Healthcare IT Interoperability and EMR Interoperability Explained

Electronic Medical Record Interoperability is the Ability of Different Hospital Systems and Doctor Practices to Share Patient Data.

Examples of Patient Data Include Disease History, Physical Exam Findings, CT/MRI Images and Lab Values.

The US Government Measured Hospital Interoperability in Major Cities and Scored Them on Percent of Hospitals that Shared Patient Data.  

Some of the Findings:
Cleveland 78% of Hospitals Share Patient Data
Miami 77%
Dallas 60%
New York City 59%
Chicago 58%
Boston 50%
Washington D.C. 44%
Los Angeles 41%
Philadelphia 35%

Some Hospitals and Physician Practices Do Not Share Data NOT Because of Technology Challenges, But Rather Because They Just Don't WANT To.

Hear a True Story of a 500+ Doctor Practice that STOPPED Sharing CT Images with a Local Hospital for Free and Instead Would Charge Patients to Copy Images to a CD, Which They Would Need to Take to the Hospital.
