Paper Abstract:
|
The Information Technology (IT) applied to healthcare has the potential to bring several benefits to patients as well as physicians. A kind of system which attempts to improve the healthcare process is the Electronic Health Record (EHR). However, with the emergence of different standards, a way to establish communication between them is needed. Although some works have addressed the interoperability issue, most of them are based on the use of custom tools to exchange data between EHRs. This paper proposes the development of an ontology, called HIGO (Health Information Gathering Ontology), which captures the common information between each EHR. After, we use the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) to create rules that feed this ontology. The method evaluation was done with vital signs data, represented using openEHR and FHIR (Fast Interoperable Health Resources) standards. As result, using the HIGO ontology and SWRL rules, we were able to query both standards without being necessary to develop specific queries for each one. |
