Introduction

• Achieving interoperability in healthcare has been
  a hot trend in health IT and the healthcare
  providers are searching for the best strategies
  to better access patients complete medical
  records.
• The health IT leaders should also think about how
  interoperability improves patients experience
  and how to save them time.

Interoperability A Powerful Healthcare Tool

• The healthcare providers care more about their
  patients health and their time.
• What can interoperability do for patients?
• The term interoperability should be defined as a
  powerful healthcare tool to help achieve
  prioritized organisations goal for medical
  practices and patients.

1. Set An Effective Strategy To Improve
Interoperability

• The first step in defining an effective strategy
  is deciding what you want to achieve from your
  data.
• Then you need to align your priorities and
  necessities, to enjoy the greatest value from
  your data.
• Finally make the right decisions that optimise
  processes for your strategy.
• For example, a healthcare organisation can
  partner with hundreds of healthcare providers
  throughout the country to manage their quality
  data which helps to improve healthcare
  interoperability.

2. Adoption Of Standard Terminology

• The first and foremost thing healthcare
  organizations need to know where they stand
  relative to the adoption of standard terminology.
  
• If your organization has a long history of
  adopting standard terminology in its core
  business practices, you are in a much better
  place to take advantage of interoperability
  technology.

3. Dedicated Team Of Experts

• Healthcare IT leaders should continuously invest
  in their teams to regularly upgrade their skills
  as emerging technology trends continue to evolve,
  including API-based standards, FHIR or artificial
  intelligence/machine learning.
• With a strong team, an organization can create an
  enterprise interoperability strategy that gives
  equal weight to technology as well as the people
  behind it.

4. Interoperability For Value-Based Care

• The value-based care can create a better
  experience for patients, and providers can get
  rewarded for better outcomes.
• Ideally, a system will know what the practice
  needs to do for each member of its population and
  at, each encounter, reach out to the network to
  pull in the right information, at the right time,
  into the right workflow.

5. Interoperability For Better Patient Outcomes

• CIOs need to understand that clinicians do not
  want interoperability technology simply to have
  more data.
• Clinicians need solutions that deliver clean,
  organized and actionable data
• Without having to search through clinical spam to
  find the precise information they need for
  clinical decision-making.

6. Interoperability Technologies 

• Data formats There are many data format
  standards to accommodate.
• For example, claims data follows the X12
  structure. Lab data follows the HL7 structure.
• EHR data may follow HL7/CCDA/FHIR structure. On
  top of that, each standard format may be
  customized.
• A robust interoperability practice needs to
  manage different types of interfaces and file
  formats as well, including HL7, FHIR and X12.

6. Interoperability Technologies 

• Frequency and volume of interfaces  
• In order to effectively manage a wide range of
  interoperability projects, an organization should
  define standard approaches to managing the
  frequency and volume of interfaces, including
  daily, monthly and batch versus real time.

Conclusion

• With the help of advanced technologies available
  in healthcare industry today, the physicians and
  healthcare providers not only match patient
  records, but readily share medical data necessary
  for decision making.
• Many providers miss opportunities to leverage
  interoperability solutions due to lack of IT
  resources.
