Which interoperability type is primarily focused on the transmission and reception of data?

Functional
Semantic
Technical
Pragmatic

The correct answer is: Technical

Interoperability in healthcare refers to the ability of different information technology systems and software applications to communicate, exchange data, and use the information that has been exchanged. The interoperability type primarily focused on the transmission and reception of data is called technical interoperability. Technical interoperability deals with the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together, exchange data accurately, effectively, and consistently, and use the information that has been exchanged. This type of interoperability ensures that data can be successfully transmitted and received between systems without loss or corruption. In contrast, functional interoperability focuses on the ability of one system to perform a specific function using data that was generated by another system or application. Semantic interoperability centers on the ability of different systems to exchange and interpret the meaning of shared data accurately. Pragmatic interoperability relates to the ability of systems to understand the context in which data is used.
