The MED-AUDIT Ontology Version 1: an ontology for auditing the accessibility of medical devices

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2007 Oct 11:1049.

Abstract

The MED-AUDIT tool uses an electronic questionnaire designed to assess and quantify the accessibility of medical devices. We created the MED-AUDIT ontology to facilitate the auditing of medical devices by applying standard thesaurus construction techniques to concepts and vocabulary extracted from the questionnaire. A key feature of this ontology is that it links concepts between the MED-AUDIT and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
