Semantic interoperability system for medicinal information
First Claim
1. A system for managing and exchanging electronic health record information, the system comprising:
- one or more client computers;
a computer network; and
a computable semantics and interoperability server computer communicatively coupled to the one or more client computers over the computer network, wherein the computable semantics and interoperability server computer comprises;
a terminology management component configured for unified storing of different medical terminologies and for mapping between said different medical terminologies, wherein each medical terminology includes a value set that comprises terms and relationships between terms;
a rules management component configured for executing conceptual rules, wherein said conceptual rules reflect hierarchies and structures of said different medical terminologies according to a particular standard;
an information model management component configured for;
binding to said terminology management component and said rules management component to process electronic health record information from different sources, said information model management component being configured for storing said electronic health record information comprising particular terms of said different medical terminologies, andmanaging one or more information models created by a model authoring component of an authoring workbench, wherein at least one of the one or more information models includes one or more information model slots; and
a system configuration management component configured for dynamic binding of said one or more information model slots to one or more value sets via said conceptual rules, wherein each slot includes a pointer to one of said conceptual rules, and wherein said one conceptual rule includes one or more pointers to said one or more value sets;
wherein each of said rules management component, said terminology management component, and said information model management component employs a plurality of services collaborating with each other as consumers and providers of their respective functionality, andwherein said terminology management component is adapted to utilize at least some of said plurality of services to return conceptual information of said different medical terminologies as requested by a service requestor to further process said electronic heath record information.

Abstract
A system for managing and exchanging electronic information provides a rules management component for executing conceptual rules, an ontology management component, an information model management component, and a system configuration management component. The ontology management component manages at least one ontology and mappings between members of different ontologies. The ontologies may include a code system and a terminology. The ontology management component may manage a value set that is a subset of the terminology. The information model management component manages one or more information model schemas, each defining an information model and comprising information defining at least one slot within the information model. The system configuration management component manages configuration information on the configuration of each system component. The system configuration component utilizes services of the rules management component, information model management component and ontology management component to dynamically bind value sets to slots of the information model.
