International standards for the exchange of healthcare information, known as Health Level Seven (HL7), were developed for the interoperability of healthcare information systems. Because of HL7’s complex structure and syntax, HL7 messages are processed by computer software. HL7 defines that, when the version is updated, it should be compatible with the previous version. However, most of the HL7 interface software that is currently in development does not consider the version compatibility of HL7 messages. Instead, a separate conversion software module has been used to handle the version compatibility of HL7 messages for the healthcare information system. However, such a method is inefficient, because it requires several hours and incurs a huge cost. Therefore, in this study, an HL7 parser was developed that not only supports backward compatibility with older versions in accordance with the version compatibility definition of the HL7 V2 messages but also guarantees forward compatibility with newer versions to enhance its utilization. The developed parser was used to test conversion between different versions of HL7 V2 messages which were created to transmit information from one healthcare device to another. Through this test, the usefulness of the developed parser was verified.

Healthcare Practice

The use of new technologies and information systems within healthcare practice provides several advantages and functionalities for healthcare institutions. However, the use of these advanced technologies is not an easy task and the literature has documented several cases of resistance to adopting such technologies by the healthcare staff. Furthermore, governmental reports stated that Iraq healthcare sector is enduring challenges in this regard. For this reason, the current study explored the opinions of healthcare professionals using semi-structured interviews to highlight the important factors and issues that influence the use and adoption of new technologies within Iraq public healthcare sector. To our best knowledge, this empirical study is the first to employ a qualitative approach to address the issue of healthcare information system adoption in Iraq healthcare domain. Twenty six themes have emerged in the findings of this qualitative study which can be helpful for healthcare seniors in order to overcome the present challenges related to the adoption of healthcare information systems and to improve the healthcare practice in general.

Abstract Despite the strong consensus behind the need for an interoperable Healthcare Information System (HIS), the universal acceptance of a standard HIS framework has advanced very little and is yet to become a market reality. In an effort to advance this endeavor, this work provides a systematic comparison regarding two of the most relevant HIS frameworks recently proposed: The Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE) and the Healthcare Industry 4.0 Framework. The paper analyzes their differences and similarities and proposes a minimum set of requirements for prospective interoperable HIS architectures compliant with the Industry 4.0 design principles, goal-setting pillars, as well as support for closed-loop physiological systems. Finally, the paper discusses future works in the field.

BACKGROUND Through several years of the healthcare information exchange based on the HIE project, some problems were found in the CDA documents generated. OBJECTIVE To fix some problems, we developed the K-CDA Implementation Guide (K means S. Korea) that conforms to the HL7 CDA, and suits the domestic conditions regarding the healthcare information. METHODS We achieved by analyzing HIE guideline and the U.S. C-CDA, and comparing each item. The items that required further discussion were reviewed by the expert committee. Based on the reviews, the previously developed templates were revised. RESULTS A total of 35 CDA templates were developed: five document-level templates, fourteen section-level templates, and sixteen entry-level templates. The 28 value sets used in the templates have been improved and the OIDs for HIE have been redefined CONCLUSIONS The K-CDA IG allows management in the form of a template library based on the definition of the General K-Header and the structured templates. This enables the K-CDA IG to respond to the expansion of national HIE templates with flexibility. For the K-CDA IG, the CDA template in current use was incorporated to the greatest extent possible, to minimize the scope of modifications. It enables the national HIE and the HIE with countries abroad.

The rotating machineries in a factory usually have the characteristics of complex structure and highly automated logic, which generated a large amounts of monitoring data. It is an infeasible task for uses to deal with the massive data and locate fault timely. In this paper, we explore the causality between symptom and fault in the context of fault diagnosis in rotating machinery. We introduce data mining into fault diagnosis and provide a formal definition of causal diagnosis rule based on statistic test. A general framework for diagnosis rule discovery based on causality is provided and a simple implementation is explored with the purpose of providing some enlightenment to the application of causality discovery in fault diagnosis of rotating machinery.
