Interoperability • Interoperability - Definition • “There are two parts to the definition of interoperability: • 1) The ability of two or more systems to exchange information • 2) The ability of those systems to use the information that has been exchanged. • This means that health information exchange is different than health information interoperability. Exchange is a necessary for interoperability, but it is not sufficient by itself to achieve health information interoperability.” (Fridsma, D. 2013)
