## Resource

Gurpreet (GP) Singh, SVP, Interoperability Strategy & Solutions at ELLKAY, shared in our recent interview that the exchange of health care data between organizations is still a "luxury." Although standards for representing data are in place and a lot of progress has been made, organizations are still operating with "silos" of data and aren't able to derive the value it promises in AI and other applications. Every organization should combine its data into a single platform that handles the three aspects of data: the data network (its sources), universal access to data, and data aggregation (which includes normalization and data quality). ELLKAY is well positioned to create this platform, because it works with lab data, hospitals, ambulatory facilities, and legacy data.
