Abstract:
Healthcare systems around the globe are changing their information systems in order to be able to share and reuse patients’ information not only in a department where the information is produced, but also between the departments of an organization and also among the different health organizations or other institutions. For this purpose, lots of data standards and ontologies are developed in the health care domain. BloodTestOntology, which is introduced in this work, describes the substances found in the blood to help physicians in making a diagnosis. Friend of a Friend (FOAF), a well-known ontology for defining personal information, is extended to define required relations for the health care domain. BloodTestOntology is integrated with extended FOAF ontology in order to create an interoperable treatment system with other information systems. The proposed model can be used for personalized treatment suggestion systems.
