To bring the right information to the right clinician at the right time, the Indiana Network for Patient Care (INPC), Indiana’s major health information exchange (HIE), has embarked on a new journey. Using SMART-on-FHIR technology, the INPC will offer the capability to integrate HIE-based information directly into the workflow of the clinician’s electronic health record.
In INPC's first implementation project, slated to go live in December 2017, emergency room physicians will be able to see chief complaint-specific data from the INPC about their patient directly within Cerner. Using a SMART-on-FHIR app, INPC extends Cerner’s functionality to relieve the clinician from hunting for information in multiple sources and having to leave their natural workflow to do so.
