| Abstract | The Dutch national ICT institute in healthcare (www.nictiz.nl)
developed a domain information model for perinatology, to map
to the Health Level 7 Reference Information Model (HL7 RIM).
This model was constructed with the intention to make it reusable
for other domains in order to achieve a national infrastructure
based on the HL7 RIM. In two projects, the perinatology
model was reused, which lead to some changes to better express
the domain. It proves valuable to have a kind of generic domain
model, which can be adapted easily to other domains. In these
projects, information for hart infarction (cardiology) and stroke
(neurology) was modelled. Few domain specific changes where
necessary, which could be made following the same methodology.
Both the models and the methodology prove to be re-usable. |
