AWS HealthLake expands search parameter support

Today, AWS HealthLake added 28 new search parameters needed for payor workflows. HealthLake is a HIPAA-eligible service offering healthcare companies a complete view of individual and patient population health data using Fast Healthcare Interoperable Resources (FHIR) API based transactions to securely store and transform their data into a queryable format at petabyte scale. With this release, customers can now use over 1,400 search parameters to enrich their healthcare software applications.

In the context of healthcare and patient access APIs, search parameters allow users to create feature rich applications by searching for a patients medical history like appointments, lab specimens, vision prescriptions, family member history or explanation of benefits (EOB). This ability is critical for medical insurance companies. For example, health insurance companies provide their members an EOB document to explain the costs and benefits associated with a medical service or treatment. By incorporating EOB data into HealthLake, healthcare organizations can use FHIR APIs to enhance the overall patient experience, providing individuals with comprehensive information about the financial aspects of their healthcare, promoting transparency, and facilitating better financial planning.

AWS HealthLake is available in US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Asia Pacific (Mumbai).
