Description:
In this prezo I have touched upon what an information model is and what is not, especially with relation to terminology. The highlight is to demonstrate the similarities (and differences) between clinical models of openEHR (archetypes & templates) and FHIR. It is obvious that the World doesn't need more standards and a collaborative approach to content development is a necessity. Lastly I make connection with New Zealand's content model approach.

(Clinical) Information ModelsMyths and Facts

• They are NOT reference information models; – as in HL7 v3 RIM, openEHR/ISO13606 or FHIR resource ontology!

• They are pure representations of health information

• They may employ a number of formats and methods; inc.– Mindmaps, pdf, UML, XML/XSD, Archetypes, FHIR resources and even

OO language implementations

• For max semantic interoperability & computability: formal reference information model – but can be very generic!

• Latest buzzword: Detailed Clinical Models (DCM)

What’s in the name?

Terminology: Labels/codes attached to atomic concepts (mostly without explicit context)

– Diabetes Mellitus, ear ache, left hip, CT scan etc.

Some have hierarchy (ICD) & relationships (SNOMED)

Boundary Problem Terminology binding

Information Model: structure and semantics of concrete clinical concepts w/ context

– Blood pressure measurement, lab test result, discharge summary, adverse reaction, prescription etc.

Open specs, tools and content for representing health information & building EHR– Based on 18+ years of international implementation experience

including Good European Health Record Project– Origin of ISO/CEN 13606 EHR standard

Not-for-profit organisation - established in 2001 www.openEHR.org

“Inside Systems” vs HIE Separation of clinical

and technical worlds• Big international community

& Archetypes• FHIR resources and Archetypes are closely related

– should avoid reinvention at all costs!• Archetype FHIR resource conversion is expected

to be seamless– Archetypes are maximal datasets; as opposed to– FHIR resources include most commonly used items

(e.g. 80%) with an option to extend as needed (e.g. 20%)

• An opportunity exists for FHIR to leverage openEHR content, tooling and expertise

What is a Content Model?• IT IS A REFERENCE LIBRARY – of validated information models for health

information exchange (and more!)

• Consists of maximal datasets (as opposed to minimal)– normalised using a standard EHR record organisation (openEHR)– Expressed as reusable and computable models – Archetypes

• Top level organisation follows CCR

• Only relevant items bound to SNOMED, ICD, LOINC etc.

• Further detail provided by:– Existing relevant sources (CCDA, Nehta, epSoS, HL7 FHIR etc.)– Extensions (of above) and new Archetypes (NZ specific)

• Each HIE content (CDA/FHIR/v2) will include one or more models and formally conform

Usage of the Content Model

Page 26: Information Models & FHIR --- It’s all about content!

Extending ECM• Addition of new models• Making existing models more specific

– powerful Archetype specialisation mechanism:– Lab result > HbA1C result, Lipid profiles etc.
