4 tips to ensure interoperability

The need to strengthen interoperability has always been a priority in healthcare enterprises. Here is a quick checklist for companies to guarantee healthcare data interoperability in their services. 

1) Defining interoperability 
Healthcare companies should establish a common definition of interoperability in statute. 

2) Information blocking 
Taxpayer-funded programs should support information blocking intended to exchange information. 

3) Standards 
Adopt industry-developed standards - based upon reference implementation models, promotion of open APIs and interoperability testing. 

4) EHR Marketplaces 
Physicians should have access to all relevant data about an EHR before deciding to use one in practice, including data on certification, decertification, penalties and information blocking incidents in a way that is usable and easily accessible to stakeholders.
