Abstract

Healthcare information systems include the information technologies and processes that support the healthcare providers in performing their services. Currently more and more healthcare organizations are converting their paper data to electronic format and keep them in computers' storage. This practice is partly due to government laws or regulations; it is also partly due to a need to effectively compete with other healthcare organizations. Two main types of electronic data records for a healthcare organization are electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic health record (EHR) for patients. There are two characteristics of a patient's data records. The first is their longevity and the second is the strict requirement of their integrity. Properly managing these data records is a challenging task. This paper presents an approach in modeling the management of EMR's and EHR's by using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). It demonstrates the usefulness by mapping some important healthcare functions to the elements of the UML model.

医疗保健信息系统中电子健康记录的建模管理

医疗保健信息系统包括支持医疗保健提供者执行其服务的信息技术和流程。目前，越来越多的医疗机构正在将其纸质数据转换为电子格式，并将其保存在计算机存储中。这种做法部分是由于政府的法律或法规;部分原因还在于需要有效地与其他医疗保健组织竞争。医疗保健组织的两种主要电子数据记录类型是患者的电子医疗记录(EMR)和电子健康记录(EHR)。病人的数据记录有两个特点。第一是它们的寿命，第二是它们的完整性的严格要求。正确管理这些数据记录是一项具有挑战性的任务。本文提出了一种利用统一建模语言(UML)对电子病历和电子病历的管理进行建模的方法。它通过将一些重要的医疗保健功能映射到UML模型的元素来演示其实用性。
