Using semantic technologies to promote interoperability between electronic healthcare records' information models

Abstract

There are currently different standards for representing electronic healthcare records (EHR). Each standard defines its own information models, so that, in order to promote the interoperability among standard-compliant information systems, the different information models must be semantically integrated. In this work, we present an ontological approach to promote interoperability among CEN- and OpenEHR-compliant information systems.
