Interoperability plays an essential role in providing nursing care because it can enhance communication not only between nurses in different healthcare organizations but also among all stakeholders in the healthcare system (Samal, et al., 2016). This is because it facilitates the transfer of information, information which contains important patient data. In this case, even when a patient moves from one hospital to another, nurses will still have access to their information, thus saving them time, which they use to attend to patients. In addition, it would be easier to facilitate patient transfer when there is EHR interoperability. It also allows nurses to monitor patients and conduct follow-ups with ease (Samal, et al., 2016). This is because, with interoperability, it is possible to receive notification about a certain patient, especially when their records are accessed by another institution. Further, as revealed by Sewell and Thede (2013) interoperability increases the reliability of patient health records. This enhances decision-making efficiency and ability to coordinate care between healthcare organizations. This could help reduce medical errors (Iroju &am...
