Bahía Software to Participate in the 16th SEIS Forum on Interoperability and Health Data Governance 

On May 6 and 7, 2026, Bahía Software participate in the 16th Forum on Interoperability and Health Data Governance, organized by the Spanish Society of Health Informatics (SEIS) in Seville. The event bring together institutional leaders, regional health services, technology companies, and healthcare experts to discuss the present and future of interoperability and data governance within the Spanish National Health System. 

Our participation take place during the forum’s second session, entitled “Organizational Interoperability: The Elephant in the Room”, a discussion focused on one of the major unresolved challenges in healthcare digital transformation projects: aligning processes, organizational models, and technology so that interoperability delivers real clinical value. Antonio Santiso Casal, Project Director at Bahía Software, will represent the company alongside healthcare leaders and experts from different regional health services. 

The forum itself frames this session around a particularly relevant reflection: while the sector has made major advances in standards, infrastructures, security, and technology platforms, there is still a significant gap in organizational interoperability — that is, in the ability to coordinate processes, roles, and operating models across organizations and levels of care.

Interoperability Can No Longer Be Understood Solely as Technical Integration 

At Bahía Software, we fully share this vision. Healthcare interoperability is no longer just about connecting applications through interfaces or message exchanges. The current challenge is to build sustainable corporate capabilities that allow clinical information to be shared coherently, securely, governed, and observably across the organization. 

For years, many healthcare organizations evolved through point-to-point integrations designed to solve specific operational needs. That approach enabled progress, but it also created increasingly complex ecosystems that are difficult to maintain and scale. Today, the context demands a different vision: interoperability must become a transversal strategic capability embedded within the healthcare organization’s operating model itself. 

Governance and Corporate Vision 

Interoperability requires strategic direction, shared criteria, and a clear governance model. It cannot rely solely on isolated initiatives or purely technological decisions. 

This means defining corporate interoperability models, common standards, data governance, organizational responsibilities, quality criteria, security and regulatory compliance, as well as clear technology evolution policies. 

Architecture, Standards, and Shared Platforms

Modern interoperability requires robust, reusable, and scalable architectures. At Bahía Software, we work with corporate models based on widely adopted healthcare standards such as HL7, FHIR, IHE, openEHR, and OMOP. 

Our vision focuses on building enterprise interoperability platforms capable of centralizing services, orchestrating processes, managing APIs, ensuring traceability, and supporting high-availability environments. 

Observability and Continuous Operations 

A mature interoperability platform cannot operate as a “black box.” It must be observable, measurable, and manageable in real time. 

For this reason, we promote advanced capabilities such as end-to-end monitoring, operational traceability, proactive alerting, event analysis, metrics exploitation, anomaly detection, and dashboards designed for both technical and management profiles. 

A Strategic Debate for the Future of the Spanish National Health System

The SEIS Forum on Interoperability and Health Data Governance will address some of the most relevant topics for the evolution of the Spanish National Health System: European interoperability, data governance, care coordination, organizational models, data offices, and new technological capabilities applied to digital transformation. 

At Bahía Software, we thank SEIS for inviting us to participate in this strategic reflection forum, and we look forward to contributing our experience in healthcare interoperability, enterprise integration, and data governance platform projects developed across different healthcare organizations. 

Because the real challenge today is no longer simply connecting systems. The challenge is to build healthcare organizations capable of sharing information coherently, securely, and effectively for both professionals and patients.
