Episode 9: The Future of EHR and Healthcare Interoperability with Drummond Group

Do you remember filing out the same medical questionnaire every time you went to see a specialist? Do you remember when that transitioned to answering questions once, having it documented digitally, and having your providers access one single file? That transition is the core of interoperability in healthcare, and it's just getting started. This week on You Should Know This, I sit down with Lisa Palmer, Principal of Healthcare Compliance Services at the Drummond Group, to discuss the details of interoperability within the EHR market and regulatory compliance, and the future of the integration of healthcare data as a whole.
