Personal Health Records (PHR's) and related services are emerging rapidly. Currently, most PHR's are isolated and do not communicate with other systems. Standards for interoperability exist, but they are oriented towards clinical applications. However, a substantial part of a typical PHR consists of non-clinical information such as a health diary. The present paper highlights the requirements related to exchanging non-clinical PHR information between services and shows how this information exchange can be accomplished. The approach utilizes a SOAP message for carrying the actual PHR content in a structure referred as Health Diary Entry (HDE) document. The HDE document provides mechanisms to bind the contents to external vocabularies and ontologies to achieve semantic interoperability. The approach was successfully tested in the context of an occupational health pilot, in which data contents from several health and wellness applications were merged into a common database.
个人健康记录(PHR)及相关服务正在迅速兴起。目前,大多数PHR都是孤立的,无法与其他系统通信。互操作性标准虽然存在,但它们主要面向临床应用。然而,典型的PHR的很大一部分由非临床信息组成,例如健康日记。本文强调了服务之间交换非临床PHR信息的相关要求,并展示了如何实现这种信息交换。该方法利用SOAP消息在一个称为健康日记条目(HDE)文档的结构中携带实际的PHR内容。HDE文档提供了将内容绑定到外部词汇表和本体的机制,以实现语义互操作性。该方法在职业健康试点项目中得到了成功测试,在该项目中,来自多个健康与保健应用程序的数据内容被合并到一个公共数据库中。
