Abstract

Background: The process of integrating and sharing information across health organizations and system providers is difficult because of the differences in their internal ecosystems and the use of proprietary electronic health record systems. Current studies highlight the advantages of a unified environment for inpatient treatment, with a specific emphasis on enhancing the quality, effectiveness, and long-term viability of healthcare procedures. Aim of Work: This research aims to investigate the benefits of semantic interoperability in electronic health records, enabling the smooth transfer of information across different healthcare entities and sectors within organizations. Methods: Seven databases were searched for papers published between October 2010 and September 2020 as part of an extensive, systematic literature evaluation. The research concentrated on identifying typical situations, methods, and instruments used to tackle interoperability obstacles in healthcare environments. A classification system was presented to describe the discoveries related to semantic interoperability in health records. Results: The research emphasized efficient technologies and methods for attaining semantic interoperability, which allows for the smooth exchange of data and encourages data sharing among healthcare professionals, such as physicians, nurses, labs, and other organizations in the healthcare field.
