Where Interoperability Strategy Falls Short—And How to Fix It 

Hospitals and health systems have spent years trying to connect data, systems, and care teams. But the interoperability road is still riddled with friction—especially for CIOs leading complex IT environments. 

Despite big investments, even the most strategic teams fall into traps that delay outcomes, limit visibility, and erode trust in the data. 

The hidden cost of getting it wrong  

Whether it’s redundant patient records, delayed lab results, or stalled analytics initiatives, the consequences of poor integration run deep. And the root causes are surprisingly common. 

A new white paper from Rhapsody and CHIME Digital Health Insights breaks down the 5 most critical interoperability missteps healthcare leaders make—and offers a clear path forward. 

What you’ll learn:  

✔ Why data governance gaps create safety and compliance risks 

✔ How outdated architecture fails to scale for modern data volumes 

✔ The cost of “stack sprawl” in integration tools and vendors 

✔ How to think beyond on-prem deployments for security 

✔ What future-ready CIOs are doing to prepare for FHIR, AI, and TEFCA

Healthcare data is growing 47% annually. Digital Health initiatives are expanding. And staffing shortages are stretching IT teams thin. There’s no room for inefficiency or guesswork. 

This resource helps you get ahead of change—with a strategy that scales, secures, and simplifies your environment. 

If you’re responsible for integration strategy, data operations, or digital transformation—this is the clarity you’ve been looking for.
