Healthcare Interoperability: Are your medical devices EMR ready?

Despite a rising trend, we are still far away from digitised healthcare achieving its full potential around the world. During a single hospital stay, one patient has many contact points. In emergency and operating rooms, intensive care and step-down units, devices and systems generate volumes of data that are critical to clinical decisions. Many hospitals’ IT organizations have become systems integrators and can face a variety of interoperability challenges with fragmented healthcare systems and devices.

Although standards organisations have made significant strides and regulatory incentives—such as meaningful use—have encouraged vendors and healthcare providers to improve system interoperability and content sharing, data inconsistencies and data quality issues persist. 

Achieving true interoperability in healthcare is a complex endeavour, whether it is a device integration or the seamless connection of multiple systems, applications, departments and institutions. As healthcare organisations move toward integrating into a patient’s EHR more clinical data from devices and hospital information systems, it is important to design and implement an interoperability strategy based on an enterprise versus department-by-department approach.
