What are Some Key Interoperable Data Standards in Cancer?
Several data standards are widely used in cancer research and care:
1. HL7 (Health Level Seven): This standard focuses on the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information. 2. FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources): Developed by HL7, FHIR is designed to enable the exchange of healthcare information electronically, making it easier to share patient data across different systems. 3. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine): This standard is used for handling, storing, printing, and transmitting medical imaging information. 4. OMOP (Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership): This common data model is used to standardize the format and content of observational healthcare data.
