Introduction:
Progressive health paradigms, involving
many different disciplines and combining multiple policy
domains, requires advanced interoperability solutions. This results in special challenges for modeling health systems.
Methods:
The paper discusses classification systems
for data models and enterprise business architectures and
compares them with the ISO Reference Architecture.
Results and Conclusions:
Existing definitions, specifications
and standards for data models enabling interoperability
are analyzed, and their limitations are evaluated.
Amendments to correctly use those models and to better
meet the aforementioned challenges are offered.
