Accelerating interoperability in the post-COVID-19 digital revolution

Communication often happens through outdated technology, which creates gaps in the system, impedes efficient and effective care delivery, and creates an impersonal experience for those in need of your care.
But change is here. New federal rules were passed earlier this year to promote interoperability and give patients and their care providers secure access to health information. Join us for a timely discussion with the interoperability experts at Kno2 who will explain how you can leverage digital solutions to meet interoperability requirements, reduce provider burden, and drive patient satisfaction.

Jon Elwell is Chief Executive Officer at Kno2. He leads the company in its mission to solve interoperability for the healthcare industry and truly transform the way patient information is exchanged.
