碩士 === 國立陽明大學 === 生物醫學資訊研究所 === 97 === The issue of continuity care is getting more and more important, especially because of the development of medical exchanging standards. The expectation of the PHR standards are to combined with the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), the project “Template of Medical Record Taiwan” developed in 2006 is one of the EMR standards followed the CDA standard; “Continuity of Care Record” (CCR) is one of the PHR standard that also is the most vendors supported standard. These standards exist the similarity in structure and content categories. 1. The same XML file format and 2. the similar structured hierarchies made this study had the opportunity to test the possibility of standards transformation by designing a transformer from TMT to CCR. The contents of these two formats were analysis first, the TMT was chosen as the source data; the CCR was the template, then these two were merged by the manual entry mapping, form formatting and interface design in JAVA. The outcome of the translation is significant high in the 107 analogue cases, for the character of CCR format acceptable the Google Health is regarded as the examining viewer of the translated result. On the language limitation this tool may not popularized, however the result encourages mapping more TMT sheets and entries, and by the convenience and ubiquity of web-based health management as ”Google Health” that may influence the user’s will accepting the idea of self-health management (Ball et al., 2007; Lohr, 2007; Mayer, 2008; Pilot, 2009), the more optimistic expectation this design not only can provide benefit to users but also as a sample to those countries which have the local EMR standard developed.
