Health IT Innovators Present MyLinks at Health 2.0 11th Fall Conference

September 28, 2017
Debi Willis will be presenting MyLinks at the Health 2.0 conference along with Dr. Don Rucker of the ONC, Paul Black CEO of Allscripts, Ryan Howells of the CARIN Alliance, and several other prominent Health IT leaders.

MyLinks uses the newest interoperability standards to help patients gather and share their medical records among their full care team.

App developers demo ways to capitalize on emerging data sharing standard

March 21, 2017
Health Data Management – While Health Level 7® International’s Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) is still emerging as a mature standard, app developers have widely embraced HL7’s FHIR in many current use cases.

Health IT vendors see FHIR as a critical component to solving the complex interoperability challenges that are confronting healthcare organizations. Ultimately, they view their respective efforts as creating an ecosystem of third-party apps that will serve to increase consumer access to their health records through the open FHIR application programming interface.

“The real part about patient empowerment, is patients armed with their data. That is the ultimate part of this. Patients can take their data and take it somewhere else, and do with it what they want.”
