Interoperability

Michael Seres was an entrepreneur, patient advocate, husband and father of three. He died on 30 May 2020, in California, US, of a sepsis infection. This news not only shook the patient community, but also the global healthcare IT space.

A healthcare system in which stakeholders share, adopt and apply medical knowledge in real time enables improved care, accelerated workflows, streamlined business processes and a better balance of resources with demand.

Hear from leaders in the healthcare industry about how to leverage existing technology to unify healthcare workflows. Peter Urbain from DocuSign, the world’s #1 leader in creating a “system of agreements,” will provide best practices to improve care through technology. Theresa Bell from Kno2, a rapidly growing company that provides interoperability as a service will showcase how technological solutions can come together quickly to create a unified healthcare workflow.

Without cross-border co-operation the potential of personalised health cannot be realised, acccording to Bogi Eliasen, director at the Health Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies and HIMSS Future50 leader, who will be speaking at HIMSS & Health 2.0 European Digital Event taking place 7-11 September.

In this webinar, you’ll hear how two health systems rapidly scaled their telehealth programs to keep delivering care while brick-and-mortar locations remained closed.

It’s more important than ever that healthcare organizations are able to quickly onboard the best clinicians and get them up and running to treat patients. However, with so many healthcare systems running on outdated, legacy systems that make credentialing management a challenge, this isn’t always the case.

Learn how AI & Machine Learning tools are enabling effective communication and collaboration between clinicians, care teams and patients in a new healthcare landscape.   Understand the impact recent CMS Interoperability rulings, COVID-19, and telehealth are having on value-based care initiatives.

Let’s invest in an interoperable health data system that connects all providers, hospitals, nursing homes, insurance companies, state and local governments, public health and patients who need access to medical records.

Dr. Michael von Bertele, non-executive director of Rutherford Health and Salisbury NHS foundation trust in the UK, writes about the ways we can build systems to avert critical situations, and be better prepared.  

 Privacy remains an important determinant of how technology is deployed, even during these times of COVID-19, argues HIMSS' chief clinical officer Dr. Charles Alessi.
