Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to introduce to you this healthcare community effort
initiated in June 2013, to build an axtension to schema.org medical
entity (named health.schema.org).
This effort aimed to enable the use of schema.org not only by webmasters
but also in indexing health records, healthcare documents and as a
pillar open source of medical ontology/vocabulary for formalization of
healthcare information. This effort was insipired by the experience with
SALUS EU FP7 project (info here and here).
Within SALUS EU FP7 project- with AGFA Healthcare as a partner, several
reusable clinical entities using schema.org as a third-party pillar
source of medical ontology and have been tested successfully and used.
This community effort aim to provide a medical/health vocabulary. The
intention is not to be complete nor replacing existing clinical
information models nor creating a new information model. The aim is
mainly to provide most usefull and frequently used (so, demand driven)
classes and predicates related to medical domain. Within this scope all
concepts are mapped to the existing terminology (SNOMED, ICD, LOINC,
ATC, RxNorm,etc.) as far as it's feasible.
The proposal have been already submitted to schema.org and waiting for
approval.
We will leave out to the consumer the next step of drafting a set of
clinical information models using schema.org as a third-party pillar
source of medical ontology. This will contribute to the interoperability
and re-use of the patterns in healthcare information exchange.
Do not miss this momentum! Please join this effort today and be part of
future healthcare information sharing community!
You're all welcome!
Marc Twagirumukiza
