Establishing Semantic Interoperability between HL7 v2.x and V3: A Communication Standards Ontology (CSO)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Different communication standards in healthcare esp. HL7 version 2.x [1] and v3 [2] lack interand intra-family compatibility. Bridging between those to establish semantic interoperability using a formal ontology as a mediator in a mapping process [3] has demonstrated that both communication standards have in principle the same underlying architecture. This paper shortly analyses this structure in order to create a communication standards ontology (CSO) based on (basic) formal ontologies (BFO/FO) which is presented thereafter. The paper discusses problems which appeared during the development process and the established solution.

Introduction: The recent advances in information and communication technology have increased the possibility to store and circulate information. EHR (Electronic health record) system, as an IT (Information Technology) in the healthcare field, can improve access to patient data. International research studies show that the benefits of e-health are significantly greater where EHR information can ...

Health Level 7 (HL7) is an international standards development organisation in the domain of healthcare information technology. Initially the mission of HL7 was to enable data exchange via the creation of syntactic standards for point-to-point messaging. For some 10 years, however, HL7 has increasingly conceived its mission as one of creating standards for semantic interoperability in healthcar...

Healthcare applications are complex in the way data and schemas are organised in their internal systems. Widely deployed healthcare standards like Health Level Seven (HL7) V2 are designed using flexible schemas which allow several choices when constructing clinical messages. The recently emerged HL7 V3 has a centrally consistent information model that controls terminologies and concepts shared ...

متن کاملSemantic Interoperability between Health Communication Standards through Formal Ontologies
The paper shortly analyses the HL7 communication standards for resolving the gap between them by developing a set of ontologies reflecting the concepts and relationships which is exemplified with the incompatible HL7 versions 2.x and 3. Bridging between the different ontologies is performed by introducing a reference ontology to which a mapping is defined. The paper discusses problems and solut...
