What are the Challenges in Implementing Interoperability?
While the benefits are clear, implementing interoperability comes with its own set of challenges:
1. Complexity: Integrating multiple systems can be technically complex and may require specialized knowledge. 2. Cost: Initial setup costs can be high, although these are often offset by long-term savings. 3. Data Security: Ensuring that data remains secure while being exchanged between systems is a critical concern. 4. Resistance to Change: Employees and stakeholders may resist changes to existing workflows and systems.
