Inspection data processing has been an extremely important part of the hospital one. With the ever-changing information technology, test data storage and transmission has entered the era of
information technology. With the hospital's LIS (Libratory Information system) system more complete, the hospital electronic increasingly accelerated pace, as yet, for most of the hospital or testing center have reached the electronic targets. .
Under the existing framework, the hospital reported to health insurance, have their own set up their own hospitals and health care use of hospital codes corresponding code list. However, many hospitals use when making inspection of the hospital to formulate their own code system to be tested. Zhezhong way in its
implementation while not improper, but the process when the data Xuyaojinxing Jiaohuan a directory of different encoding standards among hospitals in addition to causing Ziliao communication of 困难, this makes the clinical diagnosis and hospital test results Bi pairs create enormous difficulties, which are a waste of the whole situation in many human and material resources.
View of domestic conditions, health insurance IC card has been formally implemented, however, the exchange of test data lines are still in the hospital under the state of its affairs. How to structure an exchange mechanism so that the test information among hospitals to establish a standard, then the information can be exchanged, it became one of the most important issues.
The purpose of this study, is not to construct an alternative to the current existing RELMA foreign system, but in building a suitable domestic medical institutions and test centers to use the conversion platform to health care facilities can remain in their more familiar environment to test code conversion work. Construction of the new system because it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, thus able to directly use the existing codes into LOINC test code as a standard, would be the better choice. View of the current domestic situation, in order to make the domestic inter-hospital transfer of information to each other to construct a standard conversion
program is also imperative to work. If LOINC through international standards to be converted, through the hospital compound code and corresponding LOINC codes to construct a Web-based online
secondary conversion system, medical institutions and through the use of test center personnel and information accumulated finished to provide the hospital compound is converted to LOINC code code standards table, while collecting hospital hospital code, health care codes and LOINC codes of words commonly used to facilitate the inspectors check to make inquiry. Records of completed conversion table, not only as a domestic information exchange used in hospitals, even with foreign hospitals as a benchmark for encoding conversion.
To the hospital through the exchange of test code to reach a different test system can communicate with each other, exchange and analysis purposes, thereby enabling health care to achieve cost savings objectives.
