While Interoperability has been a buzzword for ages, health plans face new and increasing pressures to embrace innovation that implements data sharing and connectivity across payers, providers, and patients.

Demands to increase operational efficiency, improve clinical quality, and drive value for health plan members, paired with government policies related to Interoperability - such as the recent CMS Interoperability rules focused on enabling consumers to be active partners in their healthcare - are accelerating the adoption of interoperable technologies and strategies for health plans.

This session will provide insight into the strategic drivers of clinical data interoperability initiatives and highlight methods to improve efficiency and performance in health risk, quality, and value-based care programs. We will describe areas that payers and providers should examine and address to optimize payer-provider collaboration and data interoperability for the benefits of all stakeholders, while advancing toward the primary objective of impacting person-centered, value-based care.
 

Learning objectives

1. Identify key areas that must be addressed for success with interoperability
2. List the advantages of implementing a cross-functional, collaborative interoperability strategy
3. Describe an innovative approach to enhancing value-based analytics capabilities
