Data Interoperability

Meaning

Data interoperability refers to the ability of disparate healthcare information systems, applications, and devices to access, exchange, integrate, and cooperatively use data in a coordinated manner, both within and across organizational boundaries. This crucial capability ensures that patient information, such as diagnostic results, medication histories, and clinical notes, can flow seamlessly between different electronic health records, laboratory systems, and other clinical platforms, fostering a unified understanding of an individual’s physiological state.
