  2. Contents XML for: • Patient Records • Publishing • Communications

  3. Patient records • Store clinical information as XML • Structured documents • Case notes • Discharges • Referrals • Summary documents • Structured data • XML data model

  4. Information storage • XML as the format for authoring and storage of documents • Rather than Word .Doc, Rich Text Format, Text • Clinical documents • Metadata (description of documents) • Latest Office applications (MS, SUN, Open)

  5. Examples • Graphnet • CSW • Office • Anaesthetic records… • Next 4 slides…

  6. Office applications • MS office, Sun, OpenOffice store & use XML documents • Infopath forms client • Supports web services & XML • Build forms from xml schema

  7. Patient info pre-op instructions Case type pre-op assessment lab test results post-op instructions Replacing Paper Forms

  8. Pasting a Theatre List

  9. Client Behaviour XML SAX Writer XSLT Transform (Optional) XML Signature & Encryption SOAP Message server XSLT Transform (Optional) XML Signature & Encryption SOAP Message XML SAX Handler

  11. Contents XML for: • Patient Records • Publishing • Communications

  12. Publishing

  13. Document Metadata • Data about data…descriptions eg keywords • Descriptive headings about documents • Useful for filing, searching and cataloguing • E-Government metadata standard • HL7 Clinical Document Architecture • need NHS Scotland standards

  14. SHOW & NELH • Main NHS portals • HTML pages need manual updating • XML data storage • XML -> HTML in active server pages • Advantages: • Many views of single data • Support clinical networks • Support automated query tools

  15. NHS Data Dictionary • Data definitions on web • XML export selected definitions • UML models designing XML schema & refer to data definitions. • New dictionary to tie all three together

  16. Contents XML for: • Patient Records • Publishing • Communications

  17. Communications

  18. Electronic Data Interchange • Moving data from one computer to another • Eg Patient referral from GP to hospital • Replace older formats eg EDIFACT • New forms of EDI with user interaction • XML allows Graceful Degradation • View messages if required

  19. GP records exchange • Patient moves house or changes GP • Records follow 4+ weeks later • Electronic exchange is quicker • GPASS early implementations ongoing

  20. NHSScotland GPEX • GPASS specific message • GP exports XML document to PSD • PSD send off to new GP & update CHI • New GP selectively imports record into new GPASS • Currently in early implementation sites

  21. Scottish Birth Record • Replaced SMR for births • Added clinical information • Make useful to clinical care • Rolled out to all maternity units

  22. Concept • Single web site in NHSnet • Browser input from maternity units • Link to PAS’s • Link to new maternity systems • Reduce data duplication • Link to CHI • Give baby new CHI number at birth

  23.

  24. Use of XML • CHI link • Maternity system • Ongoing development

  25. Community Health Index (CHI) • Mainframe application • Green screen terminal input • Need machine EDI input & query

  26. Concept • Casablanca XML to VMS transform application • NHS Standard XML Schema • Web server • HTTPS and XML input to active server pages

  27. XML messages • Register new patient • Find patient • Responses

  28. SCI integration • SCI Store – every health board • Labs systems – feed into Store • E-Biz 2000 middleware & XML

  29. SCI Store Id XRay Lab1.. OK OK 3.2 3.2 xx GPASS practice SCI Integration community/ MH system community pharmacy Labs other PAS non-GPASS practice XRay Test requests and results reporting To achieve this SCI first has to integrate existing hospital systems and re-assemble the patient’s information in a new system called SCI Store OK 3.2

  30. SCI web services • Electronic Transmission of Prescriptions • Referrals to outpatients • SCI Gateway • David Brazier this afternoon

  31. E-Care • Shared care records between health, social services, education and others • Eg Shared Assessments • Elderly • Mental health • children

  32. Single Shared Assessments • Lots of work on data and definitions • Based on paper versions • Initiated by any party • Involves patient/client and relatives/carers • Involves independent sector • Eg churches, voluntary orgs.

  33. Concept • Server in demilitarized zone • XML integration to health system • XML integration to social work system • Browser input

  34. E-care store • Central data store • Multiple identifiers – CHI, Hospital nos., social work numbers • XML Web Services for data exchange

  35. Virtual EHR portal • Pull data from distributed systems • Rearrange • Present to viewer
