Medicine:DOCLE
From HandWiki
DOCLE (Doctor Command Language),[1][2] is a non-numeric health coding and medical classification system. The DOCLE system is used[3] in Health Communication Network's electronic medical record and patient management software package, Medical Director. Medical Director is the most widely used electronic medical record system by Australian primary health care providers.[citation needed]
DOCLE has been modelled on the Linnaean biological classification system since 1995.[4] DOCLE generates clinical codes from ubiquitous health language using an algorithm, hence it is a human readable clinical coding system.[4]
The design principles of DOCLE, as enumerated by the author in the DOCLE website include:
- DOCLE codes being meaningful and intentional
- DOCLE codes are derived from ubiquitous health language
- DOCLE codes grew with evolving order and speciation of large scale structures in a linnean manner.
- DOCLE codes are designed to strap together and form clinical structures using joiner codes
- The author of DOCLE, Dr. Y Kuang Oon, has likened clinical codes to "neurons" and joiner codes as the "glia"
