Solution interoperability is the ability of different healthcare industry software systems, devices, and applications to communicate with each other, seamlessly exchange data and information, and work together in a coordinated fashion. It is the central nervous system that powers health system business objectives and strategy. Until relatively recently, interoperability was largely an IT function with a point-to-point approach. Policy changes like the 2014 HITEC Act and the 2016 21st Century Cures Act established broader data sharing standards and created the necessary regulatory framework to support effective and secure information sharing. In 2020, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) issued the Cures Act Final Rule, which clarified and enforced regulations related to information sharing among healthcare organizations and patients’ access to their electronic health data.

Recently, I had the privilege of attending the AHA Rural Health Conference, a gathering that brings together healthcare professionals, administrators, and advocates from across the nation to address the unique challenges and opportunities within rural healthcare. The experience was not only enlightening but also deeply inspiring, highlighting the resilience, innovation, and dedication of those at the forefront of rural health. Reflecting on the conference, I’d like to share three key themes and takeaways that resonated with me, in the hope of offering some insights and encouragement to others navigating this vital field.
