An XML-based integration method for different types of patient data in cardiology.
Clinical data consist of a wide variety of information. Database software that covers all types of clinical data is ideal. Patient data in cardiology were converted into an XML-format by tags that cardiologist selected. The structure of the database was comprehensible to the cardiologists. The arbitrary queries to the database from the end-users were captured with a resultant high satisfaction.
