ABSTRACT
Interoperability is achieved in part by the use of consistent standards that define the syntactic and semantic meaning of information. Generally the goal of a Health Information System (HIS) is to contribute to better efficiency and quality of provision of health care by providing reliable and relevant information on treatment of patients, for management of the health care sector at all levels and efficient allocation of financial and human resources. A HIS is mostly designed for Electronic Health Records (EHR) and information resource formation. EHR include Basic Patient Information; patient administration Application Programming Interfaces of an EHR management system should support the standard protocol for information exchange between laboratory, radiological, telemetry, pharmaceutical and health care insurance systems for semantic interoperability of healthcare domains. A choice of available options may be selected for financial reasons to harness advantages of open licenses that can be negotiated with major vendors for the health care sector.
