The future of interoperability—will we ever get there?
For decades, the goal for healthcare has been achieving true interoperability between healthcare provider records. Yet, year after year, the same competitive challenges, security complexities and regulatory hurdles that have served as roadblocks in the past continue to stymy efforts to enable data sharing. In this session, top health IT experts will make their arguments and predictions for the future of interoperability and discuss:
- What new opportunities and hurdles have emerged amid changing regulations, technology and the COVID-19 pandemic?
- What role will new data-sharing mandates from HHS play in pushing interoperability efforts forward?
- How we can finally move this conversation forward from incremental change to true change?
