@AirStrip – At the10th Annual National Health IT Week this month, AirStrip called for the elimination of barriers to interoperability. Reflecting the NHIT Week theme of “One Voice, One Vision: Transforming Health and Care”, AirStrip President Matt Patterson, MD noted the industry-wide need to unleash clinical workflow innovation through interoperability and mobility.“This is not a technology problem. The technology we need already exists, but the challenge will persist if policymakers continue to focus on minimum bar sets of variables as a way to define interoperability,” Dr. Patterson said. “Instead, we should demand and enforce how healthcare technologies must communicate: the specific vocabularies, document types and transport mechanisms that all vendors, especially EMR vendors, should be required to accept both inbound and outbound to access all data and rules. If we can clear that hurdle, then we will see a wave of workflow innovation that improves lives for caregivers and consumers.”
