In settings from primary care facilities to multi-specialty clinics to
How iPaaS in healthcare helps to improve the patient experience, the quality of care, and more.
Technology has made CIN connectivity even more possible. Asking the following questions while developing your program is a good place to start.
As technology evolves, access to data transparency as well as placing the power of information with patients is key. The latest edition of USCDI is designed to provide standards for data sharing, however there will still likely be some costs associated with providing or receiving data.
The healthcare industry generates an incredible amount of data — almost a third of the entire world’s data volume — but the field is always changing. From new technologies to new health concerns, medical organizations need sophisticated data management tools to help make sense of it all. To get there, they rely on data libraries.
Today’s healthcare landscape often runs on an array of disparate programs, all constantly collecting data — but this approach is at odds with the industry’s need for data centralization, artificial intelligence and modern technological solutions.
Improved data collection and reporting can maximize reimbursement and incentive payments through various programs designed to improve healthcare for marginalized populations. Reporting on various health measures can increase eligibility for incentive programs, leading to greater revenues year over year.
Being able to access and share patient information without breaking confidentiality or compromising patient privacy is an ongoing challenge in today’s increasingly digitized world. Electronic health information exchanges (HIEs) facilitate the secure transmission of and access to patient data.
The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures) includes specific provisions to promote health information interoperability, and penalizes those seen to be guilty of intentional or unintentional “information blocking.”
Creating or joining a CIN is no small task, you need to have your toolbox fully stocked for a smooth transition.
