Background: There are many medical knowledge bases with potential for supporting medical professionals in their decision-making during routine care, yet usage of these sources remains low. Standardized linking of Clinical Decision Support (CDS) applications and existing medical knowledge bases is not a common practice.
Objectives: Using existing eHealth standards to increase the utilization of knowledge bases and implement a prototype.
Methods: Linking an existing online knowledge base via a FHIR CodeSystem supplement to the Austrian national EHR (ELGA) terminology server and accessing these data using CDS Hooks and FHIR.
Results: We tested the approach by incorporating photosensitivity data of medications into a local copy of the Austrian terminology server. These data are directly used by a CDS Hooks compliant CDS service.
Conclusion: The Austrian Terminology Server could be an important interface to access existing knowledge bases from within EHR systems. FHIR and CDS Hooks could lead the way for a simple and open integration of CDS services into EHR systems.

We present a major update of MirGeneDB (3.0), the manually curated animal microRNA gene database. Beyond moving to a new server and the creation of a computational mirror, we have expanded the database with the addition of 33 invertebrate species, including representatives of 5 previously unsampled phyla, and 6 mammal species.

The identification of medications prescribed to patients in routinely collected health records is an important part of the identification of cohorts for surveillance and research. Preparations available for prescription can change frequently and this presents challenges to the maintenance of extensional or "flat lists" of medications, particularly in ongoing studies such as disease surveillance. The NHS publishes a Dictionary of Medicines and Devices weekly, listing almost all the medications available in the UK as an extension to the UK edition of SNOMED CT.

Article Synopsis
- Language barriers in healthcare can lead to serious issues like misdiagnosis and high medical errors, highlighting the need for effective translation methods that go beyond traditional interpreters.
- * This pilot study evaluates Translatly, a digital translation platform, to see how well it can help healthcare professionals communicate during consultations, particularly assessing its usability and acceptance in clinical settings.
- * The study involved interviews and observations in a German hospital, focusing on how the platform functions with volunteer translators, primarily medical students, offering support in multiple languages.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving interoperability in healthcare systems using Mirth Connect, an open-source communication server that facilitates data exchange and manipulation, alongside the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard.
- A new tool, FML2Mirth, was developed to automatically generate executable Mirth channels from mapping rules defined in the FHIR mapping language (FML), allowing for easy data transformation between source and target systems.
- FML2Mirth integrates a terminology server for accurate data translation and includes a built-in FHIR validator to ensure compliance with existing standards, with practical tests performed using Labordatenträger version 2.
