Do Clinicians Have the Interoperability They Need
A KLAS survey on interoperability notes that only six percent of providers report that information accessed through an exchange from a different EHR vendor is being delivered in a way that facilitates improvement to patient care.
35 billion in MU/HITECH, and we have 6% feeling like interop works for them. My guess is that those 6% don’t even understand the question. I dare someone to find a SINGLE MD that thinks you can find actionable info on any EHR that is different from their own.
