XML as standard for communicating in a document-based electronic patient record: a 3 years experiment.

During the past few years, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has progressively become a gold standard for accessing, representing and exchanging information, especially in the health care environment. This paper presents an implementation of the use of XML for the electronic patient record (EPR) and discusses more specifically its growing use in two areas of the EPR: first, as a format for the exchange of structured messages, and second, as a comprehensible way of representing patient documents. These statements rely on a 3 years experiment conducted at the Geneva University Hospital as part of its document-centered EPR.

Clinical documents: attribute-values entity representation,context, page layout and communication.

This paper presents how acquisition, storage and communication of clinical documents is implemented at the University Hospitals of Geneva. Careful attention has been given to user-interfaces, in order to support complex layouts, spell checking, and templates management with automatic prefilling. A dual architecture has been developed for storage using an entity-attribute-value unified database and a consolidated, patient-centered, layout-respectful file-based storage, providing both representation power and speed of access. This architecture allows a great flexibility for storing a continuum of data types, ranging from simple typed values to complex clinical reports. Finally, communication is entirely based on HTTP-XML internally, and a HL-7 CDA interface V2 is currently studied for external communication. Some of the problems encountered, mostly related to the typology of documents and the ontology of clinical attributes are evoked.

XML as standard for communicating in a document-based electronic patient record: a three years experiment.

During the past few years, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has experienced a growing use for accessing, representing and exchanging information, especially in the health care environment. This paper discusses the potentials of the use of XML for the electronic patient record (EPR) in two ways: first, as a format for the exchange of structured messages, and second, as a comprehensible way of representing patient documents. These statements rely on a three years experiment conducted at the Geneva University Hospital as part of its document-centred EPR.
