| Abstract |
A hospital room has multiple patient monitoring devices at the bedside to monitor his or her status. However, vital sign monitors, ventilator and other bedside devices are made by a variety of different manufacturers and often cannot easily interface to the hospital information system. Medical environments incorporate complex and integrated data networks to transfer vast amounts of patient information, such as images, waveforms, and other forms of digital data. Hence, to assure interoperability of images, waveforms and patient data, Health Level Seven (HL7) was developed as an international standard to facilitate the communicating and storing of medical data. In this study, we developed middleware capable of receiving data from mCare 300 vital signs monitoring devices and converting the data to HL7 data format. The HL 7 middleware streamline clinical workflow and support patients. Therefore, clinical expertise are empowered to respond to dynamic healthcare situation as soon as they emerged, and consequently quality of care while helping to reduce the length of a patient's stay in a hospital. |
