Four things to know:
1. IHMI’s Self-Measured Blood Pressure Data Model is designed to standardize clinically relevant information for advanced blood pressure monitoring devices. The model aims to define what data to collect, select how to represent the collected data, and determine how to encode data for easy transmission, exchange and retrieval.
2. IHMI has finalized product integration agreements for the new model with three health technology companies: Higi, HealthSteps and Cloud DX.
3. “For too long, clinicians have struggled to navigate a landscape with oceans of data but puddles of information,” IHMI Chief Medical Information Officer Tom Giannulli, MD, said in a news release. “The ability to harness patient-generated health data from a multitude of sources has come of age and will empower patients and physicians to find and leverage meaningful data to improve health.”
4. IHMI, founded by the AMA, specializes in the development of common data standards to enhance information sharing between health systems.
