WMPI1607 - CME/CMLE - Interoperability of Data and Standardization of Terminology-WMPI1607

WMPI1607 - Learning Activity

Pdf Summary

The assignment for Health Information Management focuses on Interoperability and Terminology within laboratory information systems (LIS). Students are required to review how instruments and systems communicate with the LIS, including data exchange methods and application and instrument interface systems used. They are also tasked with examining the workflow within the lab, identifying systems involved, their functions, and data storage/transmission methods. Point-of-care testing practices and how data is handled in the LIS are also to be explored. Additionally, students are to review standards organizations, particularly HL7, and their role in data exchange within the lab. Service-oriented architectures in the lab setting are to be analyzed as well. Lastly, students are prompted to review information ontologies and terminologies utilized in the lab, identifying those they are familiar with and those they need to learn more about. This assignment aims to deepen students' understanding of the complex network of systems and standards that underpin effective data management within healthcare settings.
