2019 HRS White Paper on Interoperability of Data from Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices

On May 8, 2019, the Society released the HRS White Paper on Interoperability of Data from Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices, which provides a brief overview of U.S. federal initiatives to promote interoperability of data, the requirements needed to communicate data between information technology systems in a way that permits the sending and receiving systems to understand and process the data, a summary of the work of HRS to date, and finally strategies for clinicians seeking an environment in which they can manage their cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) patient data in a single IT system.
