Improving EHR Interoperability Together
Our collaborative platform brings EHR vendors and healthcare technology partners together to address interoperability challenges, build stronger relationships, and proactively improve data exchange before issues escalate.
Our Mission
EHR Neighborhood Watch is a community-driven initiative to identify, document, and resolve interoperability issues with Electronic Health Record systems. We believe that by working together, healthcare organizations can improve data exchange and ultimately enhance patient care.
How It Works
Our streamlined process helps identify and address EHR interoperability issues efficiently.
1. Report an Issue
Submit details about the interoperability issue you've encountered with an EHR system.
2. Community Verification
Our team reviews the issue and checks if others have reported similar problems.
3. Vendor Engagement
We engage with EHR vendors to address verified issues and track resolution progress.
Recent Issues
Browse recently reported interoperability issues with various EHR systems.
Authentication tokens expire prematurely when using the FHIR R4 API, causing unexpected session terminations during data retrieval operations.

When launching a SMART app from within the EHR, the launch context is missing critical patient information, requiring manual patient selection.
The FHIR Medication resource consistently returns incomplete dosage information, making it difficult to accurately represent medication instructions.
