Development of a Management Tool of CCD/CCR-centric Standard Clinical Document

Abstract

XML-based standards such as CCD(Continuity of Care Document) and CCR(Continuity of Care Record) have been developed for representation, integration, and exchange of personal health record(PHR), and various of researches on PHR based on the standards have been conducted. These researches have developed and used CCD/CCR parsers each with their own different ways, but it can be hard to develop and update the parsers because of the structural complexity of the standards. Moreover, inter-exchange between CCD and CCR documents in the PHR-related medical information systems should be possible for the interoperability of the systems. Therefore, we proposed a designing method to develop the tools treating XML-based CCD/CCR documents. And we implemented CCD/CCR parser based on the proposed method and developed a converter from CCD to CCR using the parsers. To confirm the usefulness of the developed tool, we performed an experiment of creating CCD documents using the personal health data gathered from chronically ill patients in Kyungpook National University Hospital and of converting from the CCD documents to CCR documents.

Development of Cell Phone Application for Blood Glucose Self-Monitoring Based on ISO/IEEE 11073 and HL7 CCD

“…HL7 provides a schema to verify whether the CCD document complies with XML specification and the document is valid. The CCD Library developed in previous research [ 27 ] by this research team provides functions to compose and parse CCD documents by using the Java Document Object Model (DOM) based on the CCD schema.…”
