An Open Information Model-Based Repository for Sustainable Re-Use of Heterogeneous Pandemics Research Data.

The COVID-19 Research Network Lower Saxony (COFONI) is a German state network of experts in Coronavirus research and development of strategies for future pandemics. One of the pillars of the COFONI technology platform is its established research data repository (Available at https://forschungsdb.cofoni.

Eos and OMOCL: Towards a seamless integration of openEHR records into the OMOP Common Data Model.

Background: The reuse of data from electronic health records (EHRs) for research purposes promises to improve the data foundation for clinical trials and may even support to enable them. Nevertheless, EHRs are characterized by both, heterogeneous structure and semantics. To standardize this data for research, the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) standard has recently seen an increase in use.

The COVID-19 Data Exchange Platform of the German University Medicine.

COVID-19 has challenged the healthcare systems worldwide. To quickly identify successful diagnostic and therapeutic approaches large data sharing approaches are inevitable. Though organizational clinical data are abundant, many of them are available only in isolated silos and largely inaccessible to external researchers.

openEHR-to-FHIR: Converting openEHR Compositions to Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) for the German Corona Consensus Dataset (GECCO).

The German Corona Consensus (GECCO) established a uniform dataset in FHIR format for exchanging and sharing interoperable COVID-19 patient specific data between health information systems (HIS) for universities. For sharing the COVID-19 information with other locations that use openEHR, the data are to be converted in FHIR format. In this paper, we introduce our solution through a web-tool named "openEHR-to-FHIR" that converts compositions from an openEHR repository and stores in their respective GECCO FHIR profiles.

The nephrology eHealth-system of the metropolitan region of Hannover for digitalization of care, establishment of decision support systems and analysis of health care quality.

Background: Even though a high demand for sector spanning communication exists, so far no eHealth platform for nephrology is established within Germany. This leads to insufficient communication between medical providers and therefore suboptimal nephrologic care. In addition, Clinical Decision Support Systems have not been used in Nephrology until now.
