A little less than a year ago, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs announced its Veteran Interoperability Pledge – an effort to boost information exchange between its own facilities and participating health systems, with the aim of improving care coordination for veterans receiving care at both the VA and in their communities..

不到一年前，美国退伍军人事务部（U.S.Department of Retainer Affairs）宣布了其退伍军人互操作性承诺，旨在促进其自身设施与参与医疗系统之间的信息交流，旨在改善退伍军人在退伍军人管理局（VA）及其社区接受护理的护理协调。。

More than a dozen major health systems – Emory Healthcare, Inova, Jefferson Health, Sanford Health, UC Davis, Intermountain, Mass General Brigham, Rush Health, Tufts Medicine, Marshfield Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, UPMC and Atrium Health – signed on to the pledge, promising to support its three chief objectives:.

十多个主要卫生系统——埃默里医疗、Inova、Jefferson health、Sanford health、加州大学戴维斯分校、Intermountain、Mass General Brigham、Rush health、Tufts Medicine、Marshfield Clinic、Kaiser Permanente、UPMC和Atrium health——签署了该承诺，承诺支持其三个主要目标：。

Accurately identifying veterans when they seek care from private-sector providers

当退伍军人向私营部门提供者寻求护理时，准确识别他们

Connecting them with VA and community resources that promote health, especially services that lower their out-of-pocket expenses

将他们与VA和社区资源联系起来，促进健康，特别是降低他们自付费用的服务

Coordinating care for shared patients, whether they're enrolled in VA health benefits or not, by exchanging information about care requested and provided.

通过交换有关请求和提供的护理信息，协调对共享患者的护理，无论他们是否参加VA健康福利。

The health systems agreed to enable health system access to: authoritative VA resources for determining veteran status; automation of benefit eligibility determination and referrals; access to identify local, state and federal health resources; clinical and administrative data for quality assessment and care coordination..

卫生系统同意使卫生系统能够获得：用于确定退伍军人身份的权威VA资源；福利资格确定和转介的自动化；识别地方、州和联邦卫生资源的途径；质量评估和护理协调的临床和管理数据。。

They also promised to advance their own implementations of national interoperability standards and privacy and security frameworks related to the exchange and use of health information.

他们还承诺推进国家互操作性标准以及与健康信息交换和使用相关的隐私和安全框架的实施。

This week, the Interoperability Pledge got another big boost – with both Epic and Oracle Health promising that all of their hospital clients will also be able to connect to VA systems for more efficient data sharing.

本周，互操作性承诺得到了另一个巨大的推动，Epic和Oracle Health都承诺，他们所有的医院客户也将能够连接到VA系统，以实现更高效的数据共享。

In a Sept. 18 LinkedIn post, Dr. Shereef Elnahal, under secretary for health at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, announced the big news that 'as of today,' all of the hospital clients of those two major electronic health record vendors 'can connect to VA systems to identify veterans and connect them to earned benefits.'.

美国退伍军人事务部（U.S.Department of Veterans Affairs）卫生部副部长谢里夫·埃尔纳哈尔（Shereef Elnahal）博士在9月18日的LinkedIn帖子中宣布了一个大消息，即“截至今天，这两家主要电子健康记录供应商的所有医院客户都可以连接到退伍军人管理局（VA）系统，以识别退伍军人，并将他们与赚取的福利联系起来。”。

Capitalizing on the promise of open application programing interfaces, both companies 'have made code available to ALL of their hospital and health system customers allowing them to identify Veterans in their workflow by connecting to VA's open API system,' said Elnahal.

Elnahal说，两家公司都利用开放应用程序编程接口的承诺，向所有医院和卫生系统客户提供代码，使他们能够通过连接VA的开放API系统在工作流程中识别退伍军人。

He also offered an update on how some of the participating health systems have advanced interoperability goals since the pledge was first announced in October 2023.

他还介绍了自2023年10月首次宣布承诺以来，一些参与的卫生系统如何推进互操作性目标的最新情况。

Sanford Health, for instance, has identified 12,000 veteran patients using the open API, and is now able to connect them with information that outlines all of the healthcare and benefits they are entitled to through the VA, he said.

例如，桑福德健康公司（SanfordHealth）已经使用开放API识别了12000名退伍军人，现在能够将他们与概述他们有权通过VA获得的所有医疗保健和福利的信息联系起来，他说。

Tufts Medicine, meanwhile, is using the API tool to 'identify veterans in suicidal crisis in their emergency room, connecting them to free coverage by VA for that care and, most importantly, notifying the Boston VA medical center that a Veteran is in need for crucial follow-up care,' said Elnahal.

与此同时，塔夫茨医学公司（Tufts Medicine）正在使用API工具“在急诊室识别自杀危机中的退伍军人，将他们与VA免费提供的护理联系起来，最重要的是，通知波士顿VA医疗中心，一名退伍军人需要关键的后续护理，”Elnahal说。

Marshfield Clinic too has 'connected thousands of Veterans with information on their earned benefits under the PACT Act,' he said.

他说，马什菲尔德诊所（MarshfieldClinic）也“将数千名退伍军人与他们根据《契约法》获得的福利信息联系起来”。

In a separate announcement, Oracle Health applauded Marshfield's early adoption of the API code package, and encouraged its other EHR customers to download and install the code package for free and implement it using their internal IT teams.

在另一项声明中，甲骨文健康部（Oracle Health）赞扬马什菲尔德（Marshfield）早期采用API代码包，并鼓励其其他EHR客户免费下载和安装代码包，并使用其内部it团队实施。

'Enabling data to flow with the patient through their healthcare journey is essential and, in some cases, lifesaving,' said Seema Verma, general manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, in a statement. 'Patients should be confident that any provider they visit can access their records and medical history to help ensure timely and accurate care, and Oracle Health is working to make this a reality for all U.S.

患者应该相信，他们访问的任何提供者都可以访问他们的记录和病史，以帮助确保及时准确的护理，甲骨文健康公司正在努力使这一点成为美国所有人的现实。

This past month, Epic highlighted its own recent work on standards-based interoperability beyond its own customer footprint.

在过去的一个月里，Epic强调了其在基于标准的互操作性方面的最新工作，这些工作超出了其客户范围。

'We've opened up an API so that our customers can allow patients to connect with apps outside of the Epic system,' said Matt Doyle, Epic's interoperability software development lead.

Epic的互操作性软件开发负责人马特·道尔（MattDoyle）说：“我们已经开放了一个API，以便我们的客户可以允许患者连接Epic系统之外的应用程序。”。
