Do business the FHIR way - with the FHIR Business Alliance (FHIRBall)
Summary
The four industry-leading companies are teaming up to promote a more expedient transition to FHIR which offers considerable advantages over existing standards in healthcare. The FHIR Business Alliance now joins forces to market the companies’ FHIR-based tools and solutions because they believe every health care organization and patient deserves the best that technology has to offer. 1upHealth, AEGIS, Firely, and Smile CDR will cooperate on joint marketing, with the goal of demonstrating that a community based approach is the way forward. “Multiple organizations are starting to embrace FHIR, and with FHIRBall, we are planning on expanding the scope to additional use cases across payers, research, and pharma,” said Ricky Sahu from 1upHealth. About 1upHealth: As a leader in FHIR interoperability, 1upHealth focuses on bridging the gap between patient centered data and provider needs, thus creating a platform for patients to aggregate and share medical data from external health systems and wearable devices with providers enabling improved healthcare outcomes and lower costs.
