Data Silo
A data silo is a group of raw data that is accessible by one department but isolated from the rest of that organization. This results in a severe lack of transparency, efficiency, and trust within that organization.
MetaData
data describing other data. for example, Metadata of a book is the Author, published date and page count
Data Repository
is a large database infrastructure — several databases — that collect, manage, and store data sets for data analysis, sharing and reporting.
Standard
is a set of specifications for hardware or software, agreed upon by academic and industry contributors.
ETL Tool:
An ETL tool is used to execute an integration project, and it includes three steps: Extraction, Transformation, and Loading. Thus, an ETL tool extracts data from disparate sources, transforms it to make it compatible with the destination system, and then loads it into the destination system.
CRUD
acronym for Create, Read, Update, Delete functions
EMPI
Enterprise Master Patient Index - An EMPI is an enterprise-wide solution that enables healthcare organizations to uniquely match records across disparate systems into a single, longitudinal view of patients for real-time data exchange, enhanced clinical decision-making and care collaboration.
US Core
implementation guide that defines the minimum conformance requirements for accessing patient data.
ElasticSearch
Elasticsearch is a highly scalable open-source full-text search and analytics engine. It allows you to store, search, and analyze big volumes of data quickly and in near real time. It is generally used as the underlying engine/technology that powers applications that have complex search features and requirements.
OWASP
the Open Web Application Security Project is an open project that focuses on Web Application vulnerabilities and everything related to them. They have testing guides, tools, references, explanations, how to mitigate them
CVE
CVE is the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, which is a system that allows everyone to keep track of publicly known vulnerabilities
EOB
An explanation of benefits is a statement sent by a health insurance company to covered individuals explaining what medical treatments and/or services were paid for on their behalf. The EOB is commonly attached to a check or statement of electronic payment.
Partitioned server
A partition is a logical division of a hard disk that is treated as a separate unit by operating systems (OSes) and file systems. The OSes and file systems can manage information on each partition as if it were a distinct hard drive. This allows the drive to operate as several smaller sections to improve efficiency
YAML File
YAML is a human-readable data-serialization language. It is commonly used for configuration files and in applications where data is being stored or transmitted.
FHIR Gateway
module that allows someone to access data from multiple FHIR servers as if they were one server, and aggregate that data in their client.
CDS / CDS Hooks
CDS Hooks is an open source specification focused on user-facing remote clinical decision support. CDS Hooks can use FHIR to represent patient information and recommendations, but is architecturally an independent specification. - gives recommendation to clinician about the next step in their workflow with the patient, depending on what data they’ve processed through the EHR so far in the interaction
Mongo DB
MongoDB is a document-oriented database which stores data in JSON-like documents with dynamic schema. It means you can store your records without worrying about the data structure such as the number of fields or types of fields to store values.
FHIRPath
FHIRPath is a specification that describes how to identify (and potentially extract) data from a resource using a path based syntax
SQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. A query language is a kind of programming language that’s designed to facilitate retrieving specific information from databases, and that’s exactly what SQL does. To put it simply, SQL is the language of databases.
changelogs
A changelog is a log or record of all notable changes made to a project. The project is often a website or software project, and the changelog usually includes records of changes such as bug fixes, new features, etc. Some open-source projects include a changelog as one of the top-level files in their distribution.
IDN
Integrated delivery network - is a network of healthcare providers and facilities within a specific geographic region that offers a full range of healthcare services
reference implementation
In the software development process, a reference implementation is a program that implements all requirements from a corresponding specification. The reference implementation often accompanies a technical standard, and demonstrates what should be considered the “correct” behavior of any other implementation of it.
XML
a language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that it both human readable and machine readable
CMS
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services
EMPI
Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI):
An EMPI is an enterprise-wide solution that enables healthcare organizations to uniquely match records across disparate systems into a single, longitudinal view of patients for real-time data exchange, enhanced clinical decision-making and care collaboration.
CDA
CDA - Clinical Document Architecture - similar to a PDF for medical records
REST
Representational State Transfer
API
An application programming interface is a computing interface that defines interactions between multiple software or mixed hardware-software intermediaries. It defines the kinds of calls or requests that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc
