  1. Data Quality

  2. Interoperability

  3. Data Management

  4. Data Governance

The correct answer is: Interoperability

Interoperability is the correct answer to this question. Interoperability refers to the ability of various systems and devices to exchange and interpret data. It allows different healthcare information systems to work together effectively and efficiently. Option A, Data Quality, focuses on the accuracy and reliability of data rather than the exchange and interpretation of data. Option C, Data Management, involves the processes and tools used to manage data within an organization rather than the exchange of data between systems. Option D, Data Governance, pertains to the overall management of the availability, usability, integrity, and security of data rather than the interoperability of systems.
