Interoperability Paper
Interoperability is the new direction for information systems of all kinds. In Human Services, interoperability and how efficient it is will define the quality and depth of services. Interoperability enhances the significance for information technology to make the networks and integrations work. The term is most widely used in product enhancement and networking. Compatibility is a significant term when defining interoperability. In human services most providers define interoperability as the ability to communicate with other systems and services seamlessly with better results in service delivery to clients.

Other than having a solid information-sharing infrastructure, at this time this model doesn’t appear to be as much as an advantage as the Network Model.

Delancey Street supports the economic and social well-being of its targeted group and their children, families, communities, and peers through offering many state of the art proven programs. Delancey Streets human services provide an extensive range of groups, and counseling consisting of individuals and families. With there being many benefits of interoperability, it is wise for organizations to move towards this trend. Interoperability is significant in linking health and human services residents may need. It enhances the client’s experience by caring for the whole person with enhanced and advanced care coordination, enhanced timely contact to getting critical information for decision making, preventing illnesses, reducing exacerbating conditions, decrease hospital reentries and helping residents to build their self-esteem and self-sufficiency ("The Delancey Street Foundation", 2007). Interoperability helps in providing the Delancey Street foundation with timely and accurate information to provide a more compatible enrollment process. The system will also enhance the access of information. The system helps circulate a wide range of data from every human service organization to link the clients to many important services. The speed, accuracy, and cost reduction through interoperability programs will also enhance the capability of systems to reduce fraud, waste and
