What is interoperability?
Interoperability is the ability of computer systems to communicate with one another, exchange information, and utilize the information that is being exchanged. Interoperability in healthcare is important for three main reasons.
First, being that it places patients at the center of their care. With interoperability, PHI is transferred seamlessly and securely throughout a variety of sources.
Second, individuals have access to all of their health information from numerous health systems in one place.
Third, public health agencies and medical researchers are able to access data in order to be able to quickly learn, create, and implement cutting edge treatments to improve health outcomes overall.
