The term interoperability is used when discussing the large scale electronic exchange of health care information across enterprises for the purpose of accessing and maintaining longitudinal health records
The term interoperability is understood to mean which of the following? Select all that apply. 1. Has the ability to exchange the structure of the data, but not the meaning of data
2. Has the ability to exchange the structure of data and meaning of data
3. Has the ability to exchange the meaning of data, but not the structure of data
4. Is the ability of two entities, whether human or machine, to exchange and use data
5. It is accurate to use the term interoperability interchangeably with the term interface
2,4
Rationale: The structure and meaning of the data can both be exchanged. Interoperability is the ability of two entities, whether human or machine, to exchange and predictably use data or information while retaining the original meaning of that data. It is inaccurate to use the terms interface and interoperability interchangeably. The interface engine routes information from one system to another but stops short of enabling the second system to understand and use that information. Most discussions that involve the large scale electronic exchange of health care information across enterprises for the purpose of accessing and maintaining longitudinal health records speak of interoperability.
