Nowadays, many healthcare providers archive and manage patients’ data in an electronic format. The reuse of such clinical information is essential from both a scientific and financial perspective; and for the integration of primary care and clinical research, which has become a main goal. The objective of the proposed solution is the integration of data between a web platform, developed for research purposes, and HIS. Information is shared through a bidirectional standard interface, based on healthcare ontologies (LOINC, ICD and SNOMED) and standard messaging (HL7 CDA V3 R2) for data exchange. Such an interface allows data import from HIS to a web platform and vice versa. Currently, this project is implemented in the Infectious Diseases context. A complete data integration and semantic interoperability has been obtained between the “Ligurian HIV Clinical Network” and the Infectious Diseases wards of different hospitals throughout the region.

Abstract
Nowadays, many healthcare providers archive and manage patients’ data in an electronic format. The reuse of such clinical information is essential from both a scientific and financial perspective; and for the integration of primary care and clinical research, which has become a main goal. The objective of the proposed solution is the integration of data between a web platform, developed for research purposes, and HIS. Information is shared through a bidirectional standard interface, based on healthcare ontologies (LOINC, ICD and SNOMED) and standard messaging (HL7 CDA V3 R2) for data exchange. Such an interface allows data import from HIS to a web platform and vice versa. Currently, this project is implemented in the Infectious Diseases context. A complete data integration and semantic interoperability has been obtained between the “Ligurian HIV Clinical Network” and the Infectious Diseases wards of different hospitals throughout the region.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
