Interoperability of heterogeneous health information systems: a systematic literature review

“…Semantic interoperability is distinguished from the other levels of interoperability because it assures that the receiving system understands the meaning of the sent information, even if the receiving system's algorithms are unknown to the sending system. That is why it is used more than other levels [25,26].…”

Using Electronic Data Capture for Cardiovascular Electrophysiology Invasive Procedures: An Important Step Towards Interoperable Clinical Registries

“…Health information interoperability is defined the ability to capture, review, share, and reuse electronic health data seamlessly across health system, thus capture of data is important step to design interoperability framework between healthcare systems [29][30][31]. The preliminary effort to create these three electronic data capture forms is part of a larger program to address the lack of data interoperability between the clinical information systems and clinical registries in field of cardiac EP invasive procedures [32,33].…”

Semantic Interoperability for Development of Future Health Care: A Systematic Review of Different Technologies

“…In reality, health needs some information transfers from institutions, systems, machines, and people. This is because data channelization is required to understand the various levels of interoperability and their significance to identify the limitations of the standards [13].…”
