 Making the Case: An Evolutionary Strategy to Achieve Interoperability
I’m not suggesting that these efforts were ill-advised or ill-conceived. But as I’ve analyzed these initiatives, it has become apparent to me that there may well be a different, strategic approach that can accomplish the interoperability many integrated delivery networks seek and that can bypass many of the innate barriers that have largely stymied these efforts to date. I call this an “evolutionary” or “stepping stone” approach to interoperability.
