We've got some exciting things released this month! *queue the 🎉 please*
It’s no secret that data interoperability has transformed every other industry from travel to retail, and now it’s healthcare’s turn. Healthcare data is messy, proprietary, difficult to access, and often in paper form. This results in higher costs, suboptimal outcomes, and a disappointing experience. In the US alone we spend 5x more on healthcare than any other developed nation, yet we don’t even have better life expectancy to show for it. It’s time to change things for the better.
Check out all of the exiting products we have as part of our FHIR API Platform.

This is the first time we actually have clinical and claims in one data model, in one repository. You're now able to run both claims analytics or population level analytics against it, so that what you're starting to do with this current, timely, comprehensive data is get better outcomes - said Joe Gagnon
Speaking at the session "FHIR® is the Future of Healthcare, But Payers Need More" at HIMSS22 in Orlando, 1upHealth Chief Strategy Office, Dr. Don Rucker said that while healthcare has traditionally had its own standards when it comes to data and data exchange, FHIR® was built on the standards of the internet, and so for the first time, those in the industry get to use the tools of the broader economy, "which, if you're a computer nerd, is very exciting," he said.
