1upHealth Invents Commercial Software That Shares EHR Data at the Population Level

1upHealth, the market leading FHIR platform for claims and clinical data acquisition, exchange, and computation announced its latest software release, including enhancements to its 1up Population Connect offering, enabling customers to query USCDI Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) APIs of the leading EHRs to improve data access and reduce administrative burden of clinical data acquisition efforts.

For decades, health plans have struggled to access the external data needed to support a range of workflows like prior authorization, quality reporting, risk adjustment, care management and more,” said Nolan Kelly, Chief Customer Officer, 1upHealth. “Healthcare has always been about proprietary data formats and flat files batched over SFTP, creating expensive and lengthy custom projects. The rest of the economy doesn’t operate that way, and 1upHealth is making it so healthcare doesn’t operate that way anymore either. With our help, health plan customers can leverage all the investments that have been made around healthcare data standardization and APIs to discover what is possible with fully democratized data.”

In the July Gartner Hype Cycle for U.S. Healthcare Payers, 2023 report, it is noted Clinical Data Integration is important because, “by acquiring and ingesting clinical data directly from provider EHRs, payers can substantially improve their administrative efficiency and reduce costs through better provider/partner alignment, advance population health management capabilities, increase their revenue, and improve total experience. CDI enables timely and efficient care coordination and decision support, as well as meaningful interactions with all ecosystem constituencies.”
