Electronic health records (EHR) interoperability is the ability to effectively exchange and use information between different EHR systems. This capability makes it possible to provide continuity of care by making information about a patient’s medical history easily accessible to other providers once they have been treated at one hospital.

In cloud computing, interoperability means systems from different cloud service providers can work together and share data. Cloud interoperability is not only a technical issue, but also involves the ability to use management tools, server images and other software across platforms.

An interoperability standard allows different systems, devices or component to communicate and work together smoothly. They provide specific instructions on how to apply standards to particular use cases, ensuring consistency and reducing ambiguity in the implementation process.
