Abstract

Health informatics as a young, interdisciplinary discipline lacks a unified terminology in some areas. This is especially true when trying to properly describe health informatics interventions developed and deployed to improve quality and efficiency of patient care. We aim at developing a health IT ontology which allows systematically describing health IT interventions. To achieve this, we combine a deductive and an inductive approach. First results are promising and may later be extended by a folksonomy.
