Technology that Talks: Achieving True Healthcare Interoperability – Are you on the interoperability highway or is your organization stuck in a data cul-de-sac? Ensuring all your apps, programs and platforms are connected without data dead ends is vital to driving improved patient outcomes, patient and staff safety and a simplified communications network.
