Across the world, health data generation is growing exponentially. The continuous rise of new and diversified technology to obtain and handle health data places health information management and governance under pressure. Lack of data linkage and interoperability between systems undermines best efforts to optimise integrated health information technology solutions. : This research aimed to provide a bibliometric overview of the role of interoperability and linkage in health data management and governance. : Data were acquired by entering selected search queries into Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science databases and bibliometric data obtained were then imported to Endnote and checked for duplicates. The refined data were exported to Excel, where several levels of filtration were applied to obtain the final sample. These sample data were analysed using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Washington, USA), WORDSTAT (Provalis Research, Montreal, Canada) and VOSviewer software (Leiden University, Leiden, Netherlands). : The literature sample was retrieved from 3799 unique results and consisted of 63 articles, present in 45 different publications, both evaluated by two specific in-house global impact rankings. Through VOSviewer, three main clusters were identified: (i) e-health information stakeholder needs; (ii) e-health information quality assessment; and (iii) e-health information technological governance trends. A residual correlation between interoperability and linkage studies in the sample was also found. : Assessing stakeholders' needs is crucial for establishing an efficient and effective health information system. Further and diversified research is needed to assess the integrated placement of interoperability and linkage in health information management and governance. : This research has provided valuable managerial and theoretical contributions to optimise system interoperability and data linkage within health information research and information technology solutions.
在全球范围内，健康数据的生成呈指数级增长。获取和处理健康数据的新技术和多样化技术的持续涌现给健康信息管理和治理带来了压力。系统之间缺乏数据链接和互操作性破坏了优化综合健康信息技术解决方案的最大努力。本研究旨在提供一份关于互操作性和链接在健康数据管理与治理中的作用的文献计量综述。通过在谷歌学术、PubMed和科学网数据库中输入选定的搜索查询来获取数据，然后将获得的文献计量数据导入Endnote并检查是否有重复项。将精炼后的数据导出到Excel，在其中应用了多个层次的筛选以获得最终样本。使用微软Excel（美国华盛顿微软公司）、WORDSTAT（加拿大蒙特利尔Provalis Research公司）和VOSviewer软件（荷兰莱顿莱顿大学）对这些样本数据进行分析。文献样本从3799个独特结果中检索而来，由63篇文章组成，发表在45种不同的出版物中，均由两个特定的内部全球影响力排名进行评估。通过VOSviewer，确定了三个主要聚类：（i）电子健康信息利益相关者需求；（ii）电子健康信息质量评估；（iii）电子健康信息技术治理趋势。还发现了样本中互操作性和链接研究之间的残余相关性。评估利益相关者的需求对于建立高效且有效的健康信息系统至关重要。需要进一步开展多样化研究，以评估互操作性和链接在健康信息管理与治理中的综合地位。本研究为优化健康信息研究和信息技术解决方案中的系统互操作性和数据链接提供了有价值的管理和理论贡献。
