Overview

• Integrating electronic patient records.
• Interested parties.
• Data integration challenges.
• Successes in biological data modeling.
• Group details.

Current HCLS Activity

• BioRDF — model and query biological processes
• COI (Clinical Observations Interoperability) — use cases for common clinical data model

Electronic Patient Records Integration.

Requires shared terms:

• Alice measures BP.
• Bob measures supine BP.
• Eve measures left arm BP with a cuff.

Study Data Tabulation Model (STDM)

What is a BP?

• systolic, diastolic
• units
• extensible context

Reuse Issues

• BPs are not exactly the same
• BPs are close enough for many purposes.
• Queries with provenance control are one solution.

Challenges

• Social
  • Patient Privacy
  • Buy-in
• Technical
  • Data Unification
  • Modelling

Technical Challenges

• Data Unification
  • HCLS BioRDF Development
