Interview with IBM Cloud CTO on FHIR and healthcare interoperability
FHIR was already getting a lot of attention by this point, but the interesting questions were no longer about whether the standard mattered. They were about the operational work needed to make it useful across real healthcare systems.
This conversation focused on that practical layer: adoption hurdles, interoperability strategy, and how cloud choices intersect with standards once you move past the PowerPoint phase.
