This publication discusses the importance of achieving interoperability in healthcare systems and highlights action priorities for health system leaders. It provides an implementation strategy for purchasing interoperable systems, a long-range interoperability roadmap, and examples of specification language. Lessons from other industries are also examined through case studies. Join the special publication launch webinar on April 16, 2019, and explore the role of payers in achieving interoperability. A roundtable convening of healthcare leaders is also planned.
