ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a conceptual framework for the synopsis of information of health examination reports (HERs) and its style sheet so as to provide a reference for information collection and management in health examination institutions.Methods A conceptual framework for the synopsis of information of HERs and its core data elements were developed based on HERs items from 11 health examination institutions,and a style sheet for the synopsis of information of HERs was then designed.Results The conceptual framework included 4 dimensions (e.g.identification information,health-related information,health exam summary,health evaluation and guidance),16 sub-dimensions,52 core data elements and 25 value domains.The structure and content of the designed sheet were consistent with the dimensions,subdimensions and core data elements of the conceptual framework.Conclusions The developed synopsis of information of HERs could be a feasible solution for structured and standardized representation of clients' health examination information.The selection and filling of some items should be validated and refined in the future.
