The healthcare ecosystem is under tremendous pressure to comply with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) interoperability final rules of data sharing, aimed at advancing care continuity and patient access to information. Organizations need to take some strategic steps to stay compliant and tackle challenges in the road ahead. For instance, healthcare data silos continue to be a major bottleneck in the delivery of coordinated care. Disparate sources, inconsistent formats, and fragmented systems prevent the free flow of data between providers, payers, and patients, thereby impacting operational efficiency and quality of care. Moreover, lack of data sharing not only limits innovation but also results in declining member satisfaction and retention rates.
