Interoperability is the ability of different systems, devices, or software applications to exchange data and work together seamlessly, often relying on shared standards and protocols like APIs, common file formats, or messaging standards. It's a key concern in fields like healthcare IT, where systems need to share patient records (e.g., via HL7/FHIR standards), and in enterprise software integration more broadly. Engineers and system architects prioritize interoperability to avoid data silos and ensure smooth communication across platforms from different vendors.
