  Abstract

The LEX system is a XML-based framework for medical information consolidation. The Lex makes it possible for heterogeneous HISs (Hospital Information Systems) exchange and share HL7 messages by storing the messages into a single Central Clinical Database. In this paper, we propose a HL7 message server independently interoperable from existing HIS to generate HL7 messages, and design an XML database schema suitable for storing and manipulating such data. We also propose a new DTD for efficient transformation of HL7 messages to XML documents for storage saving as well as supporting patient-oriented information retrieval.
