Interoperability

Network reliability and availability of fiber-based services are acknowledged as key contributors to success at rural healthcare organizations adopting new care delivery models, but these same organizations also acknowledge challenges with funding and clinician buy-in in their efforts to enhance healthcare delivery. During this webinar, Bryan Fiekers, senior director of Research Services for HIMSS Analytics, will share the results of a new research study that explores the impact of connectivity on rural hospitals. In addition, Fiekers will offer actionable insights and prescriptive guidance into how rural healthcare organizations can gain the connectivity needed to help advance key clinical initiatives.

Patient matching is at the forefront of the national Health IT conversation. Senators are urging the GAO to consider a national patient matching strategy, and the ONC and CHIME have both run patient matching competitions in search of a better approach.  It’s no secret that a new approach to patient matching is sorely needed. The average duplicate record rate within health systems is 20% and growing. And when exchanging health information between health systems, the patient matching error rate is upwards of 50%. These numbers are jarring, but more importantly they drastically impact patient safety, patient care, and business costs. Luckily, a next-generation patient matching approach exists that organizations can leverage in three simple steps to dramatically improve their patient matching. Attend this webinar to learn about this next-generation matching approach, called "Referential Matching,” and to hear about the real-world successes that three large healthcare organizations have seen with Referential Matching.

The full value of FHIR is still years in the making, says one expert.

When the thrill of electronic health record implementation is over, hospital and IT execs are left to wonder: We are live on the EHR, so now what?

Massive changes in healthcare delivery, regulation, and payment make access to data, connectivity and integration more important than ever. Collaboration can be among patients and doctors, among hospital staff, and among hospitals and other healthcare organizations—including insurance companies. Traditional “messaging” is being replaced by APIs, largely through the FHIR standard, and other API efforts - but what does a move to APIs entail? Join this webinar to learn how Red Hat® integration technologies and standards-based hardware from Intel® provide healthcare business value beyond traditional integration, and API engines to support value-based and patient-centered care, healthcare Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging healthcare goals.

With better coordinated care, providers will be able to make more informed decisions and their patients will experience better outcomes.

Information must be shared outside of the healthcare network in which it resides to allow all of a patient’s valuable data to be available to all of their providers.

Mike Restuccia has seen firsthand the challenges and opportunities of deriving as much value as possible from your electronic health records software.

Advisory Board Senior Vice President Rob Barras discusses the need for providers to start locally to spark interoperability while recognizing there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

The timing has never been better for hospitals and long-term post-acute care (LTPAC) providers to engage with each other to help improve care coordination, care delivery, patient outcomes and the patient experience. This webinar is designed to help health care leaders understand the opportunities and challenges that exist today within the LTPAC industry, and to help them understand how to align their organizations for LTPAC Success.
