This paper sums up the last stage of the project called ”Harmonization of Clinical Content in Electronic Health Record (EHR)”, which is being solved as author’s PhD project. The aim of this project was the clinical content modeling of EHR and transportation of medical data via communication standards (HL7 v3 and CEN EN 13606). An experiment was conducted where archetypes and openEHR templates were used to send patient’s information to another EHR-S. The results were compared to the previous solution based on HL7 v3 messages, which was described at the PhD Conference ’09. At the end of the paper the author discusses contemporary semantics description of real clinical data by means of ICD-10 code-list, which covers the qualitative point of view quite well. However, the quantitative view on semantics of clinical data is much more difficult and the inevitability of medical ontologies usage is emphasized.
