Interoperability at Ascension

Julie Henslee, Senior Director Data & Insights, Ascension Health. Large, multi-state health organizations with significant variability continue to struggle with system interoperability. The development of new interoperability standards and adherence to traditional standards is a must when accounting for the flexibility necessary to tackle large, heterogeneous ecosystems. As the market continues to grow in population health and accountable care models, merely exchanging data doesn’t resolve interoperability issues. Julie discusses how Ascension Health is tackling this issue.
