  1. Barriers to EHR interoperability and their solution

  2. Introduction • With the advancement in Information Technology, many software have been developed to save and manage useful information. EHR (Electronic Health Record) is the digital system to manage and save the information of a patient’s paper chart. • It holds the patient’s medical history, diagnosis, medication and some other information related to health. • It helps patients to get the advice of doctors anywhere from the world for better treatment. But some barriers are limiting the use of EHR between health care centers. www.softwarefinder.com 02

  3. Technical Barriers • One of the biggest barriers to EHR interoperability is technical issues. • Due to technical issues hospitals are unable to receive or send the data. • Sometimes it becomes difficult to send or receive the data if the exchange partner doesn’t have EHR. Data quality and data matching is another major technical issue. www.softwarefinder.com 03

  4. Financial Barriers • It can cost a lot for health system providers to develop an EHR system. • The developing, optimizing and maintaining the patient record electronically can be expensive for the organizations who see fewer business incentives in it. www.softwarefinder.com 04

  5. Trust Barriers • Each patient’s data and health record has been taken as an asset for health centers. • Most centers take it as leakage of privacy as they consider each individual’s data as an advantage due to the competitive environment. • Lack of trust between hospitals limiting the use of EHR and exterminates the real purpose of an electronic system. www.softwarefinder.com 05

  6. Administrative Barriers • As EHR saves every record of the patient including administrative information like billing information and federal requirements. • It burdens the EHR system and makes it difficult to move from one place to another electronically. www.softwarefinder.com 06

  7. Reporting Requirements Barriers • There are many set standards associated with electronic health records which are not useful in sharing. • These requirements only create problems with data transfer. • Quality measures report which is not relevant but necessary to add for federal report requirements. www.softwarefinder.com 07

  8. Solutions to EHR interoperability • Adaptability of EHR remains a struggle for hospitals due to obstacles in the implementation. But there are a few solutions which can make it easy to adopt. • There should be a good network available in the health center to send and receive the data from patients. Due to non-necessary administrative details which makes data heavy, while good internet speed can make it easier to transfer the data. www.softwarefinder.com 08
