Q

what are 2 goals of the australian digital health strategy

A

interoperability & data quality

17
Q

what is interoperability

A

the ability of IS to communicate, exchange and utilise exchanged data while still preserving the meaning and context of data

18
Q

what is semantic interoperability

A

preserving the original meaning of the data sources

19
Q

what is the purpose of a data standard

A

ensuring every system can communicate

20
Q

what is the relationship between data standards and DQ

A
  • seamless exchange
  • confidence in meaning & context
  • less mistakes
  • better quality patient care
  • patient safety
21
Q

what are the different types of data standards development processes

A
  • adhoc: no formal adoption process
  • defacto: vendor or other has large mkt segment
  • government mandated: legislative
  • consensus: volunteers from different orgs to come together to reach a formal agreement
22
Q

what are some data interchange standards

A
  • HL7
  • DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine)
    from ISO (International organisation for standardisation)
  • ANSI (american national standards institute)
23
Q

what is the purpose of HL7

A
  • system integration & interoperability
