Specifying middleware for electronic health record data integration
Abstract
This work specifies an HL7-based middleware capable of encoding, storing and interoperating Electronic Health Record data. Based on the HL7 clinical document architecture, the software architecture of the proposed middleware was specified, a set of rules were described to map the informationof a relational data schema in HL7 messages and a tool was implemented to support the data interoperability through the proposed solution.
