Data interoperability is a critical component of the health of patients and the industry as a whole, and 1upHealth is well on its way to making the ‘interoperability dream' a reality and improving healthcare for all," said Boyd. "With more than 80 leading healthcare organizations already experiencing what's possible with our modern data platform, I am looking forward to building on 1upHealth's many accomplishments and leading this powerhouse company into its next phase of innovation and growth to become healthcare's undisputed interoperability leader."
