The Department of Defense (DoD) has used a common application, Composite Health Care System (CHCS), throughout all DoD facilities. However, the master files used to encode patient data in CHCS are not identical across DoD facilities. The encoded data is thus not interoperable from one DoD facility to another. To enable data interoperability in the next-generation system, CHCS II, and for the DoD to exchange laboratory results with external organizations such as the Veterans Administration (VA), the disparate master file codes for laboratory results are mapped to Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes (LOINC) wherever possible. This paper presents some findings from our experience mapping DoD laboratory results to LOINC.
美国国防部(DoD)在其所有设施中都使用了一个通用应用程序——综合医疗保健系统(CHCS)。然而,用于在CHCS中对患者数据进行编码的主文件在国防部各设施之间并不相同。因此,编码数据在国防部的一个设施到另一个设施之间无法实现互操作。为了在下一代系统CHCS II中实现数据互操作性,并使国防部能够与退伍军人管理局(VA)等外部组织交换实验室结果,实验室结果的不同主文件代码在可能的情况下都被映射到逻辑观察标识符名称和代码(LOINC)。本文介绍了我们将国防部实验室结果映射到LOINC的经验中的一些发现。
