Abstract: The healthcare industry faces a unique challenge: managing the exponential growth of data while ensuring security, compliance, and accessibility. The adoption of hybrid cloud infrastructure has emerged as a key solution for achieving data interoperability—a cornerstone of modern healthcare systems. Interoperability in healthcare enables diverse systems, devices, and applications to seamlessly share and utilize information, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to up-to-date data for improved patient care. This capability spans foundational, structural, semantic, and organizational levels, addressing the technical and legal frameworks needed for secure and efficient data exchange. Hybrid cloud solutions combine the scalability of public cloud services with the control of on-premises infrastructure, enhancing interoperability, addressing data silos, and enabling secure collaboration. This paper analyzes the pivotal role of hybrid cloud technology in transforming telemedicine, AI-based diagnostics, and broader health information systems, leading to breakthroughs in patient outcomes, cost efficiency, and scalability. The review also explores strategies for overcoming interoperability challenges, practical considerations for implementation, and the transformative potential of hybrid cloud in delivering a globally connected, patient-centric healthcare ecosystem.
