These challenges require strong collaboration with IT teams, clinical staff, and compliance officers to ensure smooth data exchange and minimal disruption to clinical workflows. Developers must stay updated on healthcare standards (e.g., HL7, FHIR) and be proactive in troubleshooting integration issues to deliver secure and user-friendly solutions.
