Establish a Technical Working Group/Committee (TWG/C) on national health data standards to develop standards and create an ecosystem for adopting and promoting standards.

• Identify and engage with national, regional, and global stakeholders
• Ensure that standards and interoperability are included and referred to appropriately in the digital health blueprint

Adopt proven standardized health data, minimum health data set, data dictionary, and the required middleware.

• The TWG/C on national health data standards should develop the minimum data standards, coordinate the development of required middleware, and ensure the standards are scalable and flexible
• The TWG/C should engage with the private sector and all the other stakeholders for buy-in and use of standardized health data and middleware
• Implement training programs and education opportunities to healthcare providers and staff on the adopted interoperability standards
• Ensure that the adopted standards have a clear version control and are consistent across the different systems and healthcare organizations
• Modularize standard integration for easy tracking of versions, fixes, new additions, and improvements
• Mandate legacy data

Create an interoperability fund to establish a sandbox and capacity building to promote standards.

• Incentivize the use and adoption of standards
• Motivate private sector and academic participation
• Establish regional and global collaborations and partnerships
• Develop national standards; if needed,  adopt the 80% international and 20% local standards model
• Establish evaluation and certification schemes for standard compliance
