CCR+: Metadata Based Extended Personal Health Record Data Model Interoperable with the ASTM CCR Standard.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Extension of the standard model while retaining compliance with it is a challenging issue because there is currently no method for semantically or syntactically verifying an extended data model. A metadata-based extended model, named CCR+, was designed and implemented to achieve interoperability between standard and extended models.

Methods

Furthermore, a multilayered validation method was devised to validate the standard and extended models. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Community Care Record (CCR) standard was selected to evaluate the CCR+ model; two CCR and one CCR+ XML files were evaluated.

Results

In total, 188 metadata were extracted from the ASTM CCR standard; these metadata are semantically interconnected and registered in th
