On-Demand Webinar: A Provider’s Perspective on Healthcare Interoperability

Healthcare payers are not the only group responsible for driving and achieving true interoperability. It’s ultimately a larger patient-centric endeavor and includes providers as well. It’s time to look beyond just checking a compliance box and place the emphasis on better coordination of care across the ecosystem. Join Ngan MacDonald and Lee Ann Lau, MD, from HealthLX along with senior consultant Michael Burger from Point-of-Care Partners (POCP) as they discuss: 

• • Where interoperability challenges exist within provider organizations and what strategies have helped

  • How providers can play a more active role in working effectively with payers

  • Strategies for coping with the above challenges that don’t necessarily rely on technology
