The road to health IT interoperability is a long one, but the Office of the National Coordinator provided a roadmap to guide healthcare stakeholders.
Here are six goals along the path to interoperability, according to an infographic from eMedApps.
2015 to 2017
• Send, receive, find and use data domains to improve healthcare quality
• 30 percent of Medicare payments through alternative models by the end of this year
2018 to 2020
• Expand interoperable health IT and users to improve population health and lower healthcare costs
• 50 percent of Medicare payments through alternative payment models by the end of 2018
2021 to 2024
• A learning health system enabled by nationwide interoperability
• Value-based payment models will be the dominant mode of payment
