Semantic Interoperability and Health Records

This document discusses semantic interoperability and electronic health records. It aims to interconnect a health care facility using a semantic electronic health record based on reliable information sources. It proposes developing a rule validation system accessed via a web portal to alert users when situations meet stored rules. The methodology involves constant review of the state of the art, prototyping an idealized solution, experimentation and implementation, analysis of results, and knowledge sharing. Semantic web approaches can increase information quality and decision support by enabling interoperability and ubiquitous computation. A semantic electronic health record and rules database could enhance studies and decision support systems by constructing rules from past abnormal situations.

Abstract
Information emerges from an assortment of sources, from informatics applications, medical equipment and physicians knowledge introduced in the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The uprising technology for gathering information and present it in a readable is called Interoperability and one way to achieve it is to implement a Semantic Web approach and its rules in terms of the EHR.

Aims
- Interoperate an health care facility; - Electronic Semantic Health Record based on reliable information sources along the health care facility; - Rule validation system by trusted users accessed via a web portal.; - Alert toolbar each time a situation meets with a stored.

Methodology
HIS databases Constant and incremental update and review of the state of the art; Idealization and gradual and interactive development of the proposal model; Experimentation and implementation of the solution throughout the development of a prototype; Result analysis and formulation of conclusions; and Constant diffusion of knowledge, results obtained and experiences with the scientific community.

Conclusions
Semantic web, a key word in our work, refers to a computational paradigm that allows for interoperability, enabling intelligent ubiquitous computation and communications in order to increase quality of information and decision support. Rules database Fully Semantic Health Record will try to enhance scientific studies and decision support systems that base their work on rule construction from previously identified abnormal situations. Computational Science, the scientific problem must be expressed mathematically, known as the Algorithm. Using semantic web, the algorithm is translated into one or more computer programs and implemented on one or more types of hardware. The combination of software and hardware is referred to as the Computational Architecture, the AIDA agency referred to above.

Tasks Electronic Semantic Health Record


- past and present clinical information; - administrative information; - disease registries; - information on evidence based medicine; - scientific research studies. 1st - Build Electronic Semantic Health Record (ESHR) according the standards of the W3C consortium; 2nd - Assess what the most relevant parameters that can really help health care professionals to consolidate their diagnosis; 3rd - Portal for rules validation. User-friendlier interfaces have a high number of visits, reducing costs and increasing the quality-of-care.

Acknowledgment
This project is only possible thanks to the Information System team at the same healthcare facility for their valuable contributions with ideas and solutions for several questions during the work procedures.
