Episode 93: Reimagining Interoperability: Helping Health Care Organizations Address Drivers of Health at Scale

In this episode, Kathleen Wessel, vice president of business management and operations at the American Hospital Association, is joined by Katie Keating, vice president of ​​solutions engineering at Unite Us. Join us as we explore how hospitals are addressing drivers of health such as housing, food, and transportation by embedding community referrals into EHRs and care systems. This enables care teams to respond to non-medical needs within clinical workflows using scalable, privacy-conscious integrations like SMART on FHIR and APIs.
