To achieve rapid progress, you need to unlock the full potential of your data. That requires interoperability and integration of the EHR and other systems. Unless you can unify your data, you will never have a complete view of your individual patients and patient populations. Indeed, it is this holistic view of data that drives innovation. When data is united, it can also become accessible, which drastically changes the way care can be administered. A future where connected homes help mobile clinicians monitor patient health through fixtures in their homes, such as bathroom mirrors, is not far off. In fact, the technology already exists, it’s just a matter of finding the right way to harness it. Data also helps predict outcomes, which can be applied across patient care, but also assists providers in finding the right talent and recruiting high caliber employees in a competitive market.
