Interoperability

With access to all relevant information—delivered at the speed of now—caregivers can make better, more confident decisions.

Healthcare data is everywhere but unless it’s connected, it has very limited value. Today’s medical- and benefits-related data is typically dispersed across divergent platforms, modalities and devices. Incompatible technology can isolate data to inaccessible silos, causing unnecessary costs and jeopardizing patient care.

Harris Healthcare Solutions bridges these systems and silos through our open, vendor-neutral interoperability solutions. Our standards-based IT solutions operate seamlessly across disparate equipment, networks and legacy systems—allowing customers to maximize their return on investment . . .and their return on information. What’s more, we “future-proof” your systems for high performance, flexibility and affordable sustainability.

Such interoperable information exchange is already in place with solutions like the open-source CONNECT gateway within the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). Designed to facilitate NHIN connectivity, CONNECT provides a standardized process whereby federal agencies and private healthcare providers can safely and securely share healthcare information.

CONNECT is rapidly becoming recognized as the foundation for healthcare interoperability—improving patient care delivery and accelerating access to benefits from months to seconds.
