Researchers identified the preferences of a diverse group of patients to create a FHIR-based platform for patient data access that could help boost health equity.
The University of Texas at Austin’s Dell Medical School (Dell Med) has developed a health equity-focused patient engagement platform that supports patient data access through FHIR.
Dell Med developed the tool as a 2019 ONC Leading Edge Acceleration Projects (LEAP) for Health IT program awardee.
The team proposed developing a patient engagement technology platform using application programming interfaces (APIs) and FHIR and SMART on FHIR, the same national standards used by EHRs.
