Change Healthcare to provide free healthcare data interoperability services for all Americans on AWS
Change Healthcare announced free clinical data interoperability services for the healthcare industry. The foundational, infrastructure services, namely record locator service, identity management, and document retrieval solution with protection of patient privacy, support a comprehensive range of use cases. By providing these services, Change Healthcare is paving the way for health IT interoperability that removes cost barriers, meets federally mandated requirements, and enables the potential for innovative offerings to better address value-based payment and consumer needs.
The interoperability services will run on the secure, scalable, and agile Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, providing Change Healthcare with the ability to support better health outcomes, and transparency for patients and clinicians at scale across the United States.
Fundamentally patient-focused, the initiative is designed to enhance patients’ access to their medical records and support clinical decisions that influence medical outcomes. By eliminating cost-prohibitive barriers that have hampered open interoperability, it will help accelerate healthcare data interoperability and reduce providers’ burden by reducing time and effort needed to track down patients’ medical records from various silos across healthcare delivery systems.
