Your HIE is being asked to do more than move data from point A to point B. Members, providers, and communities expect trusted, usable data that supports care delivery, analytics, public health, and day-to-day decisions, all while your team manages growing data quality demands, legacy interfaces, governance requirements, and limited staff.
Join Rhapsody and Civitas Networks for Health for a member-led session featuring leaders from CliniSync, Ohio’s statewide HIE, who’ll share a real-world case study on modernizing integration workflows with AI.
You’ll learn:
- How CliniSync tackled a tough data quality challenge across Ohio’s statewide HIE
- What it really takes to modernize integration workflows without losing the people and process expertise that got you here
- Practical ways AI can speed up integration work and take pressure off lean teams
- How to think about AI-assisted integration for your own roadmap
- Where to start if data quality at scale is your next big lift
Who should watch:
- HIE leaders and integration teams evaluating AI for interoperability initiatives
- Integration and data quality staff looking to simplify day-to-day data feed management
- IT and operations leaders exploring real-world approaches to scaling data quality
- Anyone weighing how AI fits into an existing integration environment without adding complexity
