JAMIA Study Reports 22-68% Interoperability Across EHR Platforms: 7 Implications
by Vince Kuraitis, JD and Ian McNicoll, MD
A recent study of EHR interoperability found that 68% of data was "understood" when exchanged across different sites using the same vendor, but only 22% was "understood" when exchanged across different EHR vendors.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA). In this post, we will:
Summarize the JAMIA study and its findings
Interpret the findings
Discuss possible solutions
Describe seven implications
While we mostly agree on the study’s findings, we’ll offer some nuanced interpretations. Vince is a U.S. based healthcare consultant focusing on platform strategy and business models. Ian brings a European perspective – he is a former Scottish GP turned medical informatics expert.
