The user can search for documents via metadata, use predefined queries, or search for specific information items. The search yields a list of documents and/or individual values.
The aim of the document crawler is to find relevant information in EHR documents based on a query and return the relevant information in a structured way.

Recently the development of the EHR system ZK-ARCHE was completed, which serves as the data source within EHR-ARCHE’s IHE XDS environment. Its purpose is to support the fast and convenient creation of archetyped EHR extracts, as well as their provision to the XDS-repository and registration within the XDS-registry.
Using an approach which adapts an iterative software development model to the archetype domain, we developed 128 ISO/EN 13606 archetypes. They represent 446 clinical information items which were collected in an analysis of the information needs of physicians when treating diabetes patients. The archetypes were created using the linkEHR archetype editor and translated to German and English. The composition of archetypes (350 times) using the ADL slot mechanism and specialization of archetypes (40 times) were intensively employed. [continue reading →]
