The Challenge
Health care is the most complex and confusing system in the world!
Rocket science is not healthcare.
International
The Healthcare System Is Broken!
• Lack of communication• Between clinicians
• Between clinicians and patients
• Lack of interoperability
• Systems are siloed
• Systems are out of date
• Medical errors are the 2nd leading cause of death
International
The Biography of HL7, Version 2• Courtship of niche vendors who wanted to create a Hospital
Information System with Best of Breed components
• Competition was IEEE group called MEDIX who wanted to build a more comprehensive model-based system
• Conception and birth at Hospital University of Pennsylvania
• Appearance argument between position defined with delimiters versus XML tags
• Implementation was mostly within hospital and by the people who defined the standard.
• Developers = implementers = users
International
The teenage years of v2
• Small membership; fought for recognition; largely ignored
• With demonstrations at HIMSS, we began to attract more vendor membership. CDC became a visible and active member.
• Most implementation was in home grown systems.
• Flexibility provided through Z segments.
• Format and syntax was easy to understand.
International
The adult years
• As the sharing of data increased and the electronic storage of data increased, so did the use of v2.
• Even now, v2 is still used in most hospitals in the US.
• v2’s sibling, Version 3, reverted back to the model-driven approach. The complexity was too difficult not only to use, but to understand.
• CDA provided a more templated approach that was easy to understand and implemented but was not flexible.
International
The world is changing at an exponential rate!
Change creates new technology, new initiatives, and new stakeholders who are beginning to recognize that the future requires the use of standards to accomplish goals.
Change provides hope for the future!
Health and healthcare are undergoing more changes and at a faster pace than ever before in history.
And along came FHIR®
The timing was perfect.The stars were aligned!

How is FHIR influencing the future?
FHIR is helping to open up the world. All these new initiatives and changes require the seamless flow of data. FHIR and its partner standards are opening the doors to enable the best health ever. At HIMSS 2019, FHIR was the talk of the town. Endorsements by ONC, CMS, CDC, HHS, the EHR vendor community and many others show the expanse of the impact of FHIR.
International
FHIR is more than a standard! FHIR has created momentum for data sharing through interoperability.

National Initiatives
• Precision Medicine
• Population Health
• Digital Health
• Mobile Health
• Patient-centered EHR
• Health Information
Exchange
• Big Data to Knowledge
• Consumer Engagement
• 21st Century Cures –
Apps
• Learning Health Systems
• Big Data to Knowledge
• Wearable Sensors/IOT
• Data Registries
• Computable Knowledge
• Virtual/Mixed/Augmented
Reality
Requirements• Data Liquidity
• Directed data sharing
• Health data standards
INTEROPERABILITY
• Describes the extent to which systems
and devices can exchange data and
interpret that shared data. For two
systems to be interoperable, they must be
able to exchange data and subsequently
present that data such that it can be
understood by a user.
HIMSS
INTEROPERABILITY
• Foundational interoperability
– the ability of one IT system to send data to another IT system
– Basic tier of interoperability
• Structural interoperability
– the uniform movement of healthcare data from one system to another such that the clinical or
operational purpose and meaning of the data is preserved and unaltered
– the recipient system should be able to interpret information at the data field level.
• Semantic Interoperability
– the ability of health IT systems to exchange and interpret information — then actively use the
information that has been exchanged.
– Highest level of interoperability
HIMSS definitions
International
Where is the patient’s data I want?
• Universal Person Identifier
• Common data model
• Unique and atomic data elements
• Consistency in how collected, how represented, units, structure
• Consistency terminology
• Quality checked with data entry
• Document identification
• Common templates
• Common transport
Problems to solve
• Patient matching – universal patient identifiers
• Common language – global acceptance;
everybody in; everybody use
• Increased data quality and trust
• Learning Health
• Increased Clinical Decision Support
• FHIR must support the right data for the
right patient at the right time for the right
reason.
Today everything is a source of data
Public Health
REQUIRES• Data Liquidity
• Data Sharing
• Data Standards
Policy, process, and focus change
• Policies of data sharing and patient-centric EHRs
create Big Data with clinical research producing
new knowledge.
• Site focus shift to the patient: telemedicine
• New types of data including behavioral, social,
economic, genomic, environmental plus clinical.
• Increased focus on patient/consumer
– Consumer engagement – population health
– Personalization of care – precision medicine
– Patient reported data

Mobile Devices• The ubiquity of smart phones has changed
communications between and among groups.
A virtual visit will replace an office visit.
• Wearable sensors will give real time data about
the person resulting in early interventions.
• Smart phone apps can be used for data
collection by text, check boxes, and
photographs with sufficient resolution to make
clinical diagnoses in many areas such as
dermatology.
• Smart phones can be used for education,
behavior modification, and more.
Brick and mortar institutions
will be replaced by virtual
healthcare systems.
• Big Data is a consequence of more things that create
data and more initiatives to merge data.
• For a single patient, we are talking about petabytes
of data; for a aggregated database of multiple
patients, we are talking about exabytes or more.
• Computable knowledge is an award of Big Data.
• Requires new and innovative methods of analyses to
create new knowledge
• NoSQL databases making their appearances
to provide higher speed necessary for analyses.
– Hadoop, mongoDB, others
Big Data and Its Impact
In 2017, we created 44
zettabytes of new data
daily.

Bulk Data on FHIR
• The technology & policy for exchanging
records from an unlimited number of patients
or study subjects
• Developed cooperatively with Boston
Children’s Hospital / Harvard
• Supports data analytics for population health,
value-based care, clinical trial design and
pharmaco-vigilance.

Feedback of requirements
New Disruptive Innovation Requirements
• More sophisticated use of decision support
• Integration of images and enhanced use
• Biomarkers and genomics
• Social determinants of health
• Automation of Clinical Research
• Partnered APPs to tell a complete story
Decision Making
• The amount of data and the
kinds of data influencing health
and health care has far
exceeded the ability of the
human brain to make fact based
decisions.
• Therefore, most health care
decisions will be made by
computers and executed directly
without human engagement.
The Second Machine Age
• Cognitive Computing
• Machine Learning
• Deep Learning
• Artificial Intelligence
Roles for Avatars• Counselors
• Educators
• Companions
• Caregivers
Tomorrow’s Nurse
Companion for
aged persons
A glance at the future
• Today’s surgeons use 2D images taken by X-
ray, ultrasound and MRI for surgical planning.
These images may not reveal complex internal
structures and complications in the heart’s
chambers.
• In a new project, surgeons use 3D printed
hearts to plan for difficult surgeries for patients
born with complicated heart disorders. The
heart models were created using the X3D Open
ISO Standard.
The art of the future possible
• The volume of data, the variety of data types, the increasing wealth of knowledge, and the ability to track disease and co-morbidities from start to finish will overpower the ability of humans to make informed decisions about health and health care.
• Computers will not only become the decision makers but will carry out the decisions directly.
• The role of the human clinician will change to being an interface between computers and patients, and that may only be a temporary step.
• Most humans will be replaced in healthcare systems.
• To resist is futile.
