Openehr with Pophealth #23

Open kirantpatil opened 10 years ago

Hi,

Does Openehr records can be used as input to Pophealth ?

What standards does popHealth use?

popHealth has been designed to be permissive, and support numerous data and transport standards. popHealth's first deployment uses the HITSP C32 and ASTM Continuity of Care Record (CCR)standard for data input, and the Physician Quality Report Initiative (PQRI) registry XML for reporting output. popHealth is designed to be extensible, supporting multiple standards for both input and output into the future; CDA documents, HL7 CCD, ASTM CCR, and the HL7 QRDA.

Thanks, Kiran.

It is the controversial problem what standard should adopt for health care. Thank you for concern about our activity. There are so many standards, but not well-conditioned yet. While HL7 and the relatives are the standard to transport messages between information systems, the openEHR is a standard to records for health care events. Because of this difference, which standard should be use depends on use case. I think what standards does popHealth use is on what you need. This openehr-rails package is still experimental and we need more codes to use this for the working project.
