Entity-relationship modeling is onemajo

17、r technique used (1)7to establish the conceptual“ things”and their relationships involved in this overall functionaldomain. “Objects” (2, 3) is another term for these things, andthe object concept involves very specific characteristics asso-ciated with a defined object such as encapsulation and inhe

18、r-itance. Common ground exists between entity and objectrepresentations of models. However, the object terminology isstill evolving into a clearly established dictionary associatedwith object modeling at the analysis (2), design (3), andimplementation (3) levels of information systems engineering.4.

19、1.1 At the analysis level, which is most relevant toimplementation-independent standards creation, the static levelis first in importance since it identifies the involved objects andtheir static characteristics, such as definitions, relationships,and inheritance. Subsequently, the service/messages c

20、ommu-nication properties constitute the second level of importance,because they specify the dynamics of system behavior. How-ever, messages are more difficult to define since systembehavior patterns are more complex. This secondary domainalso involves the telecommunications aspects that are the focu

21、sof other standards bodies. Because of the distributed andnetworked architectures of the newest systems, telecommuni-cations may be of prime importance in qualifying the defini-tions of system behavior identified in Practice E 1239. For allof these reasons, it is of special importance to initially e

22、stablishan object-oriented static model for the RADT functionaldomain that can be the basis for definitions of healthcare datamanagement and standards setting and serve as a foundationfor modeling telecommunications standards.4.1.2 While this practice was being developed, a jointworking group (JWG)

23、on data modeling of the then AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI) Healthcare InformaticsStandards Planning Panel (HISPP), now Health InformaticsStandards Board (HISB), began work on a common data model(CDM) for the healthcare information domain. A JWG datamodeling convention document (IEEE 11

24、57.1) guides the con-ventions to be used, and this practice reflects those conventionsas they are currently known. It is intended that this practicecontribute to establishing the RADT core of the CDM. Theexact boundaries of the RADT functional domain have not yetbeen agreed on formally. The objects

25、included here are thosethat involve data generally associated with administrative anddemographic functions in patient care but that may also belinked with other functional domains involved with health care.4.2 Inclusion of Emergency Medical Systems FunctionsThis practice also takes note of the recen

26、t work of theemergency medical systems (EMS) standards ASTM Subcom-mittee F30.03.03 on Data Management Systems in defining thepre-hospital and associated emergency room data (GuideF 1629) required for emergency medical service system man-agement. The hospital and emergency room data are a subset oft

27、hat identified in Practice E 1384 and is consistent with thestatement of Steen and Dick (4) that EMS data are part of theprimary record of care. This concept has already been recog-nized in several state statutes that are part of the implementa-tion of an injury control plan by the Centers for Disea

28、seControl (see Practice E 1744). This RADT object modelpractice extends those data elements already defined in PracticeE 1384 by associating them with common RADT objects, asdefined here, that form the basis for a predictable systembehavior for trauma data. The behavior of clinical data will bedefin

29、ed subsequently in following standards.4.3 Relationships to Other SystemsThis practice alsoidentifies those objects in the RADT functional domain that arerequired by clinical laboratory information management sys-tems (CLIMS) (Guide E 1639), radiology information systems(RIS), and other ancillary sy

30、stems. This model also forms thecore for a basic ambulatory record system, and specializedvariants, in support of clinical specialties in medicine anddentistry. The object models for these ancillary and specializedelectronic health record (EHR) systems are defined in otherstandards that constitute t

31、he “family of models” that extend theRADT function.5. Significance and Use5.1 RADT Object Model as a Basis for CommunicationThe RADT object model is the first model used to create acommon library of consistent entities (objects) and theirattributes in the terminology of object analytical models asap

32、plied to the healthcare domain. These object models can beused to construct and refine standards relating to healt careinformation and its management. Since the RADT objectmodel underpins the design and implementation of specificsystems, it provides the framework for establishing the sys-tematics of

