Hospital Interoperability
Overview
Hospital interoperability refers to the ability of hospitals, healthcare providers, and other organizations to seamlessly connect, exchange, and interpret shared data via computerized systems and software applications across organizations, regions, and countries. Even though many health systems share data, the context is often missing, resulting in insufficient actionable information. Interoperable systems can speak the same language, preserving the data in its original context, which allows end users to interpret and understand the data.
These solutions primarily include clinical data exchange softwares, electronic health record (EHR)/application programming interface (API) integrators, and data interoperability platforms.

Overview
What are EHR systems?
- Clinical and non-clinical data are currently divided into silos with varying data standards, similar to the divisions in paper records, resulting in fragmented data and missed opportunities for preventative care and improved patient health outcomes.
- Outdated legacy health IT systems are incompatible with modern technology, delaying digital transformation efforts.
- Healthcare providers have reportedly restricted patient access to their EHRs, and EHR vendors have been accused of charging healthcare providers additional fees to access or export electronic health information. Interfering with the access to, exchange of, or use of patient information is known as information blocking.
- Using point-to-point integrations to connect different systems is costly to maintain and does not scale across an organization. In the US, most hospitals use at least 10 different systems to obtain a complete database of patient information, which can also result in higher healthcare costs instead of cost savings.
