In today's healthcare landscape, providers often find their data scattered across multiple applications, many of which offer only a limited and fragmented view of patient information due to reliance on legacy data formats. This lack of interoperability is a considerable challenge to achieve efficient and safe patient treatment.
Open health data platforms, such as the Health Intelligence Platform (HIP), aim to bridge this gap by integrating and transforming medical data. By providing a vendor neutral, standardised, and semantically rich representation of patient data, these platforms enable seamless data integration and the development of health applications based on a standardized view of the data.
In this series of articles, we will explore the integration component of HIP - the HIP-Bridge. This component acts as a configurable facade, enabling integration with legacy systems while storing data in open, standardised formats such as openEHR and HL7 FHIR.
What to expect in this series
- Part 1: An overview of the general architecture of the HIP-Bridge.
- Part 2: How to integrate with a hospital information system (HIS) to to create patient and encounter data in HIP.
- Part 3: The process of storing clinical data within the system.
- Part 4: How to efficiently search for and retrieve medical data.
