Pressure is rising to make sure that the industry isn’t engaged in blocking information, either due to the competitive pressure or technical issues.
This year’s progress in acquiring interoperability will be on display at HIMSS17, where 34,000 square feet of floor space will be utilized to show industry progress in exchanging data or information among several partners in healthcare.
In the Interoperability Showcase, HIMSS gives an immersive experience that indicates the use of data and its exchange or data exchange, through several profiles and standards with live products that are presently in the marketplace.
“Because of the shift from fee-for-service to value-based models, the new showcase moves from beyond concentrating on the EHR as the sole data source for electronic health information, to a wide range of health information technologies utilized by individuals, providers and researchers,” HIMSS claims.
The emphasis at HIMSS17 will go beyond just indicating interoperability in transactions to more complex information exchanges. The showcase has been redesigned to show how interoperability will be fleshed out in a variety of use cases.
Several tours in the interoperability showcase will follow the exchange of information in the following areas:
- Accountable care
- Public health reporting
- Commonwell care transitions
- Community health
- Diabetes management
- Surgery and recovery
- Patient data reconciliation
The showcase is the outcome of collaborative effort between public and private sector vendors and represents months of work to develop standards-based demonstrations of interoperability from the perspective of an individual like a clinician, caregiver, administrator or patient.
The Interoperability showcase is open February 20 through 22 anytime during exhibit hours in booth 9000 in the exhibit hall.
