Home telehealth electronic health information lessons learned.
Interoperability issues are critical for home telehealth applications, electronic health records, electronic medical records, and personal health records. Issues of interoperability affect clinical decision-making and clinician information synthesis. The ability to exchange data collected in the home with an electronic medical record has been positively related to improvements in process outcomes for chronic illness. However, to realize this benefit, risk must be minimized. Evaluation of interoperability challenges and their potential solutions supports data-driven risk management decisions.
