This paper investigates the transformative potential of integrating technical and methodological tools such as GraphQL, openEHR, Redis, and Pervasive Business Intelligence in healthcare. Modern healthcare systems face data silos, interoperability, and efficient data communication challenges. The integration of these technologies offers innovative solutions to address these challenges. GraphQL, known for its flexible data retrieval capabilities, simplifies data communication and integration. openEHR, a standards-based approach to healthcare data management, fosters interoperability through a unified data model. Redis, a scalable data storage and caching system, enhances application performance and real-time data processing. Pervasive Business Intelligence empowers healthcare analytics, aiding data-driven decision-making by enabling an integrated Electronic Health Record. This paper explores these technologies’ benefits, integration possibilities, and synergies. The practical implications of this integration are demonstrated through a real-world case study. The findings underscore the potential to revolutionize healthcare data management, communication, and analysis, improving patient care and operational efficiency.
