Interoperability

Streamline your facility’s medication dispensing and tracking processes with manufacturer-enabled RFID technology.

In the next decade, interoperability will give healthcare professionals the efficiency they need, says Allscripts Asia VP Tommy Soh.

Amit Trivedi, director of Informatics & Health IT Standards at HIMSS, details three big trends he sees in health IT standards around public health, global health and the API economy.

The next step in interoperability is adding a level of intelligence to find the important information in data, says Lyniate COO Scott Galbari.

Healthbox and the HIMSS Maturity Models can help health systems chart their course to get from where they are to where they want to be, explains Justin Gernot, vice president of Healthbox.

The Department of Defense, VA and Coast Guard are developing the new single common medical record, which focuses on the patients and will be interoperable for providers in all facilities.

Manufacturer-enabled smart labels with RFID tags can help healthcare organizations track drug inventory and reduce medication errors.

Ethical data sharing means patients are the true owners of their data, not the tech experts who have become the de facto owners, say Cotiviti's Nicole Neumarker and Sensyne Health's Derek Baird.

Two months since the ONC info blocking rules took effect, many health systems are still sorting out what is required of them. Mark Segal, principal at Digital Health Policy Advisors, offers an explainer and shares best practices to avoid looming penalties.

Rita Bowen, vice president of privacy, compliance and HIM policy at MRO, discusses how the changes could affect healthcare provider organizations.
