The modern healthcare landscape is enormously fragmented, with a vast selection of vendors to choose from. As a result, healthcare environments are often composed of a patchwork of systems, making interoperability less of a luxury and more of a necessity.

Therefore, developing a system infrastructure that is conducive to data sharing and collaboration is becoming a priority for many organizations. While vendors are trying to meet the growing demand for data neutrality among their customers, proprietary tags and data structures remain prevalent. Although vendors may not be able to immediately standardize their approaches to facilitate interoperability, integration platforms provide the data translations necessary to build those bridges between these disparate systems.

By implementing an integration engine such as Iguana, vendors will be able to easily connect to these various systems and support rapid data translation and exchange between their clients and their healthcare platform.
