Objective This project bridges the gap between developers of healthcare terminologies and healthcare information systems. A broad view on the development of medical language is needed, concerning not only storage formats but above all patient documentation and systems integration, since for real seamless care, patient records have to be understood unambiguously on all sides. A series of workshops will broaden the awareness of terminological issues and solutions in patient documentation, and initiate close and lasting cooperation between developers of medical terminology and developers of healthcare record systems. The workshops will determine the scope of the problems, recommend measures to increase interoperability of systems, encourage classification centres to take up responsibility for all terminological issues in healthcare records, and produce working prototypes showing the principles of intelligible patient data exchange. http://www.ehm.kun.nl/mi Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdata sciencedata exchange Programme(s) FP4-TELEMATICS 2C - Specific programme of research and technological development and demonstration in the area of telematic applications of common interest, 1994-1998 Topic(s) C.7 - Telematics Applications for Healthcare Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme Data not available Coordinator Stichting Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen Address Kapittelweg 54 6500 HB Nijmegen Netherlands See on map EU contribution No data
