Ethical obligations exist in almost all the areas in the healthcare industry and play a key

role in achieving interoperability. Policy and decision making areas such Premium pricing,

benefits received from a healthcare coverage and interoperability all involve ethical obligations.

Dealings between all the stakeholders (Payers, Providers and Patients) has more benefits when

carrying out an ethical obligation as well as effect that leads to ethical dilemmas. Internal ethical

obligation may involve hiring of the qualified and trustworthy staff who can be able to protect

patient sensitive data (Jamshed, Ozair, Sharma, & Aggarwal, 2015). Another internal ethical

obligation is maintaining a healthy and safe work environment and the use of the technological

resources wisely to avoid wastage and improve the quality of healthcare. Ethical obligation also

helps avoid situations that create conflict of interest among the 3P’s in the industry. Interoperability

is all about trust and safety in exchange of not only fully disclosed medical information in

confidentiality but also providing the necessary security to the information as they are being

transferred (Jamshed, Ozair, Sharma, & Aggarwal, 2015).

Interoperability requires all the stakeholders to be ethically responsible. For the 3P’s to

receive the right information it requires people to send the correct information through the system,

every player is ethically obligated to be truthful and disclose information fully as required. We are

ethically obligated to develop and implement information technology systems and clinical devices

(Michael M. E. Johns, 2016). With this, quality and safety of healthcare are greatly improved

because adverse events, errors and unnecessary testing are reduced or avoided. Physicians and

clinicians will reduce time spent on entering information and patients will have a reduced length

of time they spend in the hospital since it is improved and better informational transfer at lower

costs due to integration and maintenance of technologies. The more ethically obligated the industry

is, the less the conflicts, unknown and known errors are depicted in interoperability.

In conclusion, ethical obligations are important in achieving interoperability and is applied

in ways that are directly associated with interoperability and sometimes indirectly. The payers,

patients and providers all have to corporate with the policies in ethical obligation in order to bring

out the best in the resources we have and maximize the use of the fast changing technology to

consistently improve the healthcare industry. Proper information should be passed to the industry

players regarding their ethical obligations so as to improve the exchange of data. An ethically

responsible healthcare industry leads to better interoperability.
