Initial Real-World Pilot of the MedMorph Reference Architecture: Hepatitis C Surveillance and Research
Initial results indicate potential for long-term reduction of level of effort of reporting while improving the availability and completeness of clinical data for public health surveillance and research. Using a FHIR-based approach that aligns with regulatory health information technology certification requirements and existing infrastructure may reduce implementation burden. The MedMorph approach can enhance public health surveillance and research, resulting in improved data completeness and reduced reporting burden through automated data exchange using industry standards. MedMorph will continue to inform Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Data Strategy, which provides the agency's direction for data modernization.
