Interoperability refers to the ability of different healthcare systems—such as EHRs, lab software, pharmacy platforms, and insurance portals—to exchange, interpret, and use data effectively across organizations.

When done right, interoperability allows:

• Real-time access to comprehensive patient data

• Faster diagnosis and more personalised treatment

• Fewer redundant tests and lower operational costs

• Seamless coordination between providers and payers

Yet in many healthcare settings—especially in Europe—legacy systems, siloed databases, and inconsistent data standards make this difficult.

While digital healthcare adoption is rising, key barriers remain across both Portugal and the UK:

Fragmented Systems – Most hospitals and clinics use different software solutions with poor integration capabilities. This creates data silos and duplication.

Lack of Standardized APIs and Data Formats – Without common standards (like FHIR or HL7), data exchange becomes unreliable and expensive to maintain.

Security and Regulatory Compliance – Organizations fear opening up systems due to GDPR and local data protection rules—even when data sharing benefits patients.

Limited IT Resources – Many providers don’t have in-house teams equipped to build or maintain secure, scalable integrations.
