The document discusses Catalonia's system for approving healthcare systems, devices, and services for interoperability. It aims to improve quality of care, make information management more competitive, and efficiently exchange information by integrating devices and systems. This requires setting standards for interoperability and an approval process. The Office of Standards and Interoperability manages the certification process to validate that systems meet requirements and reduce costs and risks while boosting confidence in solutions.
