Abstract
Proven protocols remain isolated inside institutions because EHR systems cannot understand each other's data semantically. Current data models each advance semantic interoperability, but none fully solves the problem of cross-institutional protocol portability. The authors suggest that large language models can translate data across systems using existing data model frameworks as "clinical constitutions" to achieve interoperability without universal standards.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Medical Systems provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the increasingly extensive applications of new systems techniques and methods in hospital clinic and physician''s office administration; pathology radiology and pharmaceutical delivery systems; medical records storage and retrieval; and ancillary patient-support systems. The journal publishes informative articles essays and studies across the entire scale of medical systems from large hospital programs to novel small-scale medical services. Education is an integral part of this amalgamation of sciences and selected articles are published in this area. Since existing medical systems are constantly being modified to fit particular circumstances and to solve specific problems the journal includes a special section devoted to status reports on current installations.