33、 managing observations made during health care.The observations recorded during health care not only becomethe basis for managing an individuals health care by practi-tioners but are also used for research and resource manage-ment. They define the common language for abstracting andcodifying observa

34、tions. The inconsistency and incompletenessof the data recorded in paper records is well known and hasbeen noted by the Institute of Medicines study (4). The abilityto build the recommended EHR begins with RADT, as noted inPractice E 1239. A more detailed specification of the RADTprocess and its spe

35、cific functional domain shall begin with aformal model. Furthermore, following agreement on the initialmodel, that model shall evolve as knowledge accumulates andthe initial view of the healthcare domain extends to other socialand psychologic processes that link healthcare with otherfunctional domai

36、ns of society. The management of lifelongcases of care, such as those of birth defects in newborns, willinvolve interactions with social work and educational func-tional domains of experience. It has been recognized for some7The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the

The RADTmodel is the core to

38、linking these functional domains togetherin a transparent way. For that reason, the object terminology isused to enable the most global view and vernacular that willfacilitate communication among technical specialties that par-ticipate in managing some aspect of health care or that buildsystems to m

39、anage the required information.5.2 Common Terminology as a Basis for EducationTheuse of models and their associated terminology implies thateducation of the healthcare practitioners shall incorporate thisview to a significant extent. While a detailed specification ofsystems requires extensive lexico

40、ns of carefully defined terms,a more understandable terminology shall evolve for the processof educating practitioners during their formal education as wellas continuing to educate current practioners concerning howthis new technology can be integrated with their existingpractices. This challenge ha

41、s yet to be met, but the objects andmodeling concepts presented here are intended to be namedwith the most intuitive titles in order to promote clear under-standing during their use in instruction. Nevertheless, relatingthese objects and their properties to everyday practice remainsa significant cha

42、llenge, for both the implementors of systemsand educators. The perspectives cataloged here can be used inthe creation of system documentation and curricula representedin a variety of media.6. Graphic Representation6.1 The graphic representation in Figs. 1-4 of the relation-ships among the objects de

43、picts the static inheritance propertiesof the constituent objects. These properties and others, such asdefinitions, are given in tabular form in Section 7. Graphicdepiction provides a more comprehensive overview of theglobal structure of this functional domain, thus enabling thereader to appreciate

44、all of the parts of the model at a glance.This depiction also aids the reader when probing the specificattributes and other properties of the objects given in thetabular section. There are five object groups/subject areas (2),or subaggregates of objects with certain common characteris-tics. These re

45、lationships are more easily understood graphi-cally. The notation is from Coad and Yourdon (2). Two mainconcepts are involved. The first, represented by separate linesand arrowheads, is the “is a component of” relationship, whichimplies the parts of a whole. The second concept, representedby a branc

46、hing tree, is the “is a special case of” relationship,which implies encapsulation of the special attributes thatdifferentiate the individual characteristics of a more generalobject. The combination of these two relationships permits allof the complexities in the static interrelationships of theconst

47、ituent objects comprising the RADT model to be repre-sented. Instance connections are a weaker form of relationshipthat have not been included in the basic framework for thismodel. Instance connections show references to master systemtables of context-insensitive entities. These same terms appearin

48、the tabular representation. The sequential application ofthese relationships, visually from the top down in Figs. 1-4,depict the inheritance properties since the objects later in thesequence of the relationships inherit the attributes from thoseearlier in the sequence. These concepts are all explain

49、ed byCoad and Yourdon (2).7. Tabular Representation7.1 Tables 1 and 2 and Annex A1 provide the detailedattributes of the objects and should be compared with Table 1of Practice E 1239 and Annex A1 of Practice E 1384, whichshow the integrated logical structure of the computer-basedprimary record of care. The latest revision of Practice E 1384associates each data element with an index that uniquelyidentifies its segment location in Annex A1 and provides adefinition and references its representation. Certain data ele-ments with coded values have their value sets, which are
