Abstract
Data sharing between public hospitals and private clinics in Egyptian healthcare systems is crucial for improving patient outcomes and resource efficiency. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews was employed to assess the implementation and effectiveness of data-sharing protocols between participants. Public hospitals reported a 20% increase in patient referrals from private clinics after implementing secure data sharing mechanisms, while maintaining confidentiality standards. The findings suggest that robust security measures are essential for fostering effective data exchange between public hospitals and private clinics. Healthcare providers should prioritise the development of standardised protocols to ensure seamless integration and compliance with regulatory requirements.
