As there are more stakeholders, sharing information becomes exponentially more complicated.Sometimes the problem isn’t not enough Information, but too much information (Drinking from a Firehose) – esp. with social mediaWhat’s the solution?
Look at 2 hospitals wanting to share information.1. Maybe they have their own computer systems – but maybe they are different systems (private/public hospitals, hospitals in different regions) – it’s hard to standardise HMIS.2. They need to share information – so maybe they pick up the phone, or send an email3. This may work for 2 hospitals, but what about 10, 100?
Data standards allow computers to talk to each other – across different systems.
