  • Publication number: 20020128861
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for mapping clinical data including insurance data and pharmaceutical data with a health data dictionary. The health data dictionary provides a vocabulary that identifies insurance companies and pharmaceutical compounds including drugs in a normalized and standard form. The clinical data generated at a legacy system is compared with standard clinical data stored in the health data dictionary. Based on this comparison a partial or exact match is identified for the clinical data. After a match is selected, the normalized clinical data can be stored in a data repository. For unmatched clinical data, new concepts can be created and added to the health data dictionary for future use.

  • Publication number: 20020128862
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing physical location data and representation data in a health data dictionary. Clinical data is represented in a health data dictionary using a vocabulary that includes concepts and representations. Each concept is a unique item or idea and each concept can be associated with multiple representations. The default representations are difficult to use because most legacy systems are already accustomed to other terms or identifiers. The present invention allows the representations in the health data dictionary to be changed, altered, or modified according to the desires, of the legacy systems. The representation to be changed is identified by the legacy system and changed in accordance with instructions received from the legacy systems. The instructions may be to update, change, add, delete or otherwise modify a representation. The location manager is used to modify physical location data including representations, contexts, and concepts.
