Factors Influencing the Strategic Governance of EHR Interoperability: A Rapid Literature Review.

While the importance of Electronic Health Records (EHR) interoperability is widely recognised in the healthcare digitalisation context, its optimal governance structure remains controversial, requiring further research. Through the rapid literature review of 32 articles retrieved from PubMed and EBSCO, 47 distinct factors under ten categories were established. The three most cited factors in the reviewed 32 articles were "Robust inter-institutional connections, trust, and the technologies to ensure security", "Legal adaptations to the evolving digitalisation needs", and "Standardisation of terminologies and codes, and harmonised data structure".
