaborators that wish to participate in the development, testing, and in-practice use of IHMI data standards. IHMI welcomes feedback from all individuals and organizations across the healthcare industry that wish to assist in making health data useful and actionable through the development of data portability standards. Collaboration does not imply and is not intended as a promotion or endorsement by the American Medical Association (AMA) of any third-party organization, product, or service.
