Objectives and Background
The primary aim was to evaluate the feasibility and time of adopting open-source software frameworks for creating electronic registries providing access via several Application Programming Interfaces (API). The proposed approach also aimed to contribute to the open-source movement on health data interoperability and improve the process of medical records management. The specific project objectives were: • migrate existing registry of drugs available as .xml source file into a new admin control panel • develop coding algorithm and attach a unique identifier to each drug in the register • harmonise “drug forms” and “package types” in accordance with IDMP, SPOR and EDQM standardisation methodologies.[1-3]
