Overview

Interoperability is the ability of different information systems and devices to exchange, interpret, and share data. In order to be interoperable, two or more systems or components must have the ability to exchange data and then present it to a user in a way that they can understand it. With effective interoperability, clinicians can quickly and easily access and interpret information so they may provide the best care possible. This continuing education module provides nurses with an overview of interoperability in the context of health information technology with a focus on how interoperability affects healthcare delivery.
