| Popis: | The Ministry of Health and Environmental Control of Berlin is developing a Health Information System (HIS) on the basis of a multi-satellite network system, comprising a central, regional, local and functional unit level. The main part of this paper describes the conceptual structure of the Common Data Base (CDB) of HIS with special regard to the patient-oriented medical information originating from the various institutions of the health care system. This structure comprises the following five levels: 1. PATIENT 2. PROBLEM 3. CASE 4. EVENT 5. ACT Each of the levels represents a node in the structure model. A node is an entity with a set of "local properties" being specified for each level, referring to selected data on inferior levels. The structures of these five levels are described in detail. In the last part, so-called "data-manipulation procedures" are treated. These are descriptions covering any data manipulation and represent the basis of data integrity through system controlled transaction with the data base. |
