The Role Of Practice Interoperability To Achieve An Integrated Health System

The role of interoperability to achieve clinical integration is unquestionable. Immediately, the priority for clinical integration leaps to health information technology (HIT) and how to create a “technology platform” leveraging HIT to achieve an integrated health system. What is the afterthought? A “practice platform” that provides consistent evidence-based practice and content for point of care clinicians across the continuum.

There are many factors about practice interoperability that health systems have not historically put equally significant emphasis on as technology interoperability factors. With new demands to shift to “value-based care”, the pendulum is now swinging to the practice side of the equation to assure that clinical practice is streamlined for consistency in care, smooth transitions of care and meaningful big data for population health management.

Join Michelle Troseth, Chief Professional Practice Officer for Elsevier, as she discusses the role of practice interoperability and new ways of thinking to achieve clinical integration and an integrated health system.

This is the first of a series of three webinars that will cover such topics as consistency of care, population health, and opportunities for improved patient outcomes. In addition to Michelle Troseth, these webinars will feature Dr. Peter Edelstein, Chief Medical Officer for Elsevier Clinical Solutions.
