In Table II, the standard deviation is proportional to the average and the %RSD is unchanged. Good documentation requires reporting the sample size, average, and standard deviation with the %RSD. The %RSD is misleading when used with data that are expressed as a percentage such as percent recovery. The standard deviation of the data is already in percent. To then find the %RSD is to make the results dependent on the random variation of the average. This defeats the original purpose of estimating the variation of the data values.
Interoperability (pronounced IHN-tuhr-AHP-uhr-uh-BIHL-ih-tee) is the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort on the part of the customer.
Interoperability means the ability of health information systems to work together within and across organizational boundaries in order to advance the effective delivery of healthcare for individuals and communities.ML or SQL standards are among the tools of syntactic interoperability. This is also true for lower-level data formats, such as ensuring alphabetical characters are stored in a same variation of ASCII or a Unicode format (for English or international text) in all the communicating systems.
