It might be the biggest breakthrough of the century or use the newest technology, but healthcare innovation only matters if it meets this one requirement.

Is it accessible? This is the question at the top of Surescripts CEO Frank Harvey’s mind. In this new era of AI, we hear about breakthroughs all the time.

But for Harvey, he’s not interested unless they make a real difference for patients and their care teams.

  • Prioritize interoperability: Seamless data sharing is vital so that innovations can be used across the healthcare ecosystem.
  • Focus on what matters: We need to ask healthcare professionals what they need to make sure we’re solving real problems. We learned so much about prior authorization from a recent survey of prescribers and pharmacists—see what they said and how it’s guiding our work.
