Video: How CommonWell is trying to solve healthcare's interoperablity problem

Jitin Asnaani, executive director of the CommonWell Health Alliance, says the vendor collective is giving members a low-cost way to allow customers to exchange healthcare data among software products. The not-for-profit alliance includes nearly all of the major electronic health record companies, including Cerner Corp., Allscripts and Meditech (although not Epic Systems Corp.). Modern Healthcare reporter Joseph Conn interviewed Asnaani on the floor of the 2015 conference and exhibition of the Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society in Chicago.
