Healthcare Interoperability Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type of solution (Software Solutions , Services), By Interoperability Levels (Foundational Interoperability, Structural Interoperability, Semantic Interoperability, Organisational Interoperability), By End User (Healthcare provider, Diagnostic and imaging centres, Payers, Pharmacies, Others (Accountable care organisation, blood banks and academic research centres) ) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Healthcare interoperability is a system which enables exchange of electronic health records (HER) and other healthcare information among various parties involved, including healthcare facilities, insurance providers, etc. This system allows information to be shared, accessed and coordinated seamlessly. Healthcare interoperability is essential for healthcare systems and their infrastructure to function efficiently. The nature of healthcare interoperability market is extremely challenging due its highly personalized integration, delivery of personalized care and scaling of healthcare interoperability systems. Innovators are now addressing these issues which are driving the global healthcare interoperability market. For instance, in July 2021, according to Centre of Medicare Services, the presence of new policies developed for improving healthcare data standardization and adoption of new electronic standards such as HL7 FHIR represents progress in the field of healthcare interoperability. The primary aim of this policy is to make healthcare data comprehensive, complete and capable to drive better patient-centric decisions.

Moreover, key players in the market are developing innovative healthcare interoperability systems focusing on bidirectional data exchange, provider connectivity and defining interoperability standards to gain competitive advantage. 

Major factors driving growth for healthcare interoperability market are patient-centric care delivery programs and government initiatives for healthcare interoperability. These are mainly focused on enhancing patient care and safety. Moreover, expensive healthcare system and subsequent need of curbing healthcare costs is a growing need of healthcare which may encourage market growth. Also, improvements in connectivity between healthcare facilities and auxiliary departments is anticipated to promote the growth of healthcare interoperability market in near future. Additionally, upcoming applications of interoperability solutions such as computer-assisted medical coding, medical machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) are likely to support market growth for healthcare interoperability.

Regional Analysis:

Geographically, the healthcare interoperability market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America is anticipated to account for largest share of the healthcare interoperability market. The dominance is attributable to well-developed healthcare facilities, higher acceptance rate of new technologies and trainability of technicians. In July 2021, Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services, deployed policies focused on hospitals with EHR capabilities to send admission, discharge and transfer notifications to other providers. This will enforce requirements for certain payers to support patient access along with reducing the burden of administrative processes.

Europe is estimated to show a positive projection in global healthcare interoperability market due to government policies being stringent in addressing a common sharing platform for healthcare interoperability. For instance, in June 2021, According to European Commission, the Recommendation on a European electronic health record exchange format seeks to facilitate the cross-border interoperability of electronic health records in the EU. Asia Pacific may show a higher growth rate due to developing healthcare systems in emerging countries.

Moreover, government initiatives pushing insurance based healthcare mandates is another factor that incentivizes acceptance of healthcare interoperability market. For instance, in April 2021, Integrated Health Information Systems has partnered with trade associations such as General Insurance Association Singapore and Life Insurance Association Singapore to create an integrated platform that enables faster processing of hospitalization claims. Latin America is an emerging economy which may turn out to be price sensitive as healthcare interoperability incurs considerable cost for establishment and habituation. Nonetheless, it may grow in the future. Middle East-Africa are relatively emerging markets with emphasis on GCC and certain parts of Africa which may show better acceptance of healthcare interoperability, thereby promoting growth of the global healthcare interoperability market.

Healthcare Interoperability Market Industry Developments

• In July 2021, Cerner Corporation announced expansion of their two-decade relationship with Baystate Health by introducing a digital health platform to integrate care delivery and financing systems for a more consumer-focused approach to patient care. This digital innovation will help improve patient access to personalized care, provide clinicians with clearer views into patient populations, and use data to drive more effective disease management and virtual health experiences.


• In July 2021, Infor announced its FHIR Server, the company’s vision for helping healthcare organizations better leverage and analyse their data. Built on the latest web technologies, Infor FHIR server is one of the most advanced, modern, and scalable FHIR servers commercially available.


• In April 2020, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has unveiled a new FHIR-based application called eCR Now, that aims to give public health officials a more detailed and real-time view of the spread of COVID-19. This is due to COVID-19 being designated as a reportable condition, meaning healthcare providers are mandated by state law to report incidences of the disease to public health officials. eCR now aims to enable that.
