MEDICAL INFORMATION TRANSLATION SYSTEM

摘要

Medical information is communicated between different entities. Personalized models of peoples' understanding of a medical field are created. Role information is used to create the personalized model. More information than mere role may be used for at least one of the personalized models, such as information on past medical history. The personalized models link to various subsets of base medical ontologies for one or more medical subjects. The concepts and relationships in these ontologies formed by the linking may be matched, providing a translation from one personalized model to another. The terminology with similar or the same concepts and/or relationships is output for a given user based on their model.

主权项

1. A system for communicating medical information between different entities, the system comprising:
a healthcare network of a medical facility; a healthcare database connected with the healthcare network, the healthcare database configured to store roles for different users and different base models of ontologies for respective roles; a first computer connected with the healthcare network, the first computer configured to receive input first information from a first user having a first one of the roles; and a second computer connected with the healthcare network, the second computer configured to output second information to a second user having a second one of the roles, the second role different than the first role; wherein the first computer, the second computer, or another computer translates the first information to the second information using first and second based models of the ontologies for the first and second roles, an input expression of the first information input from the first user being different than an output expression of the second information output to the second user, but the expressions communicating a same concept.
