Abstract

Use of heterogeneous data models in hospital information systems (HIS), obstructs the integration of clinical decision support system (CDSS) with clinical workflows. The diverse concepts diminish the interoperability level among the CDSS knowledge bases and data models of HIS. Standard terminology utilization in knowledge acquisition and its reconciliation with HIS data models are the candidate solution to overcome the interoperability barrier. We propose a reconciliation model to map concepts of diverse domain clinical models (DCM) with the standard terminology. In the proposed model, the implicit and explicit semantics are complemented to the word set of the targeted DCM concepts. The inclusion of semantics, mapped the DCM concepts to the SNOMED CT concepts with high accuracy. The results showed that the system correctly mapped 95% of concepts of DCM with standard terminology SNOMED CT concepts.
