In fact, over the lifetime of an interface, the aggregate resources necessary to maintain it approach or even exceed those needed to develop it. Five characteristics essential for the adequate management of interfaces are described in detail, including the ability to monitor and control them, to backup and recover data, and to assure the quality of a data exchange between systems. Like any automated system components, interfaces experience problems, which can have a variety of causes. Interface problems can be investigated and solved in a systematic fashion much as a clinician would diagnose and treat a patient's illness. A number of trouble-shooting techniques especially useful in dealing with interface issues are described.
Effective interfaces facilitate enterprise administrative and clinical functions.
