Notes

The Brazilian National Health Card project is an ongoing project sponsored by the Brazilian Ministry of Health aiming at creating an infrastructure for capturing encounter information at the point of care and allowing for the construction of the national repository of clinical data. The system behind the health card stores clinical events and has a multi-level architecture (local, regional, state and federal). The system is in its pilot phase in 44 municipalities, and aims to hold information of fourteen million patients, as part of the pilot-project. In order to explore the knowledge base created for the Brazilian National Health Card System and provide additional semantics to the data handled by it, we propose a DAML+OIL ontology for that Project. This ontology can be used not only to answer complex queries but also to help healthcare providers with legacy systems to transform their data into the Ministry of Health’s format.
