HIXEn: An integration engine for multi-vocabulary health information using REST & semantic metadata mapping
Integration of Health Information Systems (HIS) has been a challenge because of the different semantics that are used by health-care practices and different levels of health-care systems need different kinds of information. Looking through the case of two widely used open-source HIS (one patient-level and one aggregate country-level system), the paper analyses multiple approaches for integration. The paper develops a novel integration engine (HIXEn) that uses concepts of distributed hypermedia systems from RESTful architecture and Resource Descriptors from semantic web that can allow health information exchanges to flexibly connect different HIS.
