View slides

Listen in as the HIMSS Interoperability & HIE Community digs into the harsh realities around healthcare interoperability brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the development and distribution of three FDA-approved vaccines, and others on the horizon, seamless transmission of patient data between the necessary exchange partners, patient control of personal health data and the delivery of education are key to a successful and speedy rollout. In this roundtable, we sit down with representatives from innovative and ambitious organizations that seek to bridge the gaps currently hindering the flow of patient information while simultaneously aiding in the response to COVID-19 with critical efficiency, clarity and compassion.
