Patients benefit from interoperable systems in several ways: 1. Continuity of Care: Seamless data exchange ensures that all healthcare providers have up-to-date information, which is crucial for ongoing treatment and follow-ups. 2. Reduced Errors: Access to comprehensive patient data minimizes the risk of medical errors due to incomplete or inaccurate information. 3. Convenience: Patients do not need to provide the same information repeatedly, making their healthcare experience smoother and more efficient. 4. Informed Decisions: With complete access to their health data, patients can make more informed decisions about their care.
