Most health systems don’t suffer from a lack of software — they suffer from too many systems that don’t talk to each other well enough . Advanced healthcare IT is no longer just “going digital”; it’s about designing an architecture where EHRs, ancillary systems, payers, devices, and analytics platforms can exchange data safely and reliably. In my day-to-day work with providers and health-tech teams, “advanced solutions” usually mean interoperable, cloud-ready, standards-based

The 2027 U.S. FHIR mandate (CMS-0057-F) is reshaping how payers, providers, and health IT vendors exchange data and manage prior authorizations. By 2027, impacted health plans must implement FHIR-based APIs for patient access, provider access, payer-to-payer exchange, and electronic prior authorization with strict timelines. We break down what the rule really means in practice and show how Data InterOps helps organizations design, build, and operationalize FHIR-first workflow

The UK is standardising on FHIR UK Core , BaRS (Booking and Referral Standard) , and document & data–sharing patterns  (NRL, Shared Care Records, IHE MHD/MHDS, QEDm). At the same time, many Trusts/ICBs still operate HL7 v2 , EDIFACT via MESH , and XDS SOAP  stacks. Winning teams are taking a pragmatic migration path : keep the lights on for legacy, implement clean  FHIR-first interfaces for new flows, and incrementally backfill mappings (SNOMED CT, dm+d, and where needed LOIN
