My background in the electronic health record (EHR) space ranges from implementing EHR technology into physician practices to building reporting solutions in support of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ “meaningful use.” This was a main source for the influx of physicians adopting EHRs and creating and sharing structured, reportable data. Since then, our industry has made massive investments in interoperability solutions, and we have seen many initiatives attempting to connect health systems. However, as I engage with healthcare providers and executives, I see a continued challenge in defining how we deliver data and achieve meaningful interoperability. To improve the experience, we should look for ways to increase connectivity, accessibility and ease of use.
