Digital health ecosystems often involve multiple organisations, systems and data flows. A technically successful integration can still fail if the workflow is confusing, unreliable or difficult for users and operations teams.

- Security and observability.
- Clear workflows for providers and patients.
The outcome
Interoperability becomes valuable when the connected ecosystem produces a better outcome — not merely when systems can exchange data.
