Discussion Breakout Sessions | Interoperability in Real Life Participants break into small groups for a facilitated exploration of health data interoperability in their day-to-day life. Whether you’re a clinician, a software engineer, a patient or whānau, health data interoperability matters to you. When it works, it saves time and money, and it improves patient outcomes. When it doesn’t … it doesn’t. By the end of the session, participants will identify the data sharing opportunities that matter most. Each group will report back on their findings, which will be compiled into a communique to inform HISO’s renewal of the interoperability roadmap. Facilitators: Mia van Dorp, Demi Meiklejohn and Evan Li
