Representing Traditional East Asian Medicine in International Health Informatics Standards: A Scoping Review

Seunggyeong Lee, Yeonju Woo, Soo-Jin Lee

Short summary

A scoping review of 10 studies (2017-2026) found Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) concepts are primarily represented through terminology mapping (SNOMED CT, UMLS, MeSH), with limited use of data models (OMOP CDM) and no exchange standards (HL7 FHIR). Representability varies, with acupuncture points mapping well, but symptoms, disorders, and herbal medicines requiring extensions or decomposition, leading to recurring gaps.
