Bridging Information Gaps across the Healthcare Continuum

Eric Leader, VP of Technology Architecture at Carefx, and former Chief Technology Architect for CHW, discusses strategies for managing care transitions and information gaps between diverse departments, systems, and facilities. Mr. Leader describes how proprietary systems serve their purpose in isolated circumstances, but fall short when data needs to be exchanged across systems and presented in various relevant contexts. He explains the reasons, functions, and benefits behind implementing a service-oriented solution that leverages existing infrastructure versus the historic approach of transferring data between systems.
