What are the interoperability challenges in healthcare technology?
Interoperability challenges arise when different healthcare technologies and systems cannot effectively share and use information. This can lead to:
Data silos where patient information is fragmented across various systems, making it difficult for nurses to get a comprehensive view of a patient's history. Inconsistencies in patient data, which can result in medication errors or inappropriate treatments. Increased administrative workload as nurses may need to manually transfer or duplicate data across systems.
