HOW TO USE THE SPECIFICATION
  The ANSI/ADA 1000 Specification provides a blueprint that can be used to build clinical databases, data repositories and other transactional and analytical data components. 

ANSI/ADA 1000 USERS GROUP

 

 

  

This Specification only applies to the data layer of system design:  it does not affect the design or implementation of the presentation layer, data communications or messaging.  Depending on system design, it may have an impact on the architecture of the application layer.  At the application layer it provides an essential structural component for the creation of translation rules used by engines that build and decode messages, or mappers that translate object persistence into relational database structures.

In the physical system, illustrated to the right, the Specification applies to the data tier and the application-database server interface, and may apply to the lower portion of the application tier.  It provides a starting point from which the data structures in the database are derived.

Beyond the transactional system illustrated, the Specification may be used to create:

  • clinical data repositories,
  • the data component of electronic health records systems, and
  • analytical solutions such as clinical intelligence using clinical data warehouses, data marts, etc.

The Specification also provides data structures that can readily link to resource management and financial databases.
