TPIsoftware Wins "Taiwan SMART 50 Award" for Its FHIR-Based Medical AI Application
Summary
TPIsoftware won the Taiwan SMART 50 Award for developing a medical AI application based on the FHIR standard. This achievement promotes secure and real-time data sharing across hospitals, contributing to improved data interoperability in Taiwan's healthcare sector.
Details
TPIsoftware was honored with the first Taiwan SMART 50 Award for creating an AI-powered procedural coding tool, a module within its digiCare healthcare solution. The award, organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, encourages smart health app development aligned with the SMART on FHIR standard to enable secure and real-time data sharing across different hospitals. The procedural coding app utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify clinical details—such as whether a contrast agent was applied or specific anatomical sites in a radiology report. It generates suggested codes, which medical professionals can then review and manually revise. This automated workflow improves coding accuracy, reduces denied claims, and ensures compliance with ICD-10-PCS and DICOM. Crucially, the tool is compatible with existing systems like EHR (Electronic Health Records) and HIS (Hospital Information Systems), streamlining the data entry process and allowing staff to focus on complex patient care journeys. TPIsoftware stated its commitment to building Taiwan's national database aligned with the TW Core Implementation Guide (IG) and FHIR standard, following the model of the US All of Us Research Program. This recognition highlights TPIsoftware’s R&D capacity in supporting healthcare transformation, enabling hospitals and medical centers to provide high-quality care with greater consistency, security, and plug-and-play simplicity.
