Written specifically for healthcare executives, clinical leaders, operational leaders, and digital health professionals, this practical guide focuses on what matters most: using interoperability to improve patient care, strengthen provider relationships, streamline operations, and create lasting business value.

More than a technical reference, this book provides a strategic roadmap for leading interoperability initiatives with confidence.
