Importance of Interoperability in Healthcare
In today’s healthcare landscape, patients frequently receive treatment from many doctors in various healthcare locations. Interoperability is critical in this complicated context. Interoperability refers to the capacity of multiple healthcare systems and technology to interact and share data easily, increasing the quality and continuity of patient treatment. With the promise to improve speed, accuracy, and patient outcomes, interoperability has become critical for healthcare professionals, governments, and patients. In short, interoperability is the glue that ties the modern healthcare system together, ensuring patients receive the best possible treatment at every point of their healthcare journey.
Consider interoperability a common language that various systems (such as mobile applications, third-party systems, electronic health records, and others) utilize to interact. They do this through healthcare data interchange architectures, application programming interfaces, and standards.
