Popis: The wide gap between a care provider's conceptualization of electronic health record (EHR) and the structures for electronic health record (EHR) data storage and transmission, presents a multitude of obstacles for development of innovative Health IT applications. While developers model the EHR view of the clinicians at one end, they work with a different data view to construct health IT applications. Although there has been considerable progress to bridge this gap by evolution of developer friendly standards and tools for terminology mapping and data warehousing, there is a need for a simplified framework to facilitate development of interoperable applications. To this end, we propose a framework for creating a layer of semantic abstraction on the EHR and describe preliminary work on the implementation of this framework for management of hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Our goal is to facilitate the rapid development and portability of Health IT applications.
