Health care interoperability is the ability of systems to exchange and use health information, and it requires standards and the associated architecture to support them. Health information exchange helps facilitate coordinated patient care, reduce costs and improve care quality by providing more complete medical information when needed. Through real-world examples, cases and hands-on activities, you get an overview of interoperability, health information exchange and common standards used in healthcare today.
