Background: The existence of multiple code systems and standards has highlighted the necessity for innovative solutions to bridge these discrepancies.
Objectives: This research investigates the utilisation of TermX to tackle the challenges of interoperability in radiology procedures, with a specific emphasis on angiography and X-ray modalities.
Results: The study produced a revised RadLex data model and mapping guide, designed to classify radiology services using TermX. In total, 380 concepts were required to comprehensively describe all 622 procedures examined.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of TermX in simplifying the process of mapping between code systems, thus enabling more efficient analysis, and reporting of data.

Background: Long-term care insurance (LTCI) projects were an essential components of health systems designed to support disabled people and their families. Despite LTCI has been getting more and more attention and promotion, there was a lack of qualitative study to explore the experiences of family caregivers who were directly involved in the care of disabled people enrolled in these projects. This study aimed to explore the experiences of family caregivers in the caregiving process within the context of LTCI.
