A new decentralized network of the future exists and is in operation today. Large payers and providers are already beginning to use it for administrative transactions, although clinical transactions are also envisioned.
I am suggesting we invest our efforts to think beyond our current solutions and reimagine what true interoperability could look like in an ideal healthcare ecosystem. Can we make progress in reimagining how healthcare works in 2023? I believe we can. We must. We will.
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
We’ve been talking about improving patient satisfaction and creating a more patient-centric care experience for years. But we’ll never get there if we continue to be focused on transactional healthcare, which is where our efforts toward interoperability have traditionally been drawn.
Just as with clinical interoperability, greater administrative interoperability could help eliminate many of the costs related to billing and insurance, freeing up much-needed investment resources.
We’ve been through the beginning phases of interoperability and are solidly transitioning from walking to running. I believe 2022 will be a pivotal year that sees us opening the throttle and rocketing full speed ahead.
