Evaluation of Possibilities in Demographic Data Exchange Support in Czech Healthcare

摘要

This paper summarizes the evaluation of two standardized approaches to implementation of messages for demographic data exchange between the preventive cardiology outpatient department located at the Institute of Computer Science AS CR, v.v.i. in Prague and the Outpatients Department of Cardiology of Municipal Hospital in Caslav. Our setting consists of four independent systems maintaining different clinical data (scheduling system, hospital information system, EHR system and a digital BCG). The aim is to avoid repetitive patient demographic data entry. We evaluate the suitability of 1HE Patient Administration Management Profile (including HL7 v.2.5) and Czech national standard DASTA using Standard Evaluation Framework proposed and published in 2008 by J. Mykkanen et al. Besides the evaluation of standards, we also discuss some aspects of the framework.
