			By the 2000s, advances in component-based technologies, communication systems, distributed systems, and network-centric architectures brought the opportunity for homogeneity and data sharing to a new level. Improved communication standards like [[Health Level 7]] and XML packaging structures like Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) also contributed, bringing a new "era of real medically oriented information systems that encourage integration of all existing satellite systems (external and internal) into one coherent, interoperable environment around [[electronic health record]]s (EHR)."<ref name="CISComp" />
