2. Proposed Working Definition of Interoperability in Minnesota 1. Background
Variety of definitions for electronic health record (EHR) interoperability used nationally
Proposed Minnesota definition draws from this work
Minnesota definition adapted in part from:
HL7 white paper “Coming to Terms: Scoping Interoperability for Health Care” (HL7–2007)
