How FHIRplace Is Testing Interoperability at Real-World Scale
<p>In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/timothybennett"><u>Timothy Bennett</u></a>, the Director of Strategic Healthcare Initiatives at <a href="https://www.drummondgroup.com/"><u>Drummond Group, LLC</u></a>, for his second appearance on the show. With nearly 20 years at Drummond and deep roots in ONC certification testing dating back to 2010, Tim brings a rare long-view perspective to one of the most important questions facing healthcare interoperability today: how do you actually test whether FHIR works at scale in the real world, not just in a proof-of-concept connectathon? This episode introduces FHIRplace, Drummond's new community-driven testing ecosystem, and digs into why business process rules, not just technical standards, are the real challenge standing between FHIR's promise and its production reality. </p><p><strong>In this episode, they talk about:</strong></p><ul><li><p>FHIRplace brings together providers, payers, technology vendors, and intermediaries to test FHIR implementations at real-world scale</p></li><li><p>Testing conformance to a standard is not the same as proving true interoperability between systems</p></li><li><p>Business process rules, like what documentation a health plan requires for prior authorization, sit outside the technical standards but are critical to real-world success</p></li><li><p>Intermediaries are central to FHIRplace's testing model because point-to-point FHIR exchange is not feasible across millions of providers and thousands of health plans</p></li><li><p>FHIRplace captures raw transaction data flowing through intermediaries to evaluate real-world interoperability issues, not just lab conditions</p></li><li><p>HIPAA currently requires X12 for prior authorization, meaning a full replacement by FHIR will take years and likely result in a long-term hybrid approach</p></li><li><p>FHIRplace plans to integrate with conformance tools like Inferno so members can get interoperability testing and standards validation in one place</p></li><li><p>Drummond intends FHIRplace to be a 20-year testing ecosystem, not a short-term solution built around a single regulatory deadline</p></li></ul><p><strong>A Little About Timothy:</strong></p><p>Timothy Bennett serves as Drummond’s Director of Strategic Healthcare Initiatives and leads the development of new testing and certification programs to benefit the national healthcare interoperability strategy. As the former director of the firm’s ONC Accredited Test Lab (ATL), he has been involved in testing electronic health records (EHR) systems since the ONC program's inception in September 2010 and has additionally served as the test lab’s lead technical adviser. Prior to healthcare compliance testing, Timothy facilitated numerous interoperability test programs, specifically the design of secure and private exchange of documents and information using internet and security standards. With a degree in nuclear engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, he has been instrumental in developing, architecting, and testing software systems for more than 30 years. </p><p>Timothy is a governing board member of Shift, a task force of industry stakeholders working through the barriers of equitable interoperability by addressing the obstacles of privatized patient health data exchange. He is actively developing testing and certification protocols for the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard in order to provide the market with comprehensive FHIR certification across the healthcare ecosystem.</p><p>He also actively collaborates with industry leaders in the areas of testing and certifying healthcare compliance of pediatrics, patient safety and usability, FHIR and public health. Finally, Timothy was the principal author of the OASIS AS4 standard, a profile of the ebXML Messaging Services v3.0 specification for secure and private exchange of data using web services.</p>

Why EMS Data Is the Most Underutilized Asset in Your Health System
<p>In this episode of the Interop Now at Vibe series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/joe-graw-4240339"><u>Joe Graw</u></a>, Chief Growth Officer at <a href="https://www.imagetrend.com/"><u>ImageTrend</u></a>, for a fascinating and deeply personal conversation about the data gap that exists between the ambulance and the emergency department. </p><p>Joe has been at ImageTrend for nearly 25 years and brings both an engineer's precision and a genuine personal mission to a topic most health system leaders have never fully considered. With 70 million EMS encounters in ImageTrend's network annually and one in three ED patients arriving via EMS, the pre-hospital data source is too important to ignore. </p><p>From an automated patient-matching algorithm to transport-pattern analytics that signal demand shifts before hospitals feel them operationally, this episode makes a compelling case that EMS data is the earliest and most underutilized demand signal in all of healthcare. </p><p><strong>In this episode, they talk