Interoperability is the Next Big Focus for Providers
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In the healthcare industry it’s important that records can be shared in a timely manner. EHR systems were implemented to solve this problem but have failed to do so because different systems can’t communicate – keeping data siloed. The next step of technology integration for the healthcare industry will be looking to interoperability enabled software to make data sharing across providers and systems possible.

ISPOR Explores Data Barriers

At ISPOR 2019, a large healthcare conference, technology, integration, and disruption was discussed at length. Dr. Daniel Kraft, a speaker at the conference, explored how technology changes the ways we care for patients and how certain technologies aren’t keeping up – like record sharing for instance. “We still have silos,” he said.

The Future of Interoperability

In the last ten years, providers implemented EHR systems to cut paper-based records and take advantage of data analytics, but healthcare systems still suffer from a lack of interoperability. According to Definitive Healthcare Data, of 7,411 US hospitals, the vast majority have settled on a choice for a core EHR systems.

A decade ago, less than 73 percent had adopted an EHR system. So, with most providers having an EHR system, why is data sharing still such a hassle? Until there is technology that promotes interoperability, it’s likely we will continue to see fax machines as a means for record sharing.
