Preliminary Assessment of the Interoperability Maturity of Healthcare Digital Services vs Public Services of Other Sectors
Abstract
The development of electronic services for healthcare presents challenges related to the effective cooperation of systems and stakeholders in a highly regulated environment. Assessing the interoperability maturity of the provided services helps to identify interoperability issues in public administration. This paper presents a typical healthcare digital service: the inpatient admission in a public hospital in Greece. The Interoperability Maturity Model (IMM) is applied to assess its maturity, identify improvement priorities, and compare it with digital services of the healthcare sector. An analysis is also performed to compare a group of fourteen healthcare digital public services with sixty-seven public services of other sectors in the country. The IMM is a useful tool to facilitate awareness raising and priority setting concerning interoperability in public administration. What is discovered, through this preliminary assessment, is that healthcare digital services seem to have higher overall interoperability maturity than those of other sectors in Greece.
