ANNEX 1
The aim of the Project “Development of universal data model and continuity of care processes
based on international standards for new generation health information systems” is to find
appropriate model for digital health care data that could be used for data collection and storage in
new generation TIS with the feasibility to implement the same model in other large scale Electronic
Health Records (EHR). This data model will be foundation for health care professionals to use
digital decision support systems in context of Electronic Medical Record. The definition of data
model would lead to the development of EHR processes where minimal set of health status
summaries are defined for each specialty/health issue to make evidence-based decision possible.
In turn, defined health status summaries are needed for development of continuity of care processes
and training of artificial intelligence and development of intuitive Electronic Medical Records.
The information in TIS has been collected since 2008 based on the HL7 CDA Data Exchange
Standard. There are defined 17 documents, most of which are in XML. Analysing such data is
laborious because XML is a format that is “excluded” by analysis tools. The data elements with
the same content have been collected in the TIS through various documents. In essence, the same
data element (such as blood pressure) is collected in very different forms throughout history, from
free text to structured data items.
It is planned to introduce the HL7 FHIR standard in the development of new generation TIS. When
switching from older standard version to new one, one has to take into account that the older
version documents must be converted to the widest possible extent to new and that it must be
possible to receive the data and documents sent under both standards.
The project has 3 main outcomes:
1. Outcome 1. Development of data model for digital medical data capture and storage to
achieve semantic interoperability for new generation TIS
Description of data sets based on HL7 FHIR standard. This approach makes it possible to
systematize the data in the new generation TIS and to understand the possibility and extent of data
conversion if they are to be used in parallel with TIS data.
ContSys standard process based TIS architecture with real data will be tested in context of actors,
processes and activities. The main goal is to move to event based TIS architecture. Data that
already exists in the TIS are converted into "pseudo-event based" data by separating these data in
documents into events.
The development of a data model in addition to the process model to move to event based data
collection based on the FHIR standard and agreement about the terminology that covers the widest
possible usage area. These activities together provide the basis for developing a data warehouse
data model that is capable of receiving all the data to be collected and be dynamically developed.
Indicators:
- 3 data models on selected care processes (stroke, diabetes and its complications, cancer)
are piloted.
- Optimal data sets needed for decision making in selected care process are presented and
approved by the Applicant of the Grant.
2. Outcome 2. Development of universal continuity of care process standard for new
generation TIS
The development of the new generation TIS processes based on ContSys/ISO13940:2015, the
standard for the use of health data, which defines semantic interoperability essential to the
continuity of care process. Process-based approach to context as well as the relationships between
the context of these processes and the content of concepts in the standard will be explained.
Processes for new generation TIS will be developed in the manner that they are built-in activities
that affect process objects and can be aggregated and/or split into different parts that can be
considered as processes.
Existing TIS documents will be assigned on different episodes of the care process on the basis of
ContSys, and their data sets will be disassembled and mapped as much as possible according to
the new data models developed in Stage 1.
Investigation of current processes in Estonian health care service provision to define minimal set
of inputs to achieve targeted outputs of the process is performed.
Workflow for selected care services and sequence of the activities in a corresponding process is
defined. Also, definition of actors and their roles in the selected care processes is done.
Indicators:
- New generation TIS processes are developed and presented as a documented standard for
continuity of care of TIS development.
3. Outcome 3. Development and localization of terminology database for the use of new
generation TIS data model and continuity of care standard in clinical practice
Data models and used terms are systematized and incorporated in respective taxonomies according
to international Health Data Dictionary development procedures. Taxonomies are discussed with
and approved by health care professionals’ societies.
Indicators:
- The structure of the terminology database (Health Data Dictionary) is created and
introduced to medical specialists.
The projects outcomes presented in this project will be dealt with in parallel throughout the entire
period. It has become clear during the project that processes which have been established
previously may need to be supplemented due to the continuous flow of information. Considering
this, the first priority of the project has been to map out the Indicators (stroke, diabetes and cancer
data models and data sets) presented in Outcome 1. It is important to go through this step first in
order to understand which data fields exist in the project and which information is currently being
collected. It provides input for the creation of a new generation of TIS and helps to better
understand the interoperability of databases based on the HL7/FHIR standard.
