The CIO’s Challenge of Integration at the Point of Care
With the rise of new Healthcare Initiatives driven by policy change, CIO’s are thinking more like clinicians than ever.
Development of a point-of-care integration strategy for new population health initiatives, such as ACOs and readmissions reduction, is now a top priority for providers across the country. By incorporating new clinical documentation measures, EHR data at the point-of-care, and interoperability of patient data systems, HIT leadership teams now, more than ever, are streamlining patient care and contributing to better overall outcomes.
