ONC's Steven Posnack on Improving Interoperability

However, once these technologies are interoperable, there are a multitude of benefits, and likely more which ONC hasn’t even thought of yet, he added.

“There are a lot of different benefits, ranging first and foremost to clinicians having the data available for the right patient at the right time to provide the right care.” Mr Posnack said.
