- As organizations ponder complying with HHS proposed interoperability rules, they should consider moving beyond regulatory requirements to realize greater healthcare interoperability, advised a new Deloitte Insights article.

“Implementing a strategic interoperability plan can position health plans and health systems to gain insights and opportunities to provide more effective care, reduce inefficiencies, meet consumers’ demands, and better enable the organization to compete effectively in the future,” the article noted.

To guage healthcare organizations views on the proposed interoperability rules by CMS and ONC, Deloitte conducted a survey of 70 IT leaders at health plans and health systems about their attitudes toward interoperability.
