This study developed a method using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) to transmit infectious disease data from hospital systems to public health systems, improving disease surveillance and response. The XML format enables real-time data exchange for better public health information sharing.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health Informatics
  • Health Information Exchange
  • Infectious Disease Surveillance

Background:

  • Effective infectious disease surveillance relies on seamless information sharing between hospital and public health systems.
  • Current systems often lack interoperability, hindering timely disease reporting and response.
  • Developing standardized data transmission methods is crucial for improving public health infrastructure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for real-time transmission of notifiable infectious disease data from hospital information systems (HIS) to public health information systems (PHIS).
  • To utilize a standard eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format for direct data exchange over the Internet.
  • To enhance infectious disease surveillance and emergent response capabilities in China.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Evaluated the workflow of notifiable infectious disease data reporting in China.
  • Assessed the capacity of healthcare providers for electronic data interchange.
  • Reviewed global electronic health data interchange standards (XML, HL7, CDA, ATSM CCR).
  • Defined an XML implementation format for hospitals to report infectious diseases via the Internet.

Main Results:

  • China has 18,703 county/city hospitals, with nearly 10,000 utilizing HIS capable of collecting required data items.
  • An XML schema and standard data elements were developed for instant, non-duplicated transmission of 23 minimum data set items.
  • The developed standards facilitate accurate data analysis outside HIS and identified future challenges in vocabulary, routing, security, and parsing.

Conclusions:

  • eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a vital standard for data exchange between diverse applications and systems.
  • XML document structures offer a current solution for exchanging notifiable case information among stakeholders via the web.
  • This approach supports the early development of interoperable health information systems in China.
