Interoperability.
The main themes of this panel were patient safety and interoperability, the evolution of the traditional longitudinal health record into a patient managed personal health record (PHR) and the personalization of healthcare itself. The interoperability track D of the National Forum posed the following questions: (1) "How do we achieve syntactic interoperability?"; (2) "How do we achieve semantic interoperability?"; (3) "How do we evolve with emerging standards?"; (4) "How do we integrate new medical devices?"; and (5) "How do we achieve National Health Information Network interoperability?"
