The Dual Journey: Healthcare Interoperability and Modernization

Healthcare interoperability, the ability of IT systems to enable timely and secure access, integration, and use of electronic health data, is a fundamental necessity in healthcare. The modernization of healthcare IT systems and achieving interoperability are two sides of the same coin, both requiring significant investments and a focus on transitioning from application-driven to data-driven architecture. MongoDB's document data model supports the JSON format, just like FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) and other interoperability standards, making it a more efficient and flexible data platform for developing healthcare applications beyond the limitations of external APIs. By embracing MongoDB, healthcare organizations can unlock the full potential of their data, leading to improved patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
