Despite its importance, achieving interoperability in epidemiology faces several challenges:
Data Standardization: Different systems often use varying formats, terminologies, and coding systems, making it difficult to integrate data from multiple sources. Privacy and Security: Ensuring the privacy and security of health data while sharing it across different platforms is a major concern. Technical Barriers: Differences in technology infrastructure and software capabilities can hinder seamless data exchange. Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to local, national, and international regulations can complicate the data-sharing process.
