Project Is Collaboration with the Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information Technology
Get Real Health, a member of the CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI) family of
companies and a provider of comprehensive patient engagement tools,
announced today that it participated in the Advancing Standards in
Precision Medicine (ASPM) project pilot. The project, a
collaboration between the Office of the National Coordinator for
Health Information Technology (ONC) and the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) All of Us Research Program (All of Us), actively
supports safe and secure access to and sharing of emerging health
data. The project’s objective is to expedite the success of the
Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI), a nationwide initiative to
move away from the “one-size-fits-all” approach to healthcare
delivery toward tailored treatment and prevention strategies based
on an individual’s unique characteristics, including environment,
lifestyle, and biology.
Audacious Inquiry, an industry-shaping health information
technology and policy company, coordinated participation in the
pilot. Get Real Health’s role, featured in the Mobile Health,
Sensors and Wearables section of the pilot, focused on establishing
the ways in which patient health data can be shared between
personal devices and electronic health record (EHR) systems.
athenahealth, a leading provider of network-enabled software and
services for medical groups and health systems nationwide, provided
the EHR system that received device data and incorporated it into
the EHR system using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources
(FHIR®).
“One of the challenges we faced in this project was the ability
of others to participate in piloting the FHIR specifications in the
face of other infrastructure changes last year,” said Keith Boone,
enterprise architect at Audacious Inquiry. “Get Real Health was
able to demonstrate the use of FHIR for remote patient monitoring
using mobile health devices with existing software products already
on the market. Their technical team really understands the
challenges that healthcare providers face when integrating patient
facing features with EHR systems, and as a result, we were able to
complete this proof-of-concept testing.”
The pilot yielded significant findings in the areas of
interoperability and data sharing. The report stated, in part, “The
Get Real Health and athenahealth demonstration successfully showed
how data can be captured from a patient’s consumer device(s) and
shared with a provider. Due to Get Real Health’s ability to connect
to a wide variety of consumer devices (connected through
third-party APIs), the project was able to demonstrate the ability
to capture and share consumer device data measuring several risk
factors (e.g., temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and
weight).”
“We were thrilled to participate in this pilot to further the
ONC’s mission of individualized, patient-centric care,” said Robin
Wiener, president of Get Real Health. “It was no surprise to us
that the project was a success, as our platform’s architecture can
facilitate this type of integration, which empowers patients and
providers in a collaborative, meaningful care environment.”
The report also sets out next steps in achieving the goal of
Precision Medicine delivery, including improved data sharing
standards among device companies and an expanded list of data types
beyond vital statistics captured on routine wearables.
“This pilot is an important start on the path to Precision
Medicine,” added Wiener. “Our product road map and development plan
are aligned with the recommendations for advancing standards in
this report.” The final report may be found here.
