“…In healthcare, conformance and interoperability testing are at their very early stages. As pointed out by [ 13 ], conformance testing, interoperability tools and techniques are needed in all healthcare domains to ensure the integration of healthcare enterprises. Also in [ 13 ], the authors reviewed many healthcare domains such as electronic health records and bio-imaging to analyse specific aspects where additional standards are needed in order to achieve automation; they pointed out that current standards deal only with syntactic issues whereas the disparate nature of healthcare vocabularies requires the development of semantic interoperability too.…”

BackgroundWith the deployments of Electronic Health Records (EHR), interoperability testing in healthcare is becoming crucial. EHR enables access to prior diagnostic information in order to assist in health decisions. It is a virtual system that results from the cooperation of several heterogeneous distributed systems. Interoperability between peers is therefore essential. Achieving interoperability requires various types of testing. Implementations need to be tested using software that simulates communication partners, and that provides test data and test plans.ResultsIn this paper we describe a software that is used to test systems that are involved in sharing medical images within the EHR. Our software is used as part of the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) testing process to test the Cross Enterprise Document Sharing for imaging (XDS-I) integration profile. We describe its architecture and functionalities; we also expose the challenges encountered and discuss the elected design solutions.ConclusionsEHR is being deployed in several countries. The EHR infrastructure will be continuously evolving to embrace advances in the information technology domain. Our software is built on a web framework to allow for an easy evolution with web technology. The testing software is publicly available; it can be used by system implementers to test their implementations. It can also be used by site integrators to verify and test the interoperability of systems, or by developers to understand specifications ambiguities, or to resolve implementations difficulties.

“…Recently, there is a gradual paradigm shift in the healthcare sector to gradually migrated paper-based patient medical records to digital electronic ones through the implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. Various EHR standards exists like IEEE [2], DICOM [3], LOINC, SNOMED CT [4], HL7 [5]and FHIR [6].However, even with the introduction of EHR and its diver's standards, healthcare systems are still isolated from each other without much collaboration and interoperability between them [7]. Interoperability of EHR is defined in Health Information Management System Society (HIMSS) as "the ability of two or more applications being able to communicate in an effective manner without compromising the contents of transmitted EHR" [6].…”

The use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) in healthcare has the potential of reducing medical errors, minimizing healthcare cost and significantly improving the healthcare service quality. However, there is a barrier in healthcare data and information exchange between various healthcare systems due to the lack of interoperability. Also, with the implementation of EHR system, there are security and privacy concerns in the storage and transferring data entities. The healthcare interoperability problem remains an issue of further research and this paper proposes a semantic interoperability framework for solving this problem by allowing healthcare stakeholders and organizations (doctors, clinics, hospitals)using various healthcare standards to exchange data and its semantics, which can be understood by both machines and humans. Moreover, the proposed framework takes into consideration the security aspects in the semantic interoperability framework by utilizing data encryption and other technologies to secure the communication for the EHR information while ensuring real time data availability.
