openEHR is a widely used EHR specification. Given its technology-independent nature, different approaches for implementing openEHR data repositories exist. Public openEHR datasets are needed to conduct benchmark analyses over different implementations. To address their current unavailability, we propose a method for generating openEHR test datasets that can be publicly shared and used.

The integration of tumor-related diagnosis and therapy data is a key factor for cancer-related collaborative projects and research projects on-site. The Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC) of the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, resulting from the Medical Informatics Initiative and Network University Medicine in Germany, has agreed on an openEHR-based data management based on a centralized repository with harmonized annotated data. Consequently, the oncological data should be integrated into the MeDIC to interconnect the information and thus gain added value.

Practitioners of digital health are familiar with disjointed data environments that often inhibit effective communication among different elements of the ecosystem. This fragmentation leads in turn to issues such as inconsistencies in services versus payments, wastage, and notably, care delivered being less than best-practice. Despite the long-standing recognition of interoperable data as a potential solution, efforts in achieving interoperability have been disjointed and inconsistent, resulting in numerous incompatible standards, despite the widespread agreement that fewer standards would enhance interoperability.

In order to maximize the value of electronic health records (EHRs) for both health care and secondary use, it is necessary for the data to be interoperable and reusable without loss of the original meaning and context, in accordance with the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) principles. To achieve this, it is essential for health data platforms to incorporate standards that facilitate addressing needs such as formal modeling of clinical knowledge (health domain concepts) as well as the harmonized persistence, query, and exchange of data across different information systems and organizations. However, the selection of these specifications has not been consistent across the different health data initiatives, often applying standards to address needs for which they were not originally designed.

Metadata describe information about data source, type of creation, structure, status and semantics and are prerequisite for preservation and reuse of medical data. To overcome the hurdle of disparate data sources and repositories with heterogeneous data formats a metadata crosswalk was initiated, based on existing standards. FAIR Principles were included, as well as data format specifications.

This includes the assessment of pediatric organ dysfunction (OD) that demands extraordinary clinical expertise and the clinician's ability to derive a decision based on multiple information and data sources. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) offer a solution to support medical staff in stressful routine work.
