interoperability is challenging in and of itself
the I do I would say the largest challenge
is in the negotiation of what
the information is really supposed to be ISO messaging is incredibly important to
us
and a reliance on standard international standards
is high the interpretation of the standards
is always up in the air and while the technology
is very capable love a interpreting and rationalizing that
the it's the arm wrestling
up getting to a point where you can agree what the information means that
the start
that's the hardest part after that the technology does exactly what is posted
others really three three and tears I'm interoperability
I think the easiest one enough foundation is the technical one min
that's those software that's
needed to do it agreement on standards is key on that
but the other two layers are the more problematic clinical and business
aspects and that is
semantic interoperability agreeing on what the data content is
standards how it's used how it's interpreted and then the process is so
that the different systems that health care providers whose
such as Mr sir hospital information systems process the information in the
same way
getting together the different professions
and technologists to agree on that
semantic interoperability in business processes to me
be a larger issue but you can have a
a technical air in place but if you don't have the other to the information
is really not that
useful someone we've gone interoperability working
what I think the clinician will see is really nothing it'll fit in with their
work for
so it'll be seamless and they'll be able to use the systems we've set up
to really leverage what they're doing today
only the information will be shared I am
almost instantly as well with other health care providers that they're
working with the notion I love
I've three people having a conversation and they all speak different languages
then you can see there's got to be some interpretation in the middle
and some a effective way the to communicate a
across all parties Rap City itself
it's a great Integration Engine it does everything that we need it to
it can take your hl7 messaging change it to
flat files it can take XML move it into a comma separated value
field whatever a it for us in New Brunswick
it sits in the middle it the it's the buffer that we need
between the standards the interpretation to the standards and the systems that
we're 2.2
