Abstract |
Medical environments incorporate complex and integrated data networks to transfer vast amounts of patient information, such as images, waveforms, and other digital data. To assure interoperability of images, waveforms and patient data, health level seven(HL7) was developed as an international standard to facilitate the communication and storage of medical data. We also adopted medical waveform description format encoding rule(MFER) standard for encoding waveform biosignal such as ECG, EEG and so on. And, the study converted a broad domain of clinical data on patients, including MFER, into a HL7 message, and saved them in a clinical database in hospital. According to results obtained in the test environment, it was possible to acquire the same HL7 message and biosignal data as ones acquired during transmission. Through this study, we might conclude that the proposed system can be a promising model for electronic medical record system in u-healthcare environment. |
