Apple’s foray into health records rallied the likes of Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, and athenahealth to build a network of data integration. Meanwhile the ONC has doubled down on data sharing. This renewed energy has many people wondering if 2018 is the year we finally reach a standard of interoperability that meets the collective needs of patients, policy-makers, and clinical decision-makers. In this panel discussion, Dr. Shrestha and panelists will explore the transition into cloud-based networks, answer the question “who controls the data?” and discuss how we got here and where we’re going.
