Abstract
Healthcare Interoperability is essential to the effectiveness of healthcare delivery in the
world. Over the years, hospitals have tried to digitize their services to make the delivery
better. However, interoperability remains limited especially in African countries. Most
hospitals have still not been able to properly make their systems interoperable to enable
different departments as well as other health facilities access common health data even with
the usage of different information systems.
This project seeks to investigate the technologies that can be used to implement healthcare
interoperability in Ghanaian hospitals, and to assess the impact that would be created if these
systems are being implemented.
Out of this research done, restful APIs were being used to allow users to access healthcare
data without having real access or total control of the actual database.
