Healthcare Innovation Through The Lens Of Interoperability And Privacy
Mifan Careem is Vice President and Head of Solutions Architecture and Head of Healthcare Solutions at WSO2. Concentrated doctor working with laptop at desk in office GETTY Dwight D. Eisenhower is often attributed with the following quote: “The things that are urgent are seldom important, and the things that are important are seldom urgent.” Healthcare organizations have known that interoperability is key for innovation, although not many organizations have prioritized the implementation part of it. The impact of the pandemic flipped this well-known adage on its head for healthcare innovation though, as interoperability and data access became the No. 1 priority overnight for healthcare organizations and consumers. The pandemic has accelerated consumer demand for newer and innovative healthcare solutions like never before. From telemedicine and digital front doors to aggregated health data apps, healthcare organizations are competing to better serve their consumer base with compelling digital solutions. And providers, payers, healthcare app developers and tech giants are scrambling to provide consumers with innovative solutions. McKinsey estimates that global digital-health revenues will rise from $350bn in 2019 to $600bn in 2024. Interoperability is a key driver for Innovation in healthcare. Accessibility and availability of the right data is the first step in innovation. Supporting a 360-degree aggregated view of a patient or member requires data pulled in from multiple sources, mostly from the user’s hospital and electronic health record systems, health insurance and claim management systems, wearable devices such as the Apple Watch and Fitbit, healthcare apps such as Apple Health or Epic MyChart, etc. This means access to multiple systems across multiple organizational boundaries. This requires the custodians of the data to expose accurate, timely information in a secure and controlled manner using a common language, whilst authorized users of the information such as providers should have the ability to pull (or push in some cases) data from multiple sources, integrate and augment the data and expose this data as aggregated information to a broader audience. Initiatives to promote interoperability have been in place since before the pandemic, although their importance and need are really being felt now. Application programming interfaces (APIs) and a widely accepted canonical model are the natural first steps for this integration ecosystem.

Attacks On Healthcare Sector Are On The Rise
According to Bitglass, a US-based provider of threat protection services, the number of reported healthcare breaches reached 599 in 2020, a 55.1% spike compared to 2019. Hacking and IT incidents accounted for the vast majority of these incidents, exposing personally identifiable information of more than 24 million individuals. Medical facilities in California were hit the most, with the number of incidents totaling 49. Texas, with 43 breaches, ranked second in this unsettling rating. The statistic was slightly lower for New York (39 incidents). Florida and Pennsylvania ended up in the same boat, each with 38 documented breaches. Looking at the report from a different angle, cyber-attacks against healthcare organizations in Michigan affected the largest number of individuals across the board. That is largely due to a massive data breach suffered by the state’s Trinity Health system last spring. It exposed full names, addresses, insurance details, and contact information of 3.3 million patients.
