“…Also, eHealth IOp has to be seen in a wider context, taking into account also considerations, e.g., from the eGovernment field [10]. It turned out that the term interoperability is often a fuzzy one -mostly referring to data exchange among technical systems or "application entities," and less to the exchange of information among persons or organisations (respecting business and workflow processes, procedures, and the cultural context of organisations).…”

Abstract. The generic concept of interoperability is briefly reviewed, before describing the approach taken in defining eHealth interoperability, based on a reflection of the diverse needs for exchanging patient, other healthcare and health system data with the aim to improve the overall quality and efficiency of healthcare provision. Next, the method applied for collecting global good practice evidence from national or district eHealth platforms is outlined. The information collected led us to revisit the concept of eHealth interoperability levels; a modified concept is presented identifying four distinct domains, and the identification of three levels for the data and access domain. The results are discussed under the perspective of 'Who needs why how much interoperability?' -including the impact of healthcare provider incentives, size of patient population, and the benefits from interoperability on the concrete instantiation of an interoperability platform. Finally, conclusions are drawn on the role of eHealth interoperability for better healthcare.

An effective one-stop e-government portal needs egovernment system with good integration and interoperability. However, most e-government portals lack in integration and interoperability. This problem causes each government agency tend to have its own portal. Hence, it prevents the government to provide services in a single access point. Therefore, e-government system needs a better architecture for integration and interoperability among e-government system components, applications, and services. The architecture should provide a seamless approach for integration and interoperability of egovernment applications and services using a hybrid and distributed e-government architecture. This work presents egovernment system architecture and the proof-of-concept prototype of the proposed architecture as a case study in the Malaysian One-Stop E-government (MyOneEG) system.

“…It is the capacity of different people, organizations and systems to cooperate by exchanging data, information and processes. Interoperability may be presented in different dimensions, among them: technical, which connects different systems to exchange data; semantic, which handles the data exchanged and their meaning; and organizational, which captures the scope of inter-and intra-organizational process alignment that is necessary to meet this interoperability goal [12] [24].…”

Governments use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to provide citizens, organizations and governments with online services and tools. One of the key factors in this context is system interoperability, since it promotes the exchange of information among systems in different levels. Achieving high levels of interoperability, however, is challenging because it involves different concepts, business processes, standards, languages, ontologies and laws. The Brazilian government has defined the e-PING Interoperability Standards to specify the guidelines for achieving interoperability in different levels, but many public organizations cannot completely implement the interoperability aspects in their solutions. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present an investigation we conducted with the ICT departments of the Brazilian federal universities to understand whether and how they use the e-PING interoperability standards, and what are the main challenges. Results show that most universities do not fully implement interoperability requirements mainly because of a shortage of ICT staff, lack of knowledge and lack of clear instructions on how to achieve interoperability using the e-PING standards. Such findings allow us to identify several improvements on the Brazilian egovernment strategy.
