A DATA MANAGER for the health information system Berlin.

The needs for permanently changing the logical and physical structure of a medical datebase during the development of a health information system have initiated the project of implementing a DATA MANAGER. The concept of the DATA MANAGER covers facilities for the development of the logical data structure model including documentation of the model and programming support for application programs accessing the health information system (HIS) database. The outstanding facilities of the INTERLISP system have been found to be appropriate for writing the DATA MANAGER. A first data structure model, on which the DATA MANAGER will operate, is roughly outlined.

A data structure model for a health information system.

The Ministry of Health and Environmental Control of Berlin is developing a Health Information System (HIS) on the basis of a multi-satellite network system, comprising a central, regional, local and functional unit level. The main part of this paper describes the conceptual structure of the Common Data Base (CDB) of HIS with special regard to the patient-oriented medical information originating from the various institutions of the health care system. This structure comprises the following five levels: 1. PATIENT 2. PROBLEM 3. CASE 4. EVENT 5. ACT Each of the levels represents a node in the structure model. A node is an entity with a set of "local properties" being specified for each level, referring to selected data on inferior levels. The structures of these five levels are described in detail. In the last part, so-called "data-manipulation procedures" are treated. These are descriptions covering any data manipulation and represent the basis of data integrity through system controlled transaction with the data base.
