All around the globe, healthcare systems are beginning to strain and fray as physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals leave their positions or scale back their hours. Dr. Katharine Smart, President of the Canadian Medical Association believes interoperability is key to reducing physician burnout. Worrying Trend.
An EHR system needs to make a 360-degree view of patient data accessible in a secure manner that can be made available using standard interfaces like FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) APIs for structured data exchange and DICOM for imaging. This is not only a financial investment, but also an attention investment.
Based on a media release, doctors and nurses at Hervey Bay Hospital are being prepared for the Queensland Telestroke Service pilot happening in the coming weeks. The company partnered with InterSystems to adopt the IRIS for Health platform to offer interoperability based on FHIR standards.
Even though skilled nursing facilities, long-care homes and retirement facilities are highly regulated, Charnetski says that regulators don’t really understand the industry’s needs. The next step would be to achieve real interoperability in health records, a still elusive goal.
By HIMSS TV | March 14, 2025 News The future of care: Nurses in 2030 With the increasing shortage of medical professionals, care delivery and roles will need to evolve.
As the industry experiences increasing merger and acquisition activity and more hospitals become part of ACOs or integrated delivery networks (IDNs), establishing a framework built on interoperable and scalable technology will ensure our healthcare assembly line operates seamlessly within a single warehouse. Scott received his B.S.
For HHM Health , an FQHC serving the Dallas area, interoperability and access to medical records is vital for establishing trust with their patients and saving lives.

Drawing from this experience on both sides of the equation, I believe the next generation of EHRs can better meet the needs of all involved with better usability, interoperability, and flexibility. Enhancing Interoperability In addition to greater usability, EHRs need better data-sharing capabilities to bring real value to the clinical space.
The siloed nature of such data repositories can be attributed to various factors, including using different EHR systems, varying data capture standards, and a historical lack of emphasis on system interoperability. The solution to these challenges lies in the adoption of interoperable data systems.
Combined with the nursing shortage, razor thin margins, the need to reduce hospital readmissions, […]. Our healthcare system is approaching a critical time in which an aging population will bring baby boomers into hospitals and post-acute care facilities in record numbers.

Further, state-by-state laws requiring in-person meetings between psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychiatrist collaborators should be reexamined as these can safely take place over video conferences. Preparation ahead of the mandatory deadline is crucial for success and ACOs with multiple EMRs will face unique challenges.
As a result, the Electronic Medical Record (EMRs) vendors such as EPIC or Cerner are quickly expanding and adding video to their offering. For EMRs to add support for video meetings is trivial — and they are actively pursuing this. Kaiser has integrated video calls into their app more than a year ago.
Consumers will want automated, actionable health insights that come from smart artificial intelligence (AI) applied to interoperable data that is seamless and integrated across all platforms and applications.
