eHealth ongoing challenges Interoperability and security for sharing clinical data European strategies in eHealth A Patient Summary at European level Requirements for a supporting infrastructure
Current trends towards Triple Space Computing Semantic Web technologies for semantic interoperability Web Services technologies for message exchange Tuple Space technologies for persistent publishing and
retrieval Triple Space Computing as a middleware for the European
Integration problem in eHealth is more complicated than in other sectors because Very complex domain
Need to deal with the intensive use of knowledge Archetypes of openEHR Reference Information Model in HL7 v3 Medical terminologies: SNOMED, LOINC, ICD, UMLS, …
Privacy issues for the treatment of citizen data Need to deal with security aspects
Life or Death implications Heavy social and organizational impact
The interest of European Commission on patient summary is focusing on providing guidelines for a European infrastructure for accessing critical citizens’ health data
A patient summary is a concise clinical document that makes citizens’ health data available for Unexpected contacts (emergency, …) Shared clinical pathways (cross-organizational
The proposals for eHealth standards similarly address interoperability by: Defining a shared conceptual model Deriving message structure from such conceptual model Coding the information carried by messages using medical
terminologies (e.g., LOINC, SNOMED, ICD, UMLS, etc.) Binding the resulting messages to “the technology of the day”
meaning EDI in the ’90s, XML and Web Services today
This is very similar to the Semantic Web approach in which semantic interoperability is achieved by modelling the domain knowledge at conceptual level interconnect applications using the modelled concepts
Conclusion The European Patient Summary is a first step
towards a network of complementary healthcare centres
Such eHealth scenario emphasizes the needs of: Interoperability among heterogeneous systems Coordination among multiple and different actors Time and Location autonomy Privacy for the treatment of data
TSC can be a suitable middleware for the EPS and it can be also a new technology to accomplish European challenges in eHealth
