2. The Problem

Medical device semantic interoperability is one of the primary IHE PCD mission objectives; however, achieving true interoperability requires leveraging many different informatics constructs and standards to develop both abstract semantic profiles, as well as the profiles that convey and record acquired medical device data. Understanding the relationship between the various abstract semantic components and how they can be combined to represent device data has historically proven difficult for many implementors. Navigating the maze of terminology, nomenclature, information models, templates, clusters, ... too often results in frustration and despair!

This white paper will provide an overview of the various issues around medical device semantic interoperability, and propose a semantic architecture that will clearly define the needed components and how they may be combined to represent IHE PCD content. Also, a roadmap will be detailed for how the IHE PCD and related standards organizations might address the missing components.

3. Key Use Case

<semantic interoperability from a clinical PoC device to a dashboard system>

<Semantic interoperabiltiy from a PoC device to an EHR to a document example>

<BP cluster example>

<terminology research use case example>

<terminology authoring example>
