Interoperability (Healthcare)
Interoperability in healthcare is the ability of different information systems, devices, and applications to access, exchange, integrate, and cooperatively use data in a coordinated way. It is typically achieved through shared standards such as HL7 v2, HL7 FHIR, and DICOM, and is the foundation for a connected, longitudinal patient record.

FHIR
FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a standard from HL7 for exchanging healthcare information electronically. It models clinical and administrative data as modular 'resources' accessed over standard web APIs (REST/JSON), making it the modern foundation for app integration and data sharing across health systems.

EHR
An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's chart — a real-time, patient-centred record that makes information available securely to authorized users. Unlike a single-practice electronic medical record (EMR), an EHR is built to be shared across providers and care settings to support coordinated, longitudinal care.
