Abstract

In the Cardiology department, many different sources of clinical information are used in the daily routine. Integration of these (digital) sources into an electronic patient record is a logical step. One of the issues regarding the integration of data is the integrity of patient data: there shouldn´t be any mis-registration of patient related data such as patient ID, patient name. To achieve integrity of patient data, we have now created a method to automatically transfer patient related data from one system to the other, mostly by using industry standards for communication of these data. With the integrity of these data secured, we can now proceed with the integration of the data into one system
