Select a clinical or administrative area or function in a health care setting, such as radiology, pharmacy, laboratory, ICU, admissions, or patient billing. Preferably, this will be an area in which you intend to work in the near future. Through online research, find out more about the IT standards that would be most relevant to this department or function. Identify interoperability issues that commonly arise and solutions that have been found or are being proposed. Then answer the following:
1. Describe one significant impediment to achieving system interoperability within and between health care organizations.
2. What is the most relevant standard in your selected clinical or administrative area or function, and what are important interoperability issues that arise here? Provide a specific example that illustrates this problem in practice.
3. How are these interoperability issues best addressed? What could you, as a manager in this area, do to assist in resolving the problem?
