Abstract:
Monitoring the state of interoperability is important to assess current policies and identify ways to advance the electronic exchange of health information. In this data brief, we describe the progress hospitals made in four interoperability domains--sending, receiving, finding, and integrating electronic health information. The data brief shows that engagement in interoperability varies among small, rural, and critical access hospitals (CAHs). These hospitals often possess infrastructure that lags behind their counterparts. Yet, small, rural, and CAHs deliver vital health care to diverse subpopulations. We also present data on reported barriers to interoperability and hospitals' rates of availability and use of electronic health information at the point of care.
