Abstract

The aim of this article is to create a unique medical record structure from the metabase of any medical record. The work proposes the design of transformation algorithms which consists in translating the legacy relational database (RDB) into a unique medical record structure by analysing the correlation between the legacy RDB keys and the classification of the relations into four types : base relation, dependent relation, inheritance relation and composite relation.
