Interoperability
The ability of different health-IT systems to exchange data and use it without special effort from the user.
Key facts
- Systems exchange and use data without special effort.
- Built on HL7, FHIR and vocabularies like LOINC and SNOMED.
- Connects HRIS, labs, devices, registries and EHRs.
What it means
Interoperability lets a record send, receive and meaningfully use data across organizational and vendor boundaries — over HL7, FHIR and standard vocabularies like LOINC and SNOMED. For workforce health it is what connects HRIS, labs, devices, immunization registries and clinical EHRs into one system of record instead of dozens of disconnected feeds.
