13. HIE Standards: Why
• The number of interfaces between N systems is given by the formula (N2-N)/2.
• Linking 2 systems only needs 1 interface, (22 – 2) / 2 = 1;
• Linking 6 systems needs as many as 15 interfaces, (62 – 6) / 2 = 15
• The benefits of using standard increase rapidly with the number of systems involved.
