Health System Reduces Readmissions, Lowers Cost of Care, and Builds Cost-Effective Preferred Care Network
Interoperability and care collaboration continue to drive the future of healthcare.

Calls to update patient information were often returned too late to be able to impact the care and prevent hospital readmissions.
