Healthcare Technology
EMR & Health IT Systems Integration
Many experts assert that care coordination across the continuum of care is essential to improving the quality and accessibility of care. Creating interoperable health IT ecosystems that provide data sharing among organizations will allow for the delivery of care to be tailored to the needs of individual patients. To this end, healthcare IT systems need to be evaluated in a systematic and outcomes driven manner to deploy effective population health management tools that include both prevention and the management of chronic conditions all with the intent of coordinating patient care and improving health outcomes.
The amount of healthcare data is increasing exponentially making the need for safe, secure data exchange essential. Providers need to be able to have access to all the pieces that contribute to the larger picture of a patient’s health. This is where systems integration comes in. Without appropriate interfaces, API’s, interoperability and the ability to share data and workflow differences, organizations have trouble succeeding in delivering quality, timely care to their patients.
Organizations that innovate and forge new alliances with technology and services to transform traditional medicine will survive the movement toward cost-containment initiatives. These organizations will also position themselves to meet the regulatory standards that appear to be unachievable today.
