Achieving seamless interoperability within the National Health Service (NHS) is crucial for improving patient care, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. This session investigates the current interoperability challenges faced by the NHS, including fragmented IT systems, data silos, and inconsistent standards. We’ll discuss a comprehensive approach to overcoming these barriers through the adoption of standardized protocols, interoperable electronic health records (EHRs), and robust health information exchange (HIE) frameworks.
