Several strategies can facilitate data interoperability in pediatric healthcare:
Standardized Protocols: Implementing standardized data formats and terminologies, such as HL7 and FHIR, can ensure that information is easily shared and understood across different systems. Interoperable EHR Systems: Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems should be designed to support data exchange with other systems seamlessly. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that data-sharing practices comply with privacy laws and regulations can help safeguard patient information while enabling interoperability. Collaboration: Encouraging collaboration among healthcare providers, IT vendors, and policymakers can drive the development of interoperable systems.
