One of the most challenging problems in the healthcare domain is providing interoperability among healthcare information systems. In order to address this problem, we propose the semantic mediation of exchanged messages. Given that most of the messages exchanged in the healthcare domain are in EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) or XML format, we describe how to transform these messages into OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontology instances. The OWL message instances are then mediated through an ontology mapping tool that we developed, namely, OWLmt. OWLmt; uses OWL-QL engine which enables the mapping tool to reason over the source ontology instances while generating the target ontology instances according to the mapping patterns defined through a GUI.

Evaluation Of A Hospital Information System In An International Context: Towards Implementing Pb-Ism In Turkey
Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Baykal, Nazife (WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ USA, 2006-12)
High quality information technology (IT) support is an integral factor in the success of today's health sector. However, the medical profession is considered to be low level investors in IT when compared to other sectors. Many international comparisons look at the expenditure spent on health IT as a basis for determining how effective the systems are. This prescriptive mainly cost/benefit approach is believed to be deficient as a sole factor in evaluation procedures. The research in this study supports the ...
Design and implementation of semantically enriched web services in the healthcare domain
Altıntakan, Ümit Lütfü; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2004)
Healthcare Informatics suffers from the lack of information exchange among domain partners. Allowing cooperation among distributed and heterogeneous applications is a major need of current healthcare information systems. Beyond the communication and integration problems, medical information itself is by nature complex, combined with data and knowledge. The increasing number of standards and representation of the same data in different structures using these standards constitute another problem in the domain...
An agent-based alert distribution system for intelligent healthcare monitoring
Akçay, Buğrahan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
With the high-level developments in the information technologies, there is a big movement in the e-health area both to give better healthcare services and to reduce cost. Monitoring the patients from their home location is one of the important branches of e-health with the aging societies. In this work, an agentbased alert system is introduced which analyzes the alert message requests and sends the alert messages within the appropriate structure and communication channel to the related healthcare user. A gu...
A Systematic Literature Review on Health Recommender Systems
Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-11-23)
Health Information Systems are becoming an important platform for healthcare services. In this context, Health Recommender Systems (HRS) are presented as complementary tools in decision making processes in health care services. Health Recommender Systems increase usability of technologies and reduce information overload in processes. In this paper, a literature review was conducted by following a review procedure. Major approaches in HRS were outlined and findings were discussed. The paper presented current...
Plural: A decentralized business process modeling method
Turetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01)
Top-down and centralized approaches prevail in the design and improvement of business processes. However, centralized structures pose difficulties for organizations in adapting to a rapidly changing business environment. Here we present the Plural method which can be used to guide organizations in performing process modeling in a decentralized way. Instead of a centralized group of people understanding, modeling and improving processes, our method allows individuals to model and improve their own processes ...
