SSA countries have a chance to take full advantage of the ICT revolution and leap ahead in the design of efficient and interoperable data collection, integration and dissemination technologies in e-Health and m-Health (61).
Personal health records and patient portals represent platforms that will allow for integration of interoperable information across systems and time.
--As standards evolve for expressing canonical propositions as RDF triples, then evidence racks could support machine-readable triples alongside natural-language propositions for human readers, and become interoperable with other knowledge-integration projects.
The multiple visualizations were integrated, interoperable, and inspiring.
Because the modules are inherently interoperable, they naturally facilitate horizontal integration.
IEC 61850 standard has been accepted as one of the prime movers of successful and interoperable Smart Grid communication and integration.
We illustrate the environment on a health related use case that derives Age Standardised Rate – a dynamic index that needs integration of the existing interoperable web services of demographic data in conjunction with standalone non-spatial secure database servers used in health research.
If interoperable, there tends only to be integration with other local systems (cf. across care units) or the major systems– often an expensive undertaking and therefore driven by management concerns, rather than focusing on more flexible care pathways.
Appropriate oversight can facilitate the integration process by promoting interoperable standards, assisting in the development of quality control metrics for information used in CDS tools, and assessing the impact of the tools on outcomes and performance measures.
With this intent, in this paper we present an interoperable healthcare information system that considers data integration and interoperability of patients׳ information available with various healthcare service providers in a heterogeneous environment.
