GELLO - GLIF - TEMPLATES - vMR Overview

GELLO is an object oriented, declarative decision support language. It is a HL7 standard. Revision 2 has been ballotted successfully and ANSI approved. Medical Objects continues to lead the development of this standard. GELLO is closely related to Object Constraint language (OCL). As a constraint language, GELLO can capture or query data from a virtual medical record (vMR). Medical Objects uses a HL7 v.3 vMR with Patient, Medication and Allergies classes. We also use GELLO to query ISO:13606 archetypes (which in turn are 'gello-ised"). GELLO accesses the archetyped data as v.3 artefacts. GELLO can query and process a concept model such as SNOMED-CT. Methods exist for SNOMED CT concept creation ( as a Coded Value type), post coordinated expression validation and subsumption through an implies method.

GLIF is another standard for interchangeable electronic guidelines.

CEN:13606 part 2 is an international Electronic Health record (EHR) extract standard and soon to be an ISO standard. It employs archetypes which in turn may be combined as Templates.

The virtual medical record (vMR) is a HL7 project. It specifies an abstraction of existing EHR information structures, for the purposes of clinical decision support.It is platform independent in its implementation, dynamic, and Gello class based. It is a representation of the HL7 Reference information Model (RIM), but not an EHR.
