HL7 BASED MESSAGE STRUCTURE FOR INTERPERABILITY OF DATA FROM IEEE 1451 BASED BIOMEDICAL SENSORS, TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: An HL7 based message structure for connection with an IEEE 1451 based biometric sensor, a message transmitting method and a system device thereof are provided to process the HL7 message in a hospital system by including bio-information and an item attribute value of a sensor node in the HL7 message. CONSTITUTION: An MSH(Message Header) segment, a PID(Patient Identity) segment, an OBR(Observation Request) segment and an OBX(Observation result) segment form an HL7(Health Level 7) message. The OBX(Observation result) segment includes 19 fields defined in an HL7 property table, a sensor value measured in a sensor node and 13 fields expressing an item attribute value of a sensor node. Therefore, a heterogeneous system of other data formats can exchange information.
