SGML and XML as interchange formats for HL7 messages.
Dolin, R. H., Rishel, W., Biron, P. V., Spinosa, J., Mattison, J. E.
OBJECTIVE: To report on the use of SGML and XML (a proper subset of SGML) as transfer syntaxes for HL7 Version 2.3 and Version 3.0 messages. METHODS: The methodology has focused largely on two...
Computer-facilitated collaboration: experiences building SNOMED-RT.
Levy, D. H., Dolin, R. H., Mattison, J. E., Spackman, K. A., Campbell, K. E.
Collaborative development involving both individuals and groups is often less efficient than independent development because of communication overhead and integration costs. Despite the decreased...

The HL7 SGML/XML Special Interest Group is developing the HL7 Document Patient Record Architecture. This draft proposal strives to create a common data architecture for the interoperability of...
Lukoff, J. Y., Dolin, R. H., McKinley, C. S., Fuller, L. M., Biron, P. V.
OBJECTIVES: To validate the ease by which a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) can be web-enabled using an XML-based semi-automated process. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION: An XML DTD for Clinical Practice...
Expressiveness and query complexity in an electronic health record data model.
OBJECTIVE: Describe a high-level conceptual electronic health record (EHR) data model, explain how the model is expressive, present an algorithm for querying the model and determine the complexity of...
SGML as a message interchange format in healthcare.
Dolin, R. H., Alschuler, L., Bray, T., Mattison, J. E.
INTRODUCTION: In 1993, The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) studied several syntaxes for interchange formats in healthcare, but excluded SGML due to resource constraints. We sought to...
The SNOMED RT Procedure Model.
Dolin, R. H., Spackman, K., Abilla, A., Correia, C., Goldberg, B., Konicek, D., ...
BACKGROUND: SNOMED RT represents a fundamental change from prior versions of SNOMED. The logic-based structure of SNOMED RT enables concepts to be defined more explicitly, providing an opportunity to...
An update on HL7's XML-based document representation standards.
Dolin, R. H., Alschuler, L., Boyer, S., Beebe, C.
Many people know of HL7 as an organization that creates healthcare messaging standards. But HL7 is also developing standards for the representation of clinical documents (such as discharge summaries...
A high-level object-oriented model for representing relationships in an electronic medical record.
The importance of electronic medical records to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of medical care continues to be realized. This growing importance has spawned efforts at defining the...
