ONCO-FAIR Project: Improving Data Interoperability in Oncology Chemotherapy Treatments for Data Reuse.

The ONCO-FAIR project's initial experimentation aims to enhance data interoperability in oncology chemotherapy treatments, adhering to the FAIR principles. This study focuses on integrating the HL7 FHIR standard to address interoperability challenges within chemotherapy data exchange. Collaborating with healthcare institutions in Rennes, the research team assessed the limitations of current standards such as PN13, mCODE, and OSIRIS, leading to the customization of twelve FHIR resources complemented by two chemotherapy-specific extensions.

Key Research Areas for Building and Deploying a Common Data Model for an Intensive Medicine Data Space in Europe and Beyond.

Key Research Areas (KRAs) were identified to establish a semantic interoperability framework for intensive medicine data in Europe. These include assessing common data model value, ensuring smooth data interoperability, supporting data standardization for efficient dataset use, and defining anonymization requirements to balance data protection and innovation.

Reliability of Drug-Drug Interaction Measurement on Real-Word Data: The ReMIAMes Project.

The ReMIAMes project proposes a methodological framework to provide a reliable and reproducible measurement of the frequency of drug-drug interactions (DDI) when performed on real-world data. This framework relies on (i) a fine-grained and contextualized definition of DDIs, (ii) a shared minimum information model to select the appropriate data for the correct interpretation of potential DDIs, (iii) an ontology-based inference module able to handle missing data to classify prescription lines with potential DDIs, (iv) a report generator giving the value of the measurement and explanations when potential false positive are detected due to a lack of available data. All the tools developed are intended to be publicly shared under open license.

eHOP Clinical Data Warehouse: From a Prototype to the Creation of an Inter-Regional Clinical Data Centers Network.

Creation of networks such as clinical data centers within the hospital enables efficient exploitation of clinical data from a local to an inter-regional scope. This work present the structuration of the French Western Clinical Data Center Network (FWCDCN) conducted between 2016 and 2018. As of November 2018, FWCDCD is compounded with 7 institutions.

Integrating Biobank Data into a Clinical Data Research Network: The IBCB Project.

Unlabelled: Development of biobanks is still hampered by difficulty to collect high quality sample annotations using patient clinical information. The IBCB project evaluated the feasibility of a nationwide clinical data research network for this purpose.

Method: the infrastructure, based on eHOP and I2B2 technologies, was interfaced with the legacy IT components of 3 hospitals.

An Integrated Workflow For Secondary Use of Patient Data for Clinical Research.

This work proposes an integrated workflow for secondary use of medical data to serve feasibility studies, and the prescreening and monitoring of research studies. All research issues are initially addressed by the Clinical Research Office through a research portal and subsequently redirected to relevant experts in the determined field of concentration. For secondary use of data, the workflow is then based on the clinical data warehouse of the hospital.

Semantic integration of medication data into the EHOP Clinical Data Warehouse.

Unlabelled: Reusing medication data is crucial for many medical research domains. Semantic integration of such data in clinical data warehouse (CDW) is quite challenging. Our objective was to develop a reliable and scalable method for integrating prescription data into EHOP (a French CDW).

Documentation in pharmacovigilance: using an ontology to extend and normalize Pubmed queries.

Objectives: To assess and understand adverse drug reactions (ADRs), a systematic review of reference databases like Pubmed is a necessary and mandatory step in Pharmacovigilance. In order to assist pharmacovigilance team with a computerized tool, we performed a comparative study of 4 different approaches to query Pubmed through ADR-drug terms. The aim of this study is to assess how an ontology of adverse effects, used to normalize and extend queries, could improve this search.

A knowledge management platform for documentation of case reports in pharmacovigilance.

Most countries have developed information systems to report drug adverse effects. However, as in other domains where systematic reviews are needed, there is little guidance on how systematic documentation of drug adverse effects should be performed. The objective of the VigiTermes project is to develop a platform to improve documentation of pharmacovigilance case reports for the pharmaceutical industry and regulatory authorities.

Design considerations for an ontology in the domain of organ failure and transplantation.

The Etablissement français des Greffes (EfG) is a national agency dealing with Public Health issues related to organ, tissue and cell transplantation in France. The evaluation of organ retrieval and transplantation activities, one of its missions, is supported by a national information system (IS). In order to facilitate data recording, to improve the quality of information and to prepare semantic interoperability with other information systems, the existing thesaurus of the EfG was audited, leading to the design a new terminological module devoted to the support of the domain ontology.

Medical pedagogical resources management.

The main objective of this work is to help the management of training resources for students using a pedagogical network available at the Medical School of Rennes. With the increase of the number of connections and the number of medical documents available on this network, the management of new contents requires a lot of efforts for the webmaster. In order to improve the management of the resources, we implemented an automatic web engine for teachers, able to manage the links for the most interesting resources for their practice.

A contextual coding system for transplantation and end stage diseases.

The Establissement français des Greffes (EfG) is a state agency dealing with Public Health issues related to organ, tissue and cell transplantation in France. EfG maintains a national information system (EfG-IS) for the evaluation of organ transplantation activities. The EfG-IS is moving toward a new n-tier architecture comprising a terminological server.

Developing the ontological foundations of a terminological system for end-stage diseases, organ failure, dialysis and transplantation.

The Etablissement français des Greffes (EfG) is a state agency dealing with Public Health issues related to organ, tissue and cell transplantation in France. The evaluation of organ retrieval and transplantation activities, one of its missions, is supported by a national information system (EfG-IS). The EfG-IS is moving towards a new n-tier architecture comprising a terminology server for end-stage diseases, organ failure, dialysis and transplantation (EfG-TS).
