Interoperability
The Buzz Word
Many of you that have been in the Skilled Nursing segment of the American healthcare delivery system have probably been noticing or hearing a new buzz word lately: interoperability”. If you stutter while pronouncing the mystical word don’t feel bad, even those of us that have been working with healthcare interoperability for decades find it a tongue twister at times; especially after having pronounced it 30 times in a day.

Chad Johnson from the HL7 Standards blog reached out to interview me for his “5 Hot Topics in Healthcare Interoperability” post. It resulted in an outstanding article.
