Semantic interoperability (human)
Semantic interoperability (human) guarantees that the meaning of a structure is unambiguously exchanged between humans. Documents such as progress notes, referrals, consults, and so on, rely on the specificity of medical vocabularies and common community practice to guarantee semantic interoperability at a clinician-to-clinician level. The ability of a human being to read a clinical discharge summary formatted in multiple ways in multiple contexts and still extract the “true meaning” irrespective of its presentation is an example of human semantic interoperability.
