Background: Exchanging data among Healthcare systems unambiguously is essential for the improvement of patient care and it requires mapping healthcare standards [1]. This research focuses on semantic interoperability between OpenEHR and FHIR open standards by exploring how it can be achieved. The main goal is to map the Archetypes with Resources that have the same semantics without using automatic tools that give results that may have different meaning [2].

Methods: Each archetype of the oncology has been identified in CKM of OpenEHR and the main elements that define its meaning are analyzed. From the other side in the FHIR specification the correspondent resource element is identified manually. The results are displayed in a mapping table.

Results: A mapping table that shows the archetype elements that are mapped to resource elements but also the archetypes that can not be mapped when the resource elements will not be able to be identified.

Possible solutions that can be followed in the cases where same elements can not be identified in FHIR [3].

For the objective of comparing the results from manual mapping to the automatic one an analysis of the results on both cases will be provided where the main differences between the results obtained will be discussed.

Conclusion: ·One archetype element can not be associated to many resource elements, but on the contrary one resource element can be mapped to multiple archetype elements.

• Different elements of one single archetype can be mapped to multiple resources because a single FHIR resource does not cover all the information that a single archetype contains.
• There are resources that overlap with each other and the boundaries are not strict in FHIR.
