The healthcare industry is at the cutting-edge of technology. The quality of patient care in 2019 has never been higher. However, the administration and data processing underlying the treatment is lagging far behind. Lack of interoperability with EHR is one of today’s barriers to healthcare organizations. Open standards initiatives such as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) have begun to address these problems. However, they are not mature enough to completely support interoperability. Organizations are optimistic that blockchain healthcare solutions development can be the game-changer that will continue to bring interoperability.
