As a response to the federal government's electronic health record (EHR) incentive program, NantHealth, the brainchild of medical researcher, professor, surgeon and self-made billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, is working to solve the interoperability crisis and connecting the healthcare industry
According to an article on the Healthcare IT news, NantHealth has built a cloud-based and bi-directional clinical operating system, agnostic to any device or electronic health record.
The idea to develop this company came to Soon-Shiong after the federal government approved the EHR incentive programs.

"My concern is with the way meaningful use has been set up is to capture processes," Soon-Shiong said.
"What we really need to do is capture outcomes."
