Abstract:
This study presents the implementation of European health informatics standards in the Hospital Information System (HIS) and the Scientific Repositories employed in the University Specialized Hospital for Active treatment of Endocrinology. It has the purpose to demonstrate the usage of the archetype paradigm in achieving semantic interoperability in clinical data exchange. This approach enables to transfer several medico-administrative, clinical and laboratory data from the Hospital Information System to the Register of rare endocrine diseases. The Orphanet nomenclature of rare diseases as well as international Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) maintained by the Regenstrief Institute, and Systematized Nomenclature Of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) codes are used for this purpose. Initial computer experiments are demonstrated and discussed.
