According to HIMSS, interoperability is "the ability of different information systems, devices and applications (systems) to access, exchange, integrate and cooperatively use data in a coordinated manner, within and across organizational, regional and national boundaries, to provide timely and seamless portability of information and optimize the health of individuals and populations globally." Tune in to hear HealthcareNow Radio hosts and their guests discuss the latest in interoperability.

The critical issue in such ‘sustainably aware’ times, is not only doing what is written in the reports but also understanding what is reported. This approach is called ‘talking the walk’. From this perspective, questions such as: How much of what has been done is actually disclosed? And to whom? provide the focus of the analysis.

Get ready for "Talking the Walk," a show where the conversations take us one step closer to solving some of the industry’s most pressing challenges. Join host Tom Testa as he talks to industry leaders as they walk us through the actions and solutions breaking new ground or making an impact. It’s a fast-paced 30 minutes so keep up and come along with us as the show strides towards actionable changes in the industry.
