I just got back from HIMSS 2017 in Orlando, Florida, and if this national conference of health IT professionals had a message, it was this: Patient engagement is the goal, so interoperability is the key. Why is that? Because to truly boost consumer engagement, we need to get our disconnected systems to work together smoothly, and that means we need to get them talking to one another. And how are we going to make this happen? API’s and micro services. I explain in more detail for this issue of eHealthcare Strategy and Trends.
