Article Synopsis
- Access to healthcare data for research is limited due to privacy and business issues, which affects the ability to analyze patient pathways effectively.
- The Smart FOX project aims to create methods and tools that allow patients to donate their health data voluntarily for research, building on Austria's Electronic Health Record system (ELGA).
- Funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency, Smart FOX involves various stakeholders to develop governance frameworks and infrastructure, ultimately enhancing clinical research and preparing Austria for the European Health Data Space.
Background: The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) and Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) are standards for the healthcare industry, designed to improve the exchange of health data by interoperability. Both standards are constrained through what are known as Implementation Guides (IG) for specific use.
Objectives: Both of these two standards are widely in use and play an important role in the Austrian healthcare system.
Semantic interoperability is the centerpiece of successful communication between information systems within the health care system. As such, a terminology server provides information systems with the concepts needed for coding information accordingly. As the current Austrian terminology server does not meet all requirements anymore, a new terminology server is necessary.

Objectives: The specification of two harmonized implementation guides with standardized structure for all types of outpatient clinics in hospitals on the one hand and for telemonitoring treatments on the other hand.
Methods: With the participation of expert groups, the contents were harmonized, and a data model was created.
Challenges of a HL7 CDA Guideline for Telehealth Based DMP Systems.
Stud Health Technol Inform
June 2018
Background: Disease management programs (DMP) are a modern way of treating health conditions and are becoming a part of standard care. One telehealth DMP service has been in regular operation since 2017, named "HerzMobil Tirol".
Objectives: This paper investigates, if the electronic health record standard HL7 CDA, which is widely accepted in the health care industry, could be used for telehealth DMP services as well.
