Interoperability refers to the ability of different healthcare systems to exchange and use patient information seamlessly. It is a key component of any successful Integrated Health Information Platform.

Without interoperability, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and pharmacies may struggle to share accurate patient information. This can lead to delayed diagnoses, repeated tests, and fragmented care. Interoperable systems ensure that healthcare professionals have access to consistent and reliable data regardless of where the patient receives treatment.

Standardized data exchange also supports emergency care, specialist referrals, and coordinated treatment plans. As healthcare becomes increasingly digital, interoperability remains essential for improving patient safety, enhancing collaboration, and delivering efficient healthcare services.
