Making Health IT Interoperability More Accurate, Actionable

Widespread interoperability is not a reality merely yet for the healthcare industry, but the steps essential for acquiring it is indeed taking shape.

On the national level, The Sequoia Project has made considerable headway in removing technical and legal hurdles to health data exchange and data sharing, most recently with various organizations (e.g., Surescripts, Epic Systems, athenahealth) agreeing to implement the Carequality framework and paying the pathway for its providers to access sufferer data more widely.

In accordance to CEO Mariann Yeager, taking concrete action is essential for advancing interoperability more widely, effectively, and quickly. “Let’s recognize the hard problems that the community together can solve. Let’s begin rolling up our sleeves and working on those,” she claims.
