Drivers for trans-border information and
knowledge sharing
•
•
•
•
•
Cross-border health care
–
emergency care
–
elective care
–
consistent care pathways and standards of care
Population health
–
public health measures: prevention, immunisations etc.
–
detecting and tracking critical events: antibiotic resistance, infectious outbreaks, bio-terrorism etc.
Comparisons
–
treatment effectiveness
–
clinical outcomes
–
safety signals
Research
–
epidemiology
–
multi-national clinical studies
Common products and services
–
cross-border EHR systems and services
–
consistent implementation of clinical guidelines and decision support

Initiatives striving for harmonisation
• Clinical Information Modeling Initiative (CIMI)
• SemanticHealthNet
7
Clinical Information Modeling Initiative
(CIMI)
• International collaboration of several SDO’s, national
eHealth programmes, and large providers e.g. IHC, VA,
Kaiser
– providing a common format for the specification of clinical
models
– so that semantically interoperable information may be
created and shared in health records, messages and
documents
• Building on the openEHR archetype approach as its
starting point
• Specifications will be openly accessible, freely usable

• European Commission sponsored Network of
Excellence in Semantic Interoperability
– Dec 2011 to Nov 2014
– 3m Euro
– 17 Partners
– > 40 internationally recognised experts

SemanticHealthNet concept and objectives
•
Leverage a clinically-driven work-plan
– heart failure, exemplifying chronic disease management, evidence based care
and shared care
– cardiovascular prevention, exemplifying public health and national / global
strategies
•
Bring together the globally best of breed semantic resource
producers including commitment from the top SDOs
– to develop harmonised resources meeting the clinical needs,
adapting their standards as necessary
•
Engage stakeholders: patients, clinicians, industry, ministry,
insurance, on priorities, scope, governance, adoption
• Establish a scalable, sustainable, well-governed European Virtual
Organisation for semantic interoperability
