ONC: Interoperability Lacking Among Office-Based Physicians

According to a recent ONC Data Brief, widespread interoperability among office-based physicians is lacking due to a number of health data exchange barriers.

As highlighted in this EHR Intelligence article, nearly 65 percent of office-based physicians engaged in some form of electronic health data exchange, whether that be sending, receiving, or querying health information.

However, 85 percent reported barriers regarding HIE between providers who use a different EHR system. And, 73 percent of physicians reported that health data interoperability involving multiple systems or portals was a barrier to exchange.

In addition, 71 percent noticed that providers in referral networks lacked the capability to exchange data due to gaps in the use of interoperable technology.

Much of what was shared in the ONC Data Brief reinforces the need for comprehensive, cloud-based health data exchange solutions that can break down these barriers.

For example, RosettaHealth’s HealthBus solution, a SaaS-based data transport platform, makes it easier to share clinical information with any system in any community – with one connection per system. This opens up a world of possibility to hospitals, urgent and post-acute care systems, and ambulatory practices for use with any health information tools, not just EHRs approved components.

In addition, HealthBus Essentials offers the easiest, most powerful way to move and process clinical data. It connects to any facilities’ clinical system enabling clients to receive and/or send real-time clinical data in a matter of days.

With HealthBus Essentials, customers receive common clinical HL7 V2 information in a standardized data structure via a REST API. There is no hosted software that requires internal staff and resources to manage, and is half the cost of competitive solutions.
