What are the Challenges to Achieving Enhanced Interoperability?
Despite its benefits, achieving enhanced interoperability comes with several challenges:
Technical Barriers: Different healthcare systems and devices often use incompatible data formats and protocols, making integration difficult. Data Privacy and Security: Ensuring the secure exchange of sensitive patient information while maintaining privacy is a significant concern. Cost: Implementing interoperable systems can be expensive, requiring significant investment in technology and training. Regulatory Compliance: Navigating the complex landscape of healthcare regulations and standards can be challenging.
