As healthcare organizations (HCOs) move from fee-for-service care models to value-based care (VBC) models, data interoperability can provide a holistic view of the patient and provide the best possible care.

Interoperability standards were originally developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s to allow different clinical systems within hospitals to exchange data with the patient registration system. Infor Cloverleaf®, one of the original interface engines in use then, is still the core interoperability engine for more than one-third of U.S. hospitals.

External pressures like reimbursement reduction, clinical quality reporting mandates and price transparency rules further underscore the importance of bringing together diverse data sources.
