During the discussion, Burke agreed with a recent Chilmark Research assessment that healthcare providers share much of the blame for the slow pace of data sharing. “The data-hoarding issues are broader than the vendors,” Burke said. More than a few organizations, including Cerner customers, have not made interoperability a priority.

Burke discussed fee-for-service as a root of some of these problems, and addressed the newly published interoperability roadmap as well as how he thinks the state of interoperatbility fits into today’s healthcare market.
