Select the word that best completes the sentence: 'The physician's _____ note documented every aspect of the patient's condition in precise detail.'

Read: 'Interoperability allows different healthcare systems to exchange and use patient data seamlessly.' What does 'interoperability' mean in this context?

The passage directly defines interoperability as systems exchanging and using data seamlessly — the ability of different systems to work together.
Which of the following is an inference, not a fact stated in this passage: 'The clinic saw 200 patients this month, up from 150 last month.'
