As the next phase in the evolution of interoperability, SDC allows for the secure and near real-time sharing of health data between devices at the point of care, regardless of the manufacturer. Traditionally, we think about interoperability as HIEs (health information exchanges), but in 2024 I expect to see new models emerge.
Effective Health Information Exchange (HIE) requires a secure and reliable Health Information Service Provider (HISP) infrastructure to provide HIPAA-compliant delivery of healthcare information. As the industry standard, Direct Secure Messaging continues to expand nationally.
We talk a lot about sharing data and how it will improve patient outcomes and interoperability, but do we talk enough about how to do it safely? Healthcare is going to be rapidly advancing as patient data becomes more interoperable and effectively used across traditional organizational boundaries.
This avoids the laborious process and delays associated with calling, faxing, and contacting providers and family members. As data sharing initiatives gain momentum, including TEFCA nationally and the Data Exchange Framework in California, it’s an important reminder that data sharing advancement is more than a policy or technological discussion.
We asked our talented Healthcare IT Today Community – in the context of interoperability, what challenges and barriers exist in achieving standardized and secure data exchange across different healthcare systems, and how can these obstacles be addressed? Data-sharing and interoperability are key. The following are their answers.

CEO Lisa Bari sat down with John to discuss why state efforts to address interoperability are as important as national efforts. They also touched on the role of health data utilities as the evolution of the state HIE.
These perspectives reinforce each other as she works to improve the regulatory landscape shaping security and interoperability in her role at CHIME overseeing congressional engagement efforts focused on effective use of health IT. Five years from now, Leslie expects that cybersecurity and interoperability will be much improved.

Is this just another HIE? The inclusion of social services organizations in the CA DxF is also unique as these entities are not recognized as healthcare providers under HIPAA and data sharing has been limited. A few features of the CA DxF set it apart from traditional health information exchanges (HIEs) and networks (HINs).
My philosophy is that Interoperability Standards are not a destination, they are a catalyst that enables something far greater to happen. I have over 30 years of experience with IT communications, including 18 years of expertise in Healthcare Interoperability Standards and the application of Privacy.
An ONC blog post described how the tool works: Developers answer questions about the type of health data the app will collect, the intended use of the app, and the type of entity developing the app to determine whether the app is subject to HIPAA, the information blocking rule, or other federal laws.
In essence, blockchain could help reshape healthcare interoperability by serving as a next-generation middleware that couples health data with decentralized, distributed, and immutable qualities, according to a new report by IDC Health Insights.
As interoperability continues to take hold, health information management leaders help ensure that the information shared through data exchanges and networks is aligned to Master Patient Index (MPI) technologies, which are critical to streamlining and automating patient matching to a very high degree of certainty.
Whichever path forward an HIE chooses, support of patient access must remain a priority. 1, 2023, enforcement of the 21st Century Cures Act Information Blocking Rule goes into effect, putting teeth into the much-celebrated law that enables patients to have full access to their personal health data.
Ensuring the efficient flow of information is fundamental to advancing interoperability. One of the HIPAA-compliant solutions CyncHealth uses to exchange information is Direct Secure Messaging.
He cited HIPAA barriers, encouraging the industry to consider the true intent for exchange of data and how vital is the free-flow of information between providers – from acute to long-term post-acute – to drive these meaningful conversations and create full 360 awareness of the patient as a whole being.
I’m going through an HIE implementation right now with a local HIE here in Georgia. The problem with interoperability and intraoperability is that those files become convoluted quickly. All of them have a lot of work to do around interoperability and parsing the right data set for the right patient at the right time.
If you’re not sure whether you’re participating in TEFCA, contact your health information exchange (HIE), QHIN, or electronic health record (EHR) provider. This includes maintaining your existing HIE, QHIN, Carequality, or other connections, at least for now. The exact process varies from QHIN to QHIN. The Common Agreement (CA) 2.0
