Data Readiness: The Foundation for Scalable AI

HIMSS Market Insights Study

Healthcare’s AI Ambitions Face a Data Reckoning

HIMSS Market Insights Research Offers Insights into Data Readiness

While interoperability has come a long way, healthcare leaders increasingly recognise that simply moving data between systems is no longer enough. Once data has been moved from one location to another, it needs to be usable by the second location, meaning it must be clean and aggregated so analytics and AI tools can gain actionable intelligence from it. HIMSS Market Insights and InterSystems conducted a study assessing the state of data integration in U.S. healthcare organisations, and its findings are summarised in this white paper from InterSystems

One Patient, One Record Healthcare organisations rely on a wide range of systems to deliver care — from EHRs and pharmacy software to scheduling tools and billing platforms. But when each system stores patient data separately, inconsistencies, duplicate records and identity challenges can disrupt care and limit AI implementation, workflow optimisation and data exchange. Recent HIMSS Market Insights research confirms that healthcare leaders recognise the strategic importance of accurate patient identity data, yet persistent issues continue to undermine progress.

Enterprise Master Person Index
Next-Generation Enterprise Master Person Index for Identity Management Seamless patient, member, and beneficiary identification is essential for efficient operations across healthcare organisations and government agencies. Yet, fragmented systems, inconsistent identifiers, and data gaps continue to disrupt workflows, increase costs, and compromise care quality and service delivery. 35% of denied medical claims stem from inaccurate patient identification¹, while mergers and affiliations further complicate record consolidation. Even within a single information system, duplicate or overlaid records can introduce inefficiencies and risks; by creating costly administrative burdens and compromising the accuracy of AI workflows built on unreliable data. To maintain data integrity and prevent cascading errors, organisations must be able to detect problematic records in real time and trigger corrective actions.
