Clover Assistant Now Supports All FHIR-Enabled EHRs
10 August 2021 - 11:00PM
Today, Clover Health (Nasdaq: CLOV) (“Clover”), a technology
company committed to improving health equity for America’s
underserved seniors, is proud to announce support of FHIR (Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources) in the Clover Assistant.
Clover continues to invest in platform capabilities that advance
adoption of FHIR, and now the Clover Assistant has the technical
foundation to facilitate integrations with all FHIR-enabled EHRs
(Electronic Health Records), such as athenahealth, Cerner and Epic,
as well as any cloud platform with centralized FHIR storage,
including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
Clover is continuing to develop highly intuitive integrations
within each EHR and cloud service. Embracing these interoperability
standards is a demonstration of Clover’s commitment to breaking
down healthcare data silos with the goal of bringing personalized,
data-driven recommendations to physicians at the point of care.
“We knew it was critical to embrace FHIR core standards as we
continue to scale rapidly across the US, because the ease of
integration will help bring the Clover Assistant to any
provider––regardless of the EHR they use,” said Andrew Toy,
President of Clover Health. “We believe this has great implications
for the overall efficiency of the healthcare system and will
ultimately lead to better, more personalized care for
patients.”
FHIR enables new capabilities within the Clover
Assistant
FHIR increases the speed and specificity of recommendations
within the Clover Assistant and enables entirely new functionality
due to the expedited push and pull of clinical data from EHR
systems. The first new feature made possible by FHIR allows primary
care physicians using the Clover Assistant, and those who have
integrated it into their existing EHR, to reduce patients’
medication burden through a process called deprescribing.
Deprescribing is the clinically supervised process of dose
reduction or discontinuation of medications that might be harmful
or no longer beneficial to the patient. According to Georgetown
University’s Health Policy Institute, those over the age of 65 are
prescribed 20 prescription drugs per year on average, often by
different clinicians.
Now, physicians can see the patient’s personalized medication
regimen, and highlighted opportunities to simplify it. This new
functionality is expected to give physicians the information they
need to help patients avoid clinical risks due to prescription side
effects and drug interactions, as well as reduce patients’
financial burden.
“For people managing multiple chronic conditions, it is
challenging to keep up with the latest treatment recommendations
and assure we are changing our patients’ medications accordingly,”
said Sophia Chang, Chief Clinical Informatics Officer of Clover
Health, and practicing primary care internist. “We’re thrilled to
support FHIR because it has so much potential to break down data
silos and give physicians the information they need at the moment
it will have the most impact on their patients’ health. As we
continue to develop new capabilities, I think our doctors will find
them incredibly valuable when managing their Clover patients.”

About Clover Health: Clover Health (Nasdaq:
CLOV) is a next-generation risk-bearing organization aiming to
achieve health equity for all Americans. While our mission is to
improve every life, we particularly focus on seniors who have
historically lacked access to affordable high quality
healthcare.
We aim to provide great care, in a sustainable way, by having a
business model built around improving medical outcomes while
lowering avoidable costs. We do this while taking a holistic
approach to understanding the health needs and social risk factors
of those under our care. This strategy is underpinned by the
company’s proprietary software platform, the Clover Assistant,
which is designed to aggregate patient data from across the health
ecosystem to support clinical decision-making by presenting
physicians and other providers with real-time, personalized
recommendations at the point of care.
Making care more accessible is at the heart of our business, and
we believe patients should have the freedom to choose their
doctors. We offer two models of care: affordable Medicare Advantage
plans with extensive benefits; and care coordination for Original
Medicare beneficiaries through Direct Contracting. For both
programs, we provide primary care physicians with the Clover
Assistant and also make comprehensive home-based care available via
the Clover Home Care program.
With its corporate headquarters in Nashville, Clover’s workforce
is distributed around the U.S. and also includes a team of
