HEALTHCARE INTEROPERABILITY CHALLENGES www.capminds.com
Introduction • Improved healthcare interoperabilityis everyone’s top priority. • Both the public and private healthcare organizations are working across the industry to facilitate seamless health data exchange between health IT systems to coordinate care across various health settings nationwide.
1. The absence of a standardized way to identify patients • As health information exchange continues to evolve day by day, the need for an accurate and standardized way to find patient health records is becoming very important. • Thus, the lack of a national uniform patient identification system has resulted in increased healthcare facility costs, inefficient health data exchange, and patient safety threats.
2. The absence of health IT interoperability standards • Lack of interoperability standards can disturb the seamless health data exchange by complicating transactions and additional barriers to the flow of information. • The adoption of health data standards serves as the basis for enabling interoperability across healthcare sectors and between electronic health record systems.
3. Difficulty In enforcing industry-wide interoperability measurement standards • With new interoperability improvement initiatives that are getting into progress across the industry, federal agencies need a way to measure the progress of these initiatives by assessing the state of health IT interoperability in a consistent way.
4. The need to end information blocking by vendors • The practice of information blocking is a major impediment to healthcare interoperability. • Even though blocking patient health information exchange is considered to be illegal, this still remains a problem and an important challenge to overcome to achieve true interoperability.
Conclusion • Developing a national patient identifier, improving standardization and collaboration across the industry, and ending information blocking are all remaining to be the great challenges towards achieving true healthcare interoperability.
