Healthcare Interoperability Standards Compliance Handbook

This book focuses on the development and use of interoperability standards related to healthcare information technology (HIT) and provides in-depth discussion of the associated essential aspects. The book explains the principles of conformance, examining how to improve the content of healthcare data exchange standards (including HL7 v2.x, V3/CDA, FHIR, CTS2, DICOM, EDIFACT, and ebXML), the rigor of conformance testing, and the interoperability capabilities of healthcare applications for the benefit of healthcare professionals who use HIT, developers of HIT applications, and healthcare consumers who aspire to be recipients of safe and effective health services facilitated through meaningful use of well-designed HIT.
Readers will understand the common terms interoperability, conformance, compliance and compatibility, and be prepared to design and implement their own complex interoperable healthcare information system. Chapters address the practical aspects of the subject matter to enable application of previously theoretical concepts. The book provides real-world, concrete examples to explain how to apply the information, and includes many diagrams to illustrate relationships of entities and concepts described in the text.
Designed for professionals and practitioners, this book is appropriate for implementers and developers of HIT, technical staff of information technology vendors participating in the development of standards and profiling initiatives, informatics professionals who design conformance testing tools, staff of information technology departments in healthcare institutions, and experts involved in standards development. Healthcare providers and leadership of provider organizations seeking a better understanding of conformance, interoperability, and IT certification processes will benefit from this book, as will students studying healthcare information technology.

Aceasta carte se concentreaza pe dezvoltarea si utilizarea standardelor de interoperabilitate legate de tehnologia informatiei din domeniul sanatatii (HIT) si ofera o discutie aprofundata a aspectelor esentiale asociate. Cartea explica principiile conformitatii, examinand modul de imbunatatire a continutului standardelor de schimb de date privind asistenta medicala (inclusiv HL7 v2.x, V3 / CDA, FHIR, CTS2, DICOM, EDIFACT si ebXML), rigurozitatea testarii conformitatii si capacitati de interoperabilitate ale aplicatiilor de asistenta medicala in beneficiul profesionistilor din domeniul sanatatii care utilizeaza HIT, dezvoltatorilor de aplicatii HIT si consumatorilor de asistenta medicala care aspira sa fie beneficiari de servicii de sanatate sigure si eficiente facilitate prin utilizarea semnificativa a HIT bine conceput. Cititorii vor intelege termenii comuni interoperabilitate, conformitate, conformitate si compatibilitate si sa fie pregatiti sa proiecteze si sa implementeze propriul sistem complex de informatii interoperabile privind asistenta medicala.
