“…There are suggestions that the core patient data conform to related rules of health information resource management and be based on international health coding and classification systems. 43 Referencing can start with adoption of international terminologies such as SNOMED for clinical symptoms, ICD for medical assessment, and LOINC for laboratory findings.…”

“…44 In another study, the Greek hospitals and health facilities despite implementing wellknown data coding schemes such as ICD-10, ICPC, GMDN family, showed that less than a third of doctors adopted the scheme in their clinical assessment. 43 The study cited that this was due to lack of health information management education and training on ICT among clinicians. The authors suggest that hospitals should train doctors in accessing and managing clinical information.…”

Background. eHealth is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health. It helps in improving the flow of information, through electronic means, in support of the delivery of health services, and the management of health systems. eHealth is used as the strategic context and tool in achieving population health, improved health system status, and socio-economic development goals. Objectives. This study is aimed at looking at the Philippine National eHealth Strategy, particularly the components of Terminology Standards and Interoperability concerning the eHealth strategy in the Philippines, and to assess the barriers and gaps in the integration of these two components. Methods. This study used secondary literature, internet search, Philippine laws, administrative orders, memorandum circulars, and grey literature to discourse terminology standards and interoperability in the Philippine eHealth system, and issues and gaps related to these components that may impede the delivery of Universal Health Coverage in the country. Results. The current Philippine National eHealth strategy includes the following sector governance, legislation, policy and compliance, eHealth solution (i.e., services and applications), strategy and investment, infrastructure (government), human resources, and standards and interoperability. Philippine Health Information Exchange (PHIE) is a software platform in the country that aims to connect many isolated electronic health systems. The proposed interoperability layer across health systems and services in the Philippines includes Patient’s Primary Healthcare Consultation at the Rural Health Unit, health research, legal information, patient healthcare at tertiary hospital, and health insurance claims. The study results showed that issues and gaps related to the interoperability of eHealth in the Philippines include technical issues such as lack of common semantics, lack of an institutional mechanism to regulate EMR, lack of incentives among eHealth providers and stakeholders to adopt standards for interoperability. Conclusion. The effort of the Philippines to achieve interoperability and standards in eHealth goals can be characterized as a work in progress. The government, private sector, physician, patient, and other stakeholders are deemed to continuously develop a shared vision and interoperate under a standardized guide as eHealth is a complex endeavor that covers many aspects.

“…The system is based on interoperability and security standards (HL7 CDA, IHE ATNA, respectively), interconnects with pharmacies information systems through a CDA based RESTFul API (Application Programming Interface), in order to automatically dispense electronic and hand-written prescriptions. Among the recognized pitfalls of the system is the difficulty among physicians in selecting the correct, for each patient, ICD diagnosis among thousands possible ones so that it can be used for patient safety applications and management of ADEs and medication adherence [6].…”
