Interoperability in Healthcare: A Primer and New Frontiers
Summary: Frames healthcare interoperability as three generations: proprietary point-to-point integration, standards-based connectivity, and an emerging semantic layer. Identifies unresolved cross-organizational meaning alignment and proposes research directions for AI-era interoperability. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
