IOL 101: The Role of Standards and Interoperability in Philippine Digital Health Strategy

The Philippine Digital Health Strategy emphasizes the critical role of standards and interoperability in enhancing healthcare delivery across the nation. By adopting international health standards and creating interoperable systems, the strategy aims to ensure that various health information systems across different healthcare facilities, regions, and sectors can communicate and exchange data seamlessly. This promotes efficient, secure, and accurate data sharing, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions, improving patient outcomes, and streamlining healthcare processes.

The focus on interoperability also supports national health programs by facilitating real-time data access and analytics for better health planning, policy-making, and management.
