When software experts talk about the future of the outpatient facility, they use words like "connectivity," "interoperability," and "standardization." Although these terms have different meanings, they are all paths to the same vision. Within the next five years, experts predict that virtually all types of computer software and hardware will be able to communicate intelligently and rapidly, greatly reducing the administrative redundancies that now keep staffing costs up and stymie even your best efforts at further improving efficiency.
