Integrating the ECG enterprise-HES-EKG with the built-in vital signs information nomenclature

Interchange of ECG information among different application areas is not possible with just one interchange standard. Bridging between different existing standards maybe possible by using the nomenclature of the vital signs information representation standard (VSIR) as "repository" for the semantic information content and developing application specific interchange format standards. This approach is demonstrated by implementing the VSIR nomenclature into HESEKG.
