Interoperability
Interoperability means that your organization can share patient information with other organizations where patients seek care. All healthcare groups need to demonstrate interoperability to meet Meaningful Use requirements to receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act incentive dollars. But it’s not just about earning dollars; being interoperable ensures patients’ critical clinical data is easily accessible by their choice of healthcare organizations, thus improving care and safety.
Benefits:
- Improves quality of patient care
- Enables better-informed care decisions by sharing patient information within a community of healthcare providers
- Saves time, money, and resources. It’s no longer necessary to recreate documents or reports for individual providers
- Improves communication among providers
