Inter-System Communications

One of the main obstacles faced by large healthcare organizations is the inability of the various health information systems to communicate with one another. As an example, a financial system used for patient check-in may not necessarily be compatible with a system that is used for discharge. Conduct some research regarding this dilemma. In a 3 to 4 page APA formatted paper, address the following questions: What is currently being done about this incompatibility? Is the inability to communicate within systems impacting patient care? Is it negatively impacting reimbursement? Do large providers need full time technical support available? To assist with this assignment, it may be beneficial to find a case study related to this problem. Cite your references appropriately.
