Interoperability

Forensic science needs many improvements to move the practice forward. The National Academy of Sciences forensic committee has expressed recommendations for forensic science in the Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward paper, that will be summarized through this paper (National Research Council, 2009). The goal was to assess the present and future resources needed, recommendations to maximize the use of techniques, support best guidelines and practices, ensure…

Abstract Health-information exchange, that is, enabling the interoperability of automated health data, can facilitate important improvements in healthcare quality and efficiency. A vision of interoperability and its benefits was articulated more than a decade ago. Since then, important advances toward the goal have been made. The advent of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and the meaningful use program is already having a significant impact on the direction…

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible for defining Meaningful Use stages and requirements while the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology(ONC) is responsible for defining and certifying the technology used to meet MU stages. These standards and guidelines are clearly focused on the electronic medical record and the means to ensure the use of certified technology in an effort to ensure healthcare providers meet qualifications incentive…

numerous health systems using the same EMR systems and interoperability, EMRs do not result in a single health record for an individual no matter where they seek treatment. Instead, that individual will have a EMR within each health system they receive services at. EMRs serve…

285-286). This is very important because interoperability, at the investigative level, is usually lost between local and federal agencies, even with the establishment of an Incident Command Center, because there is little exchange of information. Another reason this is important is that “forensic science…

need to use devices which utilise the same protocol (talk the same language). This ability for devices to understand each other is known as interoperability. Chun Liew in his article for IOT Now thus frames this predicament as a war between the big radio protocol players (2015). The desired characteristics required of a radio protocol include good interoperability, security, good area coverage, low power consumption and low cost (refer to annex for comparison of the main…
