Application of Standard Terminologies for the Development of a Customized Healthcare Service based on a PHR Platform

Abstract

The personal health record platform can store and manage medical records, health-monitoring data such as blood pressure and blood sugar, and life logs generated from various wearable devices. It provides services such as international standard-based medical document management, data pattern analysis and an intelligent inference engine, and disease prediction and domain contents. This study aims to construct a foundation for the transmission of international standard-based medical documents by mapping the diagnosis items of a general health examination, special health examination, life logs, health data, and life habits with the international standard terminology systems. The results of mapping with international standard terminology systems show a high mapping rate of 95.6%, with 78.8% for LOINC, 10.3% for SNOMED, and 6.5% when mapped with both LOINC and SNOMED

Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC®) Applied to Microbiology: A National Laboratory Mapping Experience in Taiwan

“…In recent decades, the scope of LOINC content has significantly increased, extending to clinical and non-clinical observations, such as vital signs, echocardiography, obstetric ultrasound, pulmonary ventilator management, Glasgow coma score, gastro-endoscopic procedures, and billing [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Taiwan has developed an electronic laboratory reporting (ELR) system and adopted and used standardized terminologies since 2006.…”
