HIMSS Interoperability

HIMSS Interoperability refers to the ability of different healthcare systems and devices to effectively communicate and share patient information. It ensures that medical data such as test results, diagnoses, and treatment plans can flow seamlessly between hospitals, clinics, labs, and electronic health record (EHR) systems. This facilitates coordinated care, reduces errors, and improves patient outcomes. Achieving interoperability involves setting standards so diverse technology platforms can understand and exchange information reliably, leading to more efficient and connected healthcare delivery.
