AsthmaCheck: Multi-Level Modeling Based Health Information System

摘要

Every hospital uses their own format for creating their information system for storing patient's data. This doesn't allow hospitals to exchange patient data. Hence, there is requirement for standardized Hospital Information System (HIS). Also the HIS should be able to incorporate semantic interoperability. With technological advancement, clinicians and patients should get themselves involved in using the Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The current research provides roadmap for the introduction of domain specific clinical application following openEHR standards based on Multi-Level Modeling. Standardization will help in reducing cost and medical errors as well enhancing data quality. The current study focuses on (1) advantage of EHRs, (2) the need for standardization to improve quality of health records, thereby establishing interoperability among hospitals, (3) recognizing the use of archetypes for knowledge-based systems, (4) proposing framework for standardization, and (5) comparison of proposed approach with current HIS.
