SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXCHANGING PATIENT DATA WITH DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR EXECUTABLE GUIDELINE

摘要

A system and method are provided for exchanging data between a local information storage system (26) storing first data elements associated with respective data, and an executable guideline decision support system (12) executable on at least one processor for storing a plurality of executable guidelines and executing the guidelines, including processing at least data associated with a second data element. The method includes the steps of generating a request to exchange data between the local information system and the decision support system (12); determining a first data element of the plurality of first data elements that corresponds to the second data element, and at least one interoperability parameter defining how the first and second data elements correspond; processing the data being exchanged in accordance with the determined at least one interoperability parameter; and transmitting the data being exchanged between the first and second data elements.
