  2. ResearchEHR • Providing a set of generic methods and tools for the capture, standardization, integration, description and dissemination of health related information • Two main research streams • Data: archetypes to describe the semantics of legacy health data in a manner independent of the internal representation of data. • Knowledge: ontologies as formal representation of archetypes

  3. Archetypes • Dual model approach • Reference model (Information): stable and standard-specific • Archetype model (Knowledge): dynamic and generic • Formal models of clinical concepts (i.e., heart rate pulse) • Structure + constraints • Suitable for sharing and reuse • Interoperability unit

  4. ResearchEHR Overview

  5. Data level • Objective: use archetypes to describe the semantics of legacy health data in a manner independent of the particular data organization in the underlying data repositories. • Semantic enrichment: legacy data is described by using reference models and archetypes. • Normalization of legacy data: legacy data is transformed into structures compliant with the reference model. • It eases the use of ontological technologies (ontological level)

  6. LinkEHR-Ed • Software tool for the description and normalization of legacy data. • Able to handle different reference models, expressed as XML schemas. • ISO/CEN EN13606, OpenEHR, HL7 CDA and CCR has been tested successfully

  7. LinkEHR-Ed

  8. Data normalization • Existing data must be translated to be compliant with both reference models and archetypes: domains, labeling and structure. • LinkEHR-Ed helps users to define mappings between data sources and archetypes. • Users define high level mappings • The tools generate low level transformation programs.

  9. Mapping: define and generate Reference model Constrains Source data schema Target schema (archetype) High level mappings Compiler Instance of Instance of Data Normalized data Low level mapping (Xquery script)

  10. Ontology Level • The Semantic Web vision • Machines can understand and process all the data by making its meaning explicit through ontologies • Formal semantic representation of clinical knowledge • Semantics-powered systems • Poseacle Converter: Archetype Interoperability • ArchMS: Archetype Management System • ARCheck: Archetype Consistency checking • ArchForms: Automatic Generation of Applications

  11. The Ontological Representation • Semantic interpretation of the ISO 13606 and OpenEHR archetype and reference models. • Set of EHR standards OWL ontologies • http://miuras.inf.um.es/~researchehr/websvn/

  12. Archetypes for the Semantic WebADL2OWL ADL Archetype ADL Parser AOM Metamodel Ontology Metamodel AOM archetype model Ontology archetype model OWL archetype

  13. Archetype Interoperability Architecture

  14. Poseacle Converter http://miuras.inf.um.es/PoseacleConverter/

  15. Archetype Management SystemArchMS • EHR-standard independent • Annotations and searches based on our semantic models

  16. Archetype Consistency CheckingARCheck http://miuras.inf.um.es/archeck Use of OWL reasoning to find invalid specializations

  17. Automatic Applications from 13606 ArchetypesArchForms • Compliant XML extracts • Multiple archetypes • Multiple devices

  18. Conclusions • Archetypes are used to construct a semantic layer over existing EHR based on Semantic Web technologies • This is easen by upgrading already deployed systems in order to make them compatible with an EHR standard and a set of archetypes. • Semantics-powered approaches can also facilitate the achievement of semantic interoperability by providing explicit meaning for data and knowledge
