Considering the importance of the patient's medical information for the caregivers to ensure that patients receive appropriate and safe treatment, especially the emergency room (ER) patients, thus, sharing distributed medical information among healthcare institutions is essential. On the other hand, these institutions suffer from communication gap and the heterogeneity of their medical records. Therefore, a fast and accurate way for sharing medical information is required. This paper proposes MREx, an ontology mapping system in the Medical informatics, which enables healthcare institutions, with electronic medical records, to share real-time medical information on demand, in time, at the point of care and without replacing the existing Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems. MREx function with no data centralization, in a complete distributed heterogeneous environment, and without having to replace existing EMRs. The system shall allow caregivers to serve all ER patients, provide staff with real-time information to make critical decisions and serve researches to collect data among all healthcare institutions.
