Why interoperability in healthcare is important

Interconnected systems allow providers, patients, and payers to work as a team.

Data-driven decision making improves care quality and health outcomes, and helps reduce waste.

Through our relationship with CommonWell Health Alliance® and via our multiple interoperability solutions, we help providers and payers improve the fluidity of information exchange.

Interoperability is essential to complying with government regulations and to implementing value-based care.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) recently activated elements of the 21st Century Cures Act that make seamless information exchange a requirement in 2021.
