The concept of interoperability is not new to the healthcare industry. Industry stakeholders have long debated the need and feasibility of interoperability within the healthcare ecosystem. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule has provided the necessary encouragement to healthcare enterprises and IT vendors to bring together data and provide easy data access to members/patients to coordinate their healthcare. The final rule also facilitates data access between payers and between payers and providers, giving these entities a broader view into member/patient healthcare and enabling them to enhance member/patient engagement and improve care delivery.
This viewpoint examines the evolution of interoperability in healthcare, provisions and timelines of the interoperability rule, areas that enterprises should focus on for regulatory compliance, additional investments required to reap long term benefits of the rule, and complexity of the supplier landscape.
