AI Article Synopsis

  • - openEHR is an open-source technology focused on creating interoperable Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and improving semantic interoperability through its architecture, which includes building blocks like "templates" that organize data for specific use-cases.
  • - The paper outlines the development of a generic data model for a virtual pancreatic cancer patient, utilizing the openEHR framework, with data sourced from the "Oncology minimal data set" of the HiGHmed project.
  • - Additionally, the authors created virtual data profiles for 10 patients using the template, aiming to facilitate testing and experimentation in the openEHR environment, with both the template and the patient profiles made publicly accessible.

Article Abstract

openEHR is an open-source technology for e-health, aims to build data models for interoperable Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and to enhance semantic interoperability. openEHR architecture consists of different building blocks, among them is the "template" which consists of different archetypes and aims to collect the data for a specific use-case. In this paper, we created a generic data model for a virtual pancreatic cancer patient, using the openEHR approach and tools, to be used for testing and virtual environments. The data elements for this template were derived from the "Oncology minimal data set" of HiGHmed project. In addition, we generated virtual data profiles for 10 patients using the template. The objective of this exercise is to provide a data model and virtual data profiles for testing and experimenting scenarios within the openEHR environment. Both of the template and the 10 virtual patient profiles are available publicly.
