Beyond FHIR: Why True Healthcare Interoperability Needs AI

It’s time to flip the script on interoperability—specifically, how to achieve it.

For years, there’s been a push for a FHIR-only standard for interoperability. It’s based on the idea that if organizations are going to seamlessly send, receive, find, and integrate information, they need a common standard for communication. 

This movement marked an important step forward for the healthcare industry, and on the surface, it seems like a viable path forward. The problem: Some organizations—typically small facilities—can’t afford the technologies that would make conforming to such a standard possible. 

That’s why true interoperability must incorporate a multi-channel mindset. In an era of fast advancement spurred by artificial intelligence (AI), it’s not impossible to imagine a world where AI software alone could bridge gaps in communication between disparate systems for a multi-channel approach.
