Abstract: Nowadays, having an electronic health record properly adopted by medical bodies is no longer a challenge. In fact, the critical issue for health practitioners is related to the exchange of health data between different institutes. While some existing standards provide interoperability for e-health systems, they still not offer a coherent solution that can be integrated and used easily. In this author, the paper present OpenEHR, a consistent health standard based on the dual-level scheme, which separates the reference model from the archetypes, allowing a flexible modeling of clinical concepts. However, getting into OpenEHR implementation can be very complex. The purpose of this article is to simplify the integration of OpenEHR, by introducing a stepwise methodology of the migration from legacy SQL-based EHR to an interoperable OpenEHR based NoSQL oriented document model. Successful consolidation was achieved through the deployment of metadata and mapping rules in Java environment project, which allowed a practical automation of the interoperability integration process.
