Healthcare interoperability is one of the most talked-about topics in digital health, but separating real solutions from marketing claims isn’t always easy.

Kno2fy is back! Co-hosts Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole are joined by Matt Becker, SVP of Interoperability and Public Policy at Kno2, and interoperability expert Brendan Keeler of HTD Health to talk about the reality behind interoperability in healthcare.

With HIMSS around the corner, they get into what healthcare leaders, technology vendors, and interoperability teams should look for when evaluating solutions. They discuss why interoperability is often misunderstood, what it actually takes to connect healthcare organizations at scale, and why building trusted networks across the care continuum is harder than most vendors claim.

The conversation also explores the importance of connecting the entire care continuum, including post-acute care, behavioral health, EMS, and home care to create a true longitudinal patient record.

If you're heading to HIMSS and trying to understand which interoperability solutions are real and which are just “interoperability theater,” this episode will help you ask better questions and cut through the hype.
