This study presents a systematic approach for electronic patient record (EPR) data transmission, clearly separating data structuring, sending, and receiving tasks. This method streamlines data exchange and simplifies updates between healthcare information systems.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Science
  • Data Management

Background:

  • Interoperability between electronic patient record (EPR) systems is crucial for seamless healthcare data exchange.
  • Current data transmission methods often lack clear task separation, leading to complexities in system integration and maintenance.
  • Challenges arise in mapping data structures and semantic content between diverse EPR systems and middleware solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a systematic approach for electronic patient record (EPR) data transmission that clearly distinguishes between data structuring, message mapping, and data reception tasks.
  • To demonstrate the practical application of this approach in a real-world scenario involving a cancer registry and healthcare information system middleware.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method in identifying early design issues and facilitating system updates.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a distinct methodology for data transmission, separating the definition of message structure and semantic content from the mapping processes.
  • Implemented a data transfer procedure utilizing this approach between a cancer registry application and a healthcare information system middleware.
  • Documented the process of system updates and message format exchanges to assess the flexibility and efficiency of the implemented method.

Main Results:

  • The systematic approach facilitated the early identification of potential data transfer problems during the design phase.
  • Modifications to the data exchange procedure were effectively limited to specific tasks when EPR applications were updated.
  • The underlying message format for data exchange was successfully updated without requiring a complete reimplementation of the interface.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed systematic approach enhances the clarity and efficiency of data transmission between electronic patient record (EPR) systems.
  • This methodology simplifies system maintenance and reduces the effort required for updates and modifications.
  • The approach offers flexibility in adapting to evolving message formats and system integrations within healthcare information systems.
