What are the Solutions to Overcome These Challenges?
Several strategies can help overcome the challenges of data interoperability in cancer care:
Adoption of Standards: Utilizing universal standards such as HL7, FHIR, and DICOM can facilitate data exchange and integration. Privacy-Preserving Technologies: Implementing encryption, de-identification, and secure data-sharing platforms can protect patient information. Interoperability Frameworks: Developing and adopting interoperability frameworks like the ONC Interoperability Roadmap can guide institutions in achieving seamless data exchange. Collaboration and Partnerships: Encouraging collaboration between technology providers, healthcare institutions, and regulatory bodies can drive the development of interoperable solutions.
