As technology continues to advance and improve it becomes more and more critical for healthcare organizations to have protected patient data access, standard care tools, and secure ways to cohesively share data. Interoperability does all of these things, and much more for the healthcare industry. The benefits of interoperability are numerous and include:
- Better Care Coordination: The real-time access to patient health information allows providers to avoid miscommunications and provide more accurate patient health information.
- Higher Efficiency: Interoperability allows real-time access to patient data, thus increasing productivity, response time, and overall efficiency. It also eliminates redundant manual tasks, enables insurance verification, and sets systems up for success on automations and workflows while dramatically reducing administrative burdens.
- Better Experience: Data interoperability reduces the amount of time and work needed for both internal and external administrative duties, creating a better experience for both employees and patients. For example, automating a patient intake process to avoid repeat patient paperwork.
Why interoperability matters for all
This is a global initiative to improve healthcare and it affects each of us.
- Companies: In order to achieve a complete 360-degree view of the patient, healthcare organizations must be able to seamlessly connect with and act on data collected by the patients’ care team across multiple providers. This connection leads to more accurate transparency, less time wasted, no data silos, increased productivity, flexibility, and a simplified flow of information.
- Providers: Offer better, more accurate patient data across all systems while also gaining the ability to provide real-time updates to provide the best possible care. Interoperability leads to personalized care, faster diagnosis, shorter wait times and less errors as information moves between systems seamlessly, giving doctors the right information when they need it.
- End Patient / Customer: Patients have easy, secure access to their full medical history. They also reap the benefits of interoperability by avoiding unnecessary questions or re-tests, shorter wait times, less errors, and an all-around more satisfactory patient experience.
