Physician executive Steven Lane discusses his article, "Why interoperability is key to achieving the quintuple aim in health care." He explains that true interoperability is not just about technology but about aligning people, processes, and IT systems to allow patient information to flow seamlessly across all members of a care team. Steven argues that interoperability is one of the few factors in health care that can positively influence all five goals of the Quintuple Aim. He details how connected data leads to a better patient experience, improved clinical outcomes, lower costs, greater provider satisfaction, and better health equity. The conversation highlights that technology alone isn't a silver bullet; real progress depends on educating clinicians on how to use available data exchange tools and fostering a collaborative mindset. By embracing its full potential, interoperability can become a foundational element of a more modern, efficient, and equitable health care system.
