Abstract


Health information presents significant spatial-temporal and domain complexities, which challenges the creation of citizen-centered, longitudinal, interoperable, and semantically coherent healthcare information systems. This paper presents the migration strategy of a pre-hospital cardiology emergency system from a relational data model to multilevel modeling. The graphic user interfaces of the original system have been preserved and matched to correspondent openEHR archetypes, and the archetype specializations needed for such matching were modeled. We expect, with the results presented in this paper, the achievement of a semantic interoperability for deployments of this system at the points of care.
