Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The heterogeneous data structures in various kinds of medical instruments and lack of unified exchange standard which seriously hamper the data sharing of medical instruments.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and superiority of Health Level Seven (HL7) based communications between various medical instruments and medical information systems as HL7 is applied in this study as the exchange standard of information interaction on electrocardiograph.
METHODS: HL7 electrocardiograph was used as the interaction standard of electrocardiograph to analyze and compare the current data exchange standards. Net compact framework and extensible Markup Language core techniques were applied in WINCE embedded platform with message engine, and realized the electrocardiographic standard communication protocol for computer-assisted electrocardiography explanation and HL7 information encoding and verified its effectiveness. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The encoded data of electrocardiograph was successfully converted to the HL7 electrocardiograph format and displayed correctly, which has been validated by using the HL7 schema validity. The feasibility of HL7-based research of electrocardiograph information has been confirmed. The realization method is featured by practicability, expandability and universality.
