PenRad is engaged in a web based solution.

PenRad is a strategic member of HL7 FHIR. PenRad contributes at the US and international level in CIMI (Clinical Information Modeling Initiative), CDS (Clinical Decision Support), and Vocabulary committees. PenRad’s goal is to advance the timeline, and the standards of data architecture and infrastructure. Medical reports will be structured and exchanged in FHIR, consisting of millions of ID combinations in SNOMED CT and LOINC expressions, as medical records move away from free text. Future payment models are based on MIPS and MACRA, using FHIR structures to perform the analytics. Our goal is to have our clients participate in the financial incentives as soon as offered by the ONC.

We look forward to joining you on Wednesdays for our lunch series to showcase the latest and greatest from PenRad. Please email [email protected] to sign-up for a webinar session.
