“…For an interoperable ecosystem to be effective, practitioners value the extent of management facilitation and support to be crucial together with the education and training of medical staff in digital working environments. The study, therefore, supports the suggestions by, Umberfield et al (2023) and Cuevas‐González et al (2022) which mention the need for the creation of standards and formats in eHealthcare systems creation. Therefore, practitioners need induction and training on the usage of standardized terminology in the interoperable healthcare library as it is critical to allow standardized information structures and homogeneity of DA.…”

AbstracteHealth systems have been created in most developing countries to facilitate the functioning of healthcare operations and as such various healthcare applications are existing as fragmented silo systems. Such autonomous standalone systems do not communicate through a network thereby making it a challenge to share healthcare data. Therefore, to re‐engineer health information systems (HISs) to develop interoperable adaptive enterprise architecture (EA) systems for healthcare, the study aimed to discover and capture healthcare interoperability functional imperatives through understanding the expectations of healthcare practitioners and patients on post‐development of an interoperable HIS. Therefore, the study's aim was to determine the HISs interoperability perceived functional expectations by both patients and practitioners in fulfilling their healthcare receipt and provision needs in an integrated healthcare environment, respectively. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) was used as the main study framework to guide the classification of the expectations from the HIS by patients and practitioners deriving the needs from the four domains which are, business architecture (BA), application architecture (AA), data architecture (DA), and technical architecture. The study used interviews and questionnaire surveys to collect qualitative and quantitative data respectively. The study used purposive sampling to select interview participants. A total of 19 interviews were conducted with healthcare practitioners. Questionnaires were collected from 71 healthcare practitioners and 143 patients and analyzed quantitatively respectively to understand the most significant needs anticipated in an interoperable HIS. The research targeted age groups of at least 20 years and above. The study discovered that patients and practitioners expect the interoperable healthcare environment to support the acquisition of disease knowledge through healthcare surveillance synergies; create healthcare awareness through coordinated digital interactions; augmentation of healthcare intelligence for patient‐care through the healthcare knowledgebase; allow treatment collaboration by various healthcare practitioners in the healthcare ecosystem and mostly achieving a guaranteed healthcare system security and assurance environment.

The German initiative “National Research Data Infrastructure for Personal Health Data” (NFDI4Health) focuses on research data management in health research. It aims to foster and develop harmonized informatics standards for public health, epidemiological studies, and clinical trials, facilitating access to relevant data and metadata standards. This publication lists syntactic and semantic data standards of potential use for NFDI4Health and beyond, based on interdisciplinary meetings and workshops, mappings of study questionnaires and the NFDI4Health metadata schema, and literature search. Included are 7 syntactic, 32 semantic and 9 combined syntactic and semantic standards. In addition, 101 ISO Standards from ISO/TC 215 Health Informatics and ISO/TC 276 Biotechnology could be identified as being potentially relevant. The work emphasizes the utilization of standards for epidemiological and health research data ensuring interoperability as well as the compatibility to NFDI4Health, its use cases, and to (inter-)national efforts within these sectors. The goal is to foster collaborative and inter-sectoral work in health research and initiate a debate around the potential of using common standards.
