healthcare information systemThis paper describes the use of a new distributed middleware technology Web Services in the proposed Healthcare Information System (HIS) to address the issue of system interoperability raised from existing Healthcare Information systems. With the development of HISs, hospitals...
It empowers healthcare providers with comprehensive, up-to-date patient information, reduces errors, and ultimately, saves lives. In this blog post, we'll delve deeper into the world of healthcare interoperability, exploring its challenges, solutions, and why it's the cornerstone of the health...
An example of foundational interoperability is sharing a PDF document that contains a summary of the patient's hospital stay and discharge medication list with another system. The receiving system can store the PDF and the clinician can read the document to inform care delivery. However, the...
When structural interoperability, or structured transport, is achieved, all the data is standardized to a particular format so it can be interpreted by multiple systems or devices. This data is organized in a particular order so the receiving system can automatically detect specific data fields. Dat...
Chapter 1: What Is Interoperability? The U.S. healthcare system is a vast web of systems, applications, and data. The majority of hospitals and private practices have implemented an EHR of some kind, which is helpful, but most of these systems are completely separate, often from different ...

From the global strategic plan, global components of the operational plan (such as the target architecture for the global health enterprise architecture, interoperability standards, and a common governance process) can be developed. The result should be a streamlined process where each country can ...
How are tech giants and digital health startups using cloud, health information exchanges (HIEs), and AI to address long-standing interoperability issues in the US healthcare system? What opportunities have the federal data-sharing mandates of April 2021 created for vendors with interoperability-foc...
Building an Interoperable Healthcare System in the Future The interoperability in healthcare has managed to create significant strides since the onset of Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) was passed. With the implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act, healthcare...
network. However, mainly local initiatives were deployed. In this sense, significant challenges remain to be addressed, such as infrastructure in healthcare centers, including high-speed Internet connectivity; infostructure of health-information systems, including interoperability with electronic medical ...
