Abstract

Electronic health records (EHR) interoperability is a complex topic that
continues to gain traction in the digital health landscape. We facilitated a qualitative
workshop consisting of domain experts in EHR implementation and health IT
managers. The workshop aimed to identify critical barriers to achieving
interoperability, priorities for new EHR implementations and lessons learned from
managing existing implementations. The workshop highlighted that data modelling
and interoperability standards are vital priorities for maternal and child health data
services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
