RIM (Reference Information Model)

The Reference Information Model (RIM) is a framework used primarily in healthcare to standardize data management and exchange. It provides a structured way to organize and represent clinical information, ensuring consistency and interoperability among different health systems. By establishing common definitions and relationships between data elements, RIM helps in creating a shared understanding among stakeholders, such as healthcare providers and software developers. This ultimately facilitates better data sharing, improves patient care, and enhances communication within the healthcare ecosystem.
