PROBLEM
A 360-degree view of the care patients receive will require the next generation of “connections”, like those between EMRs and health information exchange (HIE) organizations. While the federal government prods interoperability among EMRs, HIEs can provide a critical link to bridge these systems. One of the most pressing problems to solve to achieve true interoperability is how to make the data fit from outside systems within the existing system and workflow of physicians in a wide swath of settings.
