ON DESIGNING AN EHCR REPOSITORY

In an ongoing project, a pilot study and implementation of repository design for electronic home care records (EHCR) is described. Electronic home care record is based on the idea of electronic health record, however it also satisfies additional information and functionality requirements specific for home care. The design is based on the home care data and service model (K4Care model). First we analyzed the problem and decided about the platform, storage technology, cooperation with other parts of the system being developed, and basic structure of the EHCR. Then we focused on the design of data storage and transformation of the K4Care model into a database structure. Finally cooperation between the database and multiagent system is proposed.
