FHIR & The Art of the Possible

In this video series, 1upHealth’s Nolan Kelly and Kevin Yamashita explore what’s possible with FHIR, including real-world scenarios from across our base of 80+ enterprise organizations.

Nolan & Kevin - Art of the Possible

In this first episode, Nolan and Kevin:

  • Introduce the 1upHealth Customer Enablement team and their focus on helping our customers derive business value from their technology investment.
  • Define computable interoperability and the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of FHIR “data on demand”.
  • Discuss the evolving compliance landscape and the “forcing function” of this next wave of CMS regulations as an opportunity to innovate and leapfrog competition.
  • Share examples of strategic thinking and data-driven decision making, including a midsize health plan’s focus on ACO relationships and value-based care, as well as a state Medicaid agency’s approach to enhancing care delivery for a significant portion of their population.

In this second episode, Nolan and Kevin discuss how FHIR and the recent CMS interoperability regulations are impacting the industry, including:

  • Changes to the way provider and payer organizations operate.
  • Increases in the number and type of data trading partners in the healthcare space.
  • Improvements to data quality, timeliness, and completeness (like longitudinal patient records).

In this third episode, Nolan and Kevin discuss macro trends impacting the industry and making the Art of the Necessary, well, necessary, including:

  • The impact of increased utilization on Medicare Advantage (MA) plans.
  • The recent 2024 Medicare Advantage and Part D Rate announcement and what it signals to the industry.
  • The large number of providers dropping or considering dropping MA plans.
  • The burden of high deductibles and cost sharing on insured consumers, leading to postponed care and medication rationing.
