Abstract: Distributed medical systems play a crucial role in modern healthcare by enabling seamless access to patient data across various healthcare facilities. However, interoperability challenges often hinder the efficient exchange of medical information between disparate systems. Health Level Seven (HL7) standards have emerged as a cornerstone for facilitating data exchange in healthcare settings. This paper explores the significance of HL7 standards in improving interoperability within distributed medical systems. It discusses the key components of HL7 standards, their role in enhancing data exchange, and their impact on improving patient care. Furthermore, the paper addresses challenges associated with implementing HL7 standards in different countries like Australia, USA and Macedonia. Also, we discuss integration involvement of health insurance, and propose strategies for the best model.
