The average person sees more than 18 providers in their lifetime, with records scattered throughout various medical systems and doctors' offices across hometowns, states and even the country. Ensuring providers have access to their patient's records, regardless of who provided the care has been a long- standing struggle. Hear from a practicing physician about how this accessible data, using standardized industry methods, is delivering value to himself, his organization and his patients.

ONC recently dialed back the rigors of its EHR certification attestation requirements in a move to put greater focus on interoperability. While some cite the impact to patient safety, standards have afforded safeguards to protect patients from harm, giving providers actionable information at the point of care. In this session, we will examine the impact and opportunity for three NCPDP standards to move the needle on health outcomes - from wellness and prevention to chronic/specialty care and our national opioid epidemic.
