Session Themes

Propelling Interoperability through Data Quality and Usability

Data is flowing because of interoperability – now what? Data quality ensures that our exchange of data through interop gives it the best chance of being useful to the receiver. This panel will focus on initial steps and considerations to make the most of your data and interoperability.

The Identity Issue: What’s New in Patient Identity and Matching

Patient Identity and Patient Matching have become increasingly popular subtopics of interoperability, and for good reason. Without trustworthy processes, strong standards and federated protocols, interoperability is hindered by the ability to identify and match patients. Join this panel for the most up to date thinking and considerations regarding both identity and patient matching, including through a privacy and security lens.

Popular and Emerging Use Cases for Interoperability

A lot of conversation has recently been around the promise of TEFCA to enhance interoperability, but we know the interoperability ecosystem is vast and TEFCA is a piece of a greater puzzle. Hear from this panel as they describe popular and emerging interoperability use cases complementary to and separate from TEFCA as we put the interoperability puzzle together.

Engaging Patients, Consumers, and Care Partners in Interoperability

Interoperability centers around the idea of information exchange to benefit patients, yet we frequently don’t center or involve patients, consumers, or care partners in our conversations. Learn more from this panel about how to further consider and engage these key stakeholders.

The Future State of Interoperability

What can we expect next in interoperability? Join this panel as they discuss what’s on the horizon and how to be prepared for the next evolution of interop.
