Breaking Barriers to Interoperable Healthcare at HIMSS12
Healthcare stakeholders are highly aware of the critical drivers in the global health IT marketplace. In the U.S., among the many drivers they face include the need to meet new meaningful use, quality metrics and many other requirements. Conscious of the new challenges, changes, and investment, healthcare stakeholders are searching for straight forward answers to critical interoperability questions. Finding solutions to these important issues is the focus of the HIMSS12 Interoperability Showcase - Breaking Barriers to Interoperable Healthcare. The Interoperability Showcase exhibit provides a full landscape of health IT solutions, live demonstrations of interoperability, and educational opportunities that connect thousands of health IT buyers and end-users to answer your most complex health IT questions.
Breaking Barriers to Adoption
Did you know a 100-bed hospital utilizes hundreds of interfaces to transfer patient data from department-to-department? Standards-based interoperable systems reduce: costs, maintenance and improves patient centered care. Information is powerful! However, to break the barriers to adoption, stakeholders must realize and embrace the benefits of interoperability.
The HIMSS12 Interoperability Showcase advocates adoption through a variety of educational opportunities and networking. Learn more about interoperability as industry thought leaders, health IT developers and clinician end-users converge and share their rich experiences and knowledge at the HIMSS12 Interoperability Showcase.
