Did you know that 76% of healthcare professionals see a direct link between connected solutions and better patient outcomes?
NextGen Healthcare recently announced findings of a new national poll of ambulatory healthcare decision-makers that showed providers believe an interoperability solution is essential to unlocking the potential of health data to improve quality of care and care delivery. As healthcare is increasingly delivered in ambulatory settings, it is important that clinical data follows the patient’s journey across a broad ecosystem of providers and venues. Secure health data exchange is a necessary component to enhancing healthcare delivery and outcomes.
Three Key Trends in Connected Health:
- Healthcare organizations view interoperability as essential to patient experience and outcomes: 76% of survey respondents see a direct connection between having an interoperability solution and achieving better patient outcomes.
- Integration is an important consideration for providers: For 57% of organizations, integrating an interoperability solution with their existing EHR is the most critical challenge they face when optimizing their health IT.
- Respondents foresee interoperability will streamline workflows and automate tasks: 83% of surveyed providers want interoperability solutions that offer both convenience (e.g., ease of use) and automation (e.g., ease of access to actionable health information) to support clinical decision making.
The survey of 100 ambulatory care leaders was conducted by Xtelligent Healthcare Media and commissioned by NextGen Healthcare. A report based on the survey results concluded that efforts to integrate health information systems and data are accelerating, allowing greater access to patient information across the industry.
