摘要：

Continua Health Alliance is formed in an effort to develop interoperability guidelines for the emerging personal telehealth ecosystem. The guidelines will be based on a comprehensive set of industry standards, which will serve as a blueprint for integrating a product into the ecosystem. The process Continua uses to develop its interoperability guidelines is centered on the use of industry standards. It starts by evaluating member-submitted use cases about interoperability problems related to one of the three focus area. Continua has been collecting trial data from the US and Europe to demonstrate the benefits of the interoperable healthcare ecosystem to insurance providers. It is also facilitating government and insurance reimbursement discussions to ensure that the economies of the system work for all concerned.