about:</strong></p><ul><li><p>One in three patients arriving in the emergency department comes from EMS, making pre-hospital data one of the most important upstream data sources in healthcare</p></li><li><p>ImageTrend processes nearly 70 million EMS activations annually across its network</p></li><li><p>The NEMSIS standard is used by 100% of EMS and fire departments that treat patients, making it a universal foundation for pre-hospital interoperability</p></li><li><p>Most EMS to hospital data transfer still happens via PDFs, faxes, face sheets, or portal logins, none of which are usable at the point of care</p></li><li><p>ImageTrend's proprietary patient matching algorithm eliminates the need for deterministic fields like MRN numbers, removing a major workflow barrier for paramedics</p></li><li><p>EMS transport patterns are the earliest demand signal in healthcare, revealing referral leakage, access issues, and capacity problems before hospitals feel them operationally</p></li><li><p>Virginia-based health care organization Carilion Clinic is automating 20,000 EMS transports annually into their EHR using ImageTrend, with outcomes data flowing back to EMS agencies to close the quality loop</p></li><li><p>Health systems that treat EMS agencies as strategic data partners rather than just transport services are better positioned to keep care close to home</p></li></ul><p><strong>A Little About Joe:</strong></p><p>Joe’s passion to learn and explore new ideas in the industry is about more than managing the growth of ImageTrend – it’s forward thinking. Engaging in many facets of ImageTrend is part of what drives Joe. He is dedicated to our community, clients, and their use of data to drive results, implement change, and drive improvement in their industries.</p>

How Oneview Healthcare Is Building the Connected Patient Room of the Future
<p>In this episode of the Interop Now at Vibe series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nialloneill/"><u>Niall O'Neill</u></a>, Chief Product Officer at <a href="https://www.oneviewhealthcare.com/"><u>Oneview Healthcare</u></a>, for a warm and insightful conversation about what it actually means to transform the inpatient experience through technology. </p><p>Niall shares the origin story of Oneview, from winning their first US contract against entrenched incumbents at UCSF's Mission Bay Hospital to the launch of Ovie, a digital care assistant that is redefining how patients, families, and care teams connect inside a hospital room.</p><p>From meal ordering to nurse escalation triage to natural language conversations about care plans, this episode paints a vivid picture of what a truly connected patient room looks and feels like and why the language we use to describe it matters more than most people realize.</p><p>(Below is the paragraph submitted with the episode)</p><p>This episode reframes the idea of the “smart patient room” by introducing the Connected Patient Room – not as a product or trend, but as a way to think more clearly about how care actually happens in and around the room. We’ll explore how a digital Care Assistant - Ovie - brings that model to life by connecting patients, families, and care teams through shared, real‑time context. </p><p><strong>Episode Highlights:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Oneview beat major incumbents to win their first US contract at UCSF Mission Bay in 2014, and the market is only now catching up to that original vision</p></li><li><p>McKinsey found that a third of a nurse's day could realistically be saved through technology optimization and delegation</p></li><li><p>Over 80% of patients with access to the Oneview system actively use it, and two-thirds use it beyond entertainment</p></li><li><p>In 2025 alone, over 780,000 meals were ordered through Oneview's patient room tablets and TVs</p></li><li><p>Ovie is the digital care assistant that serves as the brain of the connected patient room, with access to EHR data, care schedules, precautions, and patient interactions</p></li><li><p>Ovie Voice handles natural language questions from patients and families, knowing when to answer and when to escalate to a nurse with full context</p></li><li><p>Ovie Console gives nurses a real-time view of patient interactions embedded directly inside Epic</p></li><li><p>The connected patient room is not about technology first; it is about five capabilities: monitoring, anticipating, connecting, personalizing, and orchestrating</p></li><li><p>CIOs should define the capabilities they need before selecting vendors, not the other way around</p></li></ul><p><strong>A Little About Niall:</strong></p><p>Niall O’Neill is Chief Product Officer at Oneview Healthcare, where he leads product innovation and AI transformation. Previously, as Chief Customer Officer, Niall has played a pivotal role in shaping Oneview’s growth through a blend of customer-centric leadership and technical insight. Before joining Oneview, Niall held consulting roles at Accenture and Deloitte. He holds a BA in English Studies and an MSc in Multimedia Systems. </p><p><br></p>
