Interoperability's next chapter: How healthcare leaders are reenvisioning connected care


Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT

Interoperability has long been healthcare's unfinished project.

Despite decades of investment, the industry still operates within fragmented data environments that struggle to keep pace with care delivered across hospitals, physician groups, labs, post-acute providers and community settings.

As care delivery grows more distributed and value-based payment accelerates, the question is no longer whether organizations should share data, but how they can do so at scale — efficiently, securely and sustainably.

In this webinar, healthcare leaders will discuss how they're adapting interoperability strategies to meet current demands and what it takes to translate shared data into stronger care coordination, operational performance and patient experience.

Insights include:
 
  • Where the biggest gaps and friction points exist in data exchange today, from technical barriers to governance challenges
  • How distributed care models are changing interoperability strategy, with examples of recent operational and technical shifts
  • Where point-to-point integrations fall short and what defines a more scalable, enterprisewide connectivity approach
  • Which metrics and indicators leaders use to assess whether interoperability investments are improving workflows, coordination and performance
