Controlled Medical Vocabularies (CMVs) can be modeled as Object-Oriented Databases (OODBs) for better comprehension and access. This study details converting a hospital formulary into an Object-Oriented Healthcare Vocabulary Repository (OOHVR).

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Database Management
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Controlled Medical Vocabularies (CMVs) are crucial for healthcare data interoperability, information sharing, and decision support.
  • Modeling CMVs using Object-Oriented Databases (OODBs) offers enhanced vocabulary comprehension and flexible data access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the process of modeling and converting an integrated hospital formulary into an Object-Oriented Healthcare Vocabulary Repository (OOHVR).
  • To demonstrate the creation of a specific OOHVR (CHREF-OOHVR) using formulary data and the National Drug Code (NDC) directory.

Main Methods:

  • Modeled an existing hospital formulary (Connecticut Healthcare Research and Education Foundation - CHREF) as an OODB.
  • Integrated semantic hierarchy from the National Drug Code (NDC) directory for drug classification.

  • Developed and utilized the OOHVR Generator program for automated conversion to OOHVR format.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully created the CHREF-OOHVR, an OODB representation of the CHREF formulary.
    • The OOHVR Generator program facilitated the automated conversion process.
    • The CHREF-OOHVR is operational on the ONTOS OODB management system and accessible via the Web.

    Conclusions:

    • Object-oriented modeling provides significant advantages for managing and accessing healthcare vocabularies.
    • Automated conversion tools like the OOHVR Generator streamline the creation of OOHVRs.
    • Web accessibility of OOHVRs enhances their utility in healthcare information systems.
