In the context of health care, the term interoperability refers to the ability of differing health software applications to exchange data meaningfully with each other. It is an essential pillar supporting the delivery of safe diagnosis and ongoing treatment wherever multiple providers are involved in the care of the same person.
The significance of interoperability is based on the fundamental importance of accurate, up-to-date, and unambiguous information in providing safe and meaningful care. Healthcare providers need information regarding the patient to make crucial decisions regarding diagnoses, medications, and treatment plans. Decisions based on partial information involve a degree of patient risk. Missing information (e.g., recent lab results, medications prescribed by another provider, or present or past conditions) may result in misdiagnoses, inappropriate treatments, or prescriptions. These have significant potential for patient harm.
