Healthcare interoperability refers to timely and secure access, integration and use of electronic health data so that it can be used to optimize health outcomes for individuals and populations. It is the ability of two or more systems to exchange health information and use the info once it is received. Healthcare interoperability solutions enable healthcare organizations worldwide to comply with regulations and exceed consumer expectations with secure exchange. Healthcare interoperability is crucial for seamless data transfer between different healthcare systems and personalized care delivery for patients. The solution is intended to streamline care and promote patient-centered care while also lowering healthcare costs, and improves the delivery of health care by making the right data available at the right time to the right people.
Market Statistics:
The global healthcare interoperability solutions market is estimated to account for US$ 3,610.24 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2022.
Drivers:
Government funding for healthcare interoperability and/or government initiatives to enhance patient care and safety is expected to boost the growth of the global healthcare interoperability solutions market during the forecast period. In March 2022, eHealth Exchange announced the launch of its new Innovation Grant program. The program will disburse as much as $ 550,000 in grants and incentives to help catalyze new and innovative ways to boost electronic health information exchange or build new technical connectivity tools. The Grant is open to eHealth Exchange participants and any eHealth Exchange-eligible applicants.
Opportunities:
Increase in adoption of electronic health records and other healthcare IT solutions is expected to provide significant growth opportunities for players in the global healthcare interoperability solutions market. In July 2021, Infor, the industry cloud company, announced its FHIR Server, the company's vision for helping healthcare organizations better leverage & analyze their data. Built on the latest web technologies, Infor FHIR Server is one of the most advanced, modern, and scalable FHIR servers available.
