  • Title: Application of a standard methodology for the development of messages and aspects of realization in the area of tumour documentation.
    Author: Altmann U, Haeberlin V, Tafazzoli A, Dudeck J.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 1997; 43 Pt B():776-80. PubMed ID: 10179773.
    Abstract:
    The "Methodology for the Development of Health Care Messages" was published in 1995 by CEN TC251. This contribution describes the application of the methodology in a project of developing messages for the exchange of tumour patient data. A standard data set, the "Basisdokumentation für Tumorkranke" was already available for the data of tumour documentation. The development of the messages as well as the design and implementation of a communication interface in a documentation system could therefore be carried out straight forward. Problems arise due to the import of data from different sources. Up to now, there is no standardized method for identifying patients and numbering of different tumours. An automated matching of new data to a specific patient or tumour is therefore not always possible. Methods are presented which try to make a compromise between fully automatic data import and complete user control.
