AUTOMATING THE IMPORTATION OF MEDICATION DATA INTO PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS

Abstract

A personal health record (PHR) provides a summary of the health and medical history of a consumer. It includes data gathered from different sources such as from health care providers, pharmacies, insures, the consumer, and third parties such as gyms. Importing data into PHRs is problematic as different data sources use different representation formats. In addition, automating the importation is problematic as many of the sources are built based on proprietary solutions, and thereby are not able to interoperate with PHR systems. In this paper, we described how the importation of e-prescriptions into PHRs can be automated. In our solution e-prescriptions are produced by an electronic prescription writer (EPW) which functionality is specified by BPMN notation and then translated into executable WS-BPEL code. The EPW sends CCR-formatted data of e-prescriptions into PHR system, which first transforms (if needed) the data into the format of the used PHR system, and then stores them into PHRs. In particular, we consider how a PHR system can transform a CCR-formatted data into RDF/XML format. The gain of such transformation is that we can implement the PHR system as an application of a knowledge base system, and thereby we can capture the wide expression power of knowledge base system’s query interface into the PHR system.
