Healthcare Interoperability Works Through Open Standards

Ryan Howells, Principal at Leavitt Partners, envisions a wholesale move by the health IT industry to open standards, health care providers moving data from the EHR into their own data centers for more flexibility in AI use, patients sharing the insurance information with providers without paper cards, and 93% of prior authorizations requests answered in real time.In a recent interviw with Howells, we explore the regulatory and technical advances in interoperability that might even kill the clipboard that patients fill out on each visit.
