Currently, the fragmentation, complexity and interdependency of innovations in healthcare creates costly uncertainty, inefficiency and clinical risk for investors, regulators, insurers, government planners, health professionals, and care delivery organizations. Successful healthcare innovations must incorporate multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder expertise across the entire lifecycle of the innovation and the systems they interact with. Expensive journal articles, unusable Google searches, competing business interests, and siloed engineering disciplines make rational design impossibly difficult, time-consuming and expensive. Currently, no single global informational and organizational resource exists to promote convergent innovation expertise at the design stage. We propose creating a Global Health Innovation Registry, using semantic web data science tools, to promote convergence among innovators worldwide through multidiscipinary team collaborations and designs based on complementary system-lifecycle expertise. Global Health Innovation Registry

What’s YOUR burning platform? How can the Complexities possibly be aligned across so many diverse stakeholders ?!How many burning platforms can we survive, without regressing to the lowest common denominator? • Clinical Research, trials • Materials science • Nanotech engineering • Proteomics, metabolomics • Epigenetics, microbiomes • Human Factors engineering • Epidemiology • ITIL process mgt • Security, privacy • Terminology, coding, ontologies • Standards • Interoperability • Professional Body of Knowledge, Practice • Medical device design • Disaster preparedness, mgt • Health Technology Assesssment • Health technology Management • 3rd party services • Staff development • CMMS – Maintenance mgt. • Asset management • Configuration management • Change management • Telehealth, telemedicine • Electronic medical records • Reimbursement, billing • End-user training • Service management, analysis • Process engineering • Pharmaceuticals • Behavioral health promotion • Diet, lifestyle, patient education • Social media • Et cetera ………
COSTS of current INFORMATION DEFICIT • INTEROPERABILITY DEFECTS that prevent rational safety controls, process management, key performance metrics, system performance costing • EXPENSIVE RE-WORK is needed post-deployment to correct design defects • NON-STANDARD TERMINOLOGIES are used to track, classify, and modify innovations across the entire lifecycle, making rational analysis difficult, costly • VERTICAL R&D SILOS of specialized disciplines do not communicate, connect or cooperate with other disciplines or organizations to create interdisciplinary expertise • DISPARATE INSTITUTIONAL VALUES, priorities, and conflicting incentives for innovation waste resources • INCOMPLETE SOLUTIONS - Researchers and businesses waste precious time, effort and money pursuing partial and divergent solutions • FRAGMENTATION - Most innovators do their work without a clear idea of all the performance, regulatory , and operational requirements for successful healthcare innovation. • NON-STANDARDIZED DATA models in disparate relational databases make it almost impossible to classify, track and search for health innovations across organizations nationally or globally, resulting in piecemeal innovations that have partial or conflicting functionality, or are un-integratable with other healthcare systems. • IGNORANCE of system lifecycle functional requirements, leading to flawed performance, extra costs, re-work, and patient risk • DUPLICATION of design efforts, wasting scarce resources across organizations • SEGMENTARY design expertise fails to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end design solutions
THE REGISTRY WILL FORGE TIGHTER DESIGN INTEGRATION BETWEEN SECTORS AND PROFESSIONAL DOMAINS TO PROMOTE MORE ALIGNED INNOVATIONS

More innovators will have access to design and production expertise to form partnerships that are needed to satisfy the dozens of critical success factors . • A single registry that uses globally standardized ontologies, data models and search methods will enable rapid queries with extreme precision and analytic detail, currently unavailable anywhere. This capability will enable rapid formation of complementary team collaborations to ensure integrity of design for product lifecycle. • Systematic modeling of system lifecycle requirements, enabling comprehensive design intelligence • Convergent and cooperative designs of medical devices, processes, and systems • Comprehensive design partnerships are enabled to encompass the complete lifecycle of performance requirements • Robust interoperability design and convergent planning to support adaptive health innovations BENEFITS of a Global Health Innovation Registry • Reduced re-work, inefficiencies, risks, and associated costs • Transition to standardized terminological ontologies, enabling radical transformation of data management for medical device asset and service management. • Facilitates horizontal expertise consortia, consultations, synergies • Alignment of institutional values, priorities, incentives, action • Innovators have access to a global network of innovation partners with complementary experience, connections, expertise, and model of convergence.
Critical Factor: The ITIL System Lifecycle Service Model(Created for IT systems, but extensible to all strategic and operational domains of healthcare) The ITIL System Lifecycle service model is a sine-qua-non of design intelligence for modern healthcare innovators. Information Technology Infrastructure Library Failure to design intelligently for every element of this integrated service model will guarantee substandard performance, economic waste, and possible clinical risk. http://g2sf.com/itil-program-requirements/
Critical Factor: Community-centric Model of Health Systems Design Person-centered, precision care also requires a coherent community dimension to ensure all relevant systems are represented in innovation concepts and plans. Point solutions aren’t enough. EXAMPLE: Kaiser Permanente is funneling $200 million into efforts to address housing instability. It's the first of a series of investments the system will make in community initiatives that address social determinants of health, focusing on 30-day readmissions."Affordable housing will be a significant focus of Kaiser Permanente's impact-investing portfolio to generate housing stability and improve health outcomes," said Bernard J. Tyson, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente. "We hope our commitment creates a broader national conversation on homelessness and encourages other companies to join us to advance economic, social and environmental conditions for health." http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20180521/NEWS/180529995
Critical Factor: The Semantic Web solution The proposed Registry will be based on a state-of-art semantic web Big Data platform, using an IBM supercomputer which will enable unprecedented, virtually instantaneous insight into hundreds of thousands of health innovations worldwide, at their various stages of development. This will be a vital multi-disciplinary alternative to the thousands of expensive, uncoordinated and specialized journals, proprietary databases, and conferences that now broker emerging information in highly fragmented and unaffordable form, or block its availability entirely.
The Evolution of Semantic Data Strategies Global innovators will benefit from next generation data management capabilities, freed from limitatiosemantic web ns of disjointed relational databases. Graph databases represent complex and dyamic RELATIONSHIPS that more closely reflect interdependencies in health systems (Good) Web Ontology Language (Bad) http://wiki.opensemanticframework.org/images/thumb/4/44/Semantic_Spectrum.png/600px-Semantic_Spectrum.png
