Ontology-based Archetype Interoperability and Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Semantic interoperability of clinical standards is a major challenge in the eHealth across Europe, because this would allow healthcare professionals to manage the complete EHR of patient. Archetypes are considered a cornerstone to deliver fully interoperable EHRs. Our work is focused on the development of ontology-based methods and techniques for providing semantic interoperability between di erent EHR standards at archetype level. Hence, solutions for the semantic representation, transformation and management of clinical archetypes are described in this work.

Exploitation of ontologies for the management of clinical archetypes in ArchMS
An archetype is a formal model of a domain concept, expressed as a set of constraints based on a reference model and used in a particular domain. In clinical domains, an archetype is defined as a formal model of a clinical concept. Archetypes are considered by many researchers a fundamental tool for the achievement of semantic interoperability of electronic healthcare records. To date, differen...
متن کاملArchetype-Based Semantic Interoperability of Web Service Messages in the Health Care Domain
In this article, we describe an infrastructure enabling archetype-based semantic interoperability of Web Service messages exchanged in the health care domain. We annotate the Web Service messages with the OWL representation of the archetypes. Then, by providing the ontology mapping between the archetypes, we show that the interoperability of the Web Service message instances can be achieved aut...

Clinical decision support systems can be improved if data exchange among different organizations with full and understandable clinical meaning is achieved. Towards this end, the development of new methodologies of information management is necessary. Among them, CEN/ISO EN13606 (archetypes) is the most promising approach. According to World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are the l...
متن کاملExploiting ebXML registry semantic constructs for handling archetype metadata in healthcare informatics
Using archetypes is a promising approach in providing semantic interoperability among healthcare systems. To realize archetype based interoperability, the healthcare systems need to discover the existing archetypes based on their semantics; annotate their archetypes with ontologies; compose templates from archetypes and retrieve corresponding data from the underlying medical information systems...
