Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop an indigenous pattern of interoperability in health care system based on the proposed benchmarking interoperability models in developed countries and develop concepts and consider indicators and criteria in accordance with the current guidelines of Iran`s laws and regulations. In this regard, the researcher has attempted to explain the detailed pattern of e-government interoperability at the national level and use inductive pattern. Hence, the components used in the extraction and then based on the proposed framework for interoperability of e-government, interoperability in the field of health care was provided. We used random, stratified sampling. Our samples include community groups, managers, and experts in the field of health, information technology, and management. We used the Delphi method to validate the components and dimensions of the model. Finally, the proposed framework was validated using experts' survey. Based on the findings, three integrated, unified, and independent approaches were identified to the realization of interactivity in the health system. By performing discrete simulations and considering indicators such as cost, time, and performance units, an integrated approach was selected as the optimal approach.
