PhD Amnon Shabo, Haifa University, Israel:
Translational & Interoperable Health Infostructure - The Servant of
Three Masters
Beginn: 24.07.2015, 15:00 Uhr
Ort: TU Braunschweig, Informatikzentrum, Mühlenpfordtstraße 23,
1. OG, Hörsaal M 161

Kontakt: Prof. Dr. Reinhold Haux
Overcoming major barriers of translational medicine is heavily dependent
on streamlining the health information collection, organization, storage,
retrieval, analysis and exchange among all stakeholders. However, the
health arena is still highly fragmented into many silos of information
that cannot interoperate easily, as well as into services that cannot
be easily integrated to achieve more ambitious goals of analytics.
To this end, it is beneficial to have a translational health
info-structure (THIS) that is ‘a servant of three masters’: biomedical
research, clinical practice and most importantly - the individuals whose
health information is being processed in THIS. The translational nature
of THIS is made possible thanks to the following principles:
(*) A warehousing—marts architecture, where warehousing of data in
its richest representation is coupled with multiple marts optimized per
usage. Warehousing of source data is based on internationally recognized
information standards, which are dynamically constrained to create
information models that fit various needs of both bioinformatics and
healthcare, as well as interoperability among various THIS systems and
other stakeholders;
(*) Dispersed data sets of an individual are integrated into a single and
coherent electronic health record that is interoperable and longitudinal
(iEHR). The iEHR embeds clinical, environmental and biological data and
thus (1) being a better input to analytics and (2) facilitates analytics
tooling integration;
(*) The iEHR is a standard payload for interoperability and can also
be better controlled by the individual due to its transferability to
the new generation of independent health record systems where data
protection and role-based access control mechanisms are practiced with
a patient-centric approach.
A reference implementation that followed a few of the aforementioned
design principles will be presented, based on the Hypergenes project
(an EU-funded funded GWAS on essential hypertension).
Short bio: Amnon Shabo (Shvo), PhD, specializes in health informatics and
worked at IBM Research Lab in Haifa in years 2000-2014. He co-founded
and chaired the Medical Informatics Community in IBM Research
and headed the IBM worldwide program on healthcare & life Sciences
standards. Amnon established and chairs two professional work groups:
(1) the IMIA Work Group on Health Record Banking and (2) the EFMI Work
Group on Translational Health Informatics. Amnon has been leading a
few standardization activities: he established and co-chairs the HL7
Clinical Genomics Work Group and is a co-editor of the Clinical Document
Architecture (CDA), Continuity of Care Document (CCD), the Family Health
History (Pedigree) and the Genetic Testing Report (GTR) standards. Amnon
specializes in longitudinal and cross-institutional Electronic Health
Records and is a pioneer of the Independent Health Record Banks vision. He
is currently a Research Fellow at the Department of Information Systems,
University of Haifa and can be contacted at amnon.shvo(a)gmail.com.
