Ans) Interoperability is the technology anecdote for the lack of communication among disparate systems. This field encompasses multiple tiers of communication that healthcare managers need to understand.
- The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) has developed a definition of interoperability, which the organization describes as “the ability of different information technology systems and software applications to communicate, exchange data, and use the information that has been exchanged.”
- HIMSS asserts that data exchange schema and standards should allow for the sharing of data among healthcare community participants irrespective of which applications or vendors they use. Interoperability, according to HIMSS, enables HIT systems to transcend organizational boundaries and promote effective healthcare delivery.
• Syntactic interoperability:
- Intermediate level that defines the structure or format of data exchange where there is uniform movement of data from one system to another such that the clinical or operational purpose and meaning of the data is preserved and unaltered.
- Defines the syntax of the data exchange (i.e. an integer from system A should be interpreted as an integer in system B)
- Semantic interoperability:
Takes advantage if both the structuring of the data exchange and the codification of the data including vocabulary so that the receiving information technology can interpret the data
supports electronic exchange of patient summary information among healthcare providers and other authorized parties via potentially disparate EHR systems
- Standard: something used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations.
Classifications: classification system where entries are arranged based on some hierarchical structure. file system, filing system. a system of classifying into files (usually arranged alphabetically) grouping, pigeonholing. a system for classifying things into groups.
Terminology: the body of terms used with a particular technical application in a subject of study, profession, etc.
Evaluate the interoperability of disparate information systems. Differentiate between semantic and syntactic interoperability as they relate...

Beware of the data silo (chapter 13) A regional healthcare system has three hospitals and seven clinics that are dispersed throughout the region. The three hospitals use one EHR system, while the clinics use a best-of-breed system that supports the needs of the clinics. Because continuity of care is important between the hospitals and clinics, the healthcare system wanted to create a virtual patient record view that would contain all data for a patient from both systems. However, differences in...
Because performance improvement activities are information intensive, organizations must provide the proper resources and systems to support improvements. It’s important to recognize that PI programs need to meet accreditation standards such as The Joint Commission and Medicare and Medicaid Conditions of Participation, which require access to national comparative data collections. This assignment, based on a textbook case study, will help students to understand Joint Commission information management standards by analyzing how a scenario relates those standards. Instructions Your assignment will...

Title: Partners Health Care Systems (PHS): Transforming Health Care Services Delivery through Information Management According to government sources, U.S. expenditures on health care in 2009 reached nearly $2.4 trillion dollars ($2.7 trillion by the end of 2010).[1] Despite this vaunting national level of expenditure on medical treatment, death rates due to preventable errors in the delivery of health services rose to approximately 98,000 deaths in 2009.[2] To address the dual challenges of cost control and quality improvement, some have argued...
