Healthcare professionals need access to accurate and complete healthcare records for effective assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients. The non-interoperability of healthcare information systems means that inter-enterprise access to a patient's history over many distributed encounters is difficult to achieve. The ARTEMIS project has developed a secure semantic web service infrastructure for the interoperability of healthcare information systems. Healthcare professionals share services and medical information using a web service annotation and mediation environment based on functional and clinical semantics derived from healthcare standards. Healthcare professionals discover medical information about individuals using a patient identification protocol based on pseudonymous information. The management of care pathways and access to medical information is based on a well-defined business process allowing healthcare providers to negotiate collaboration and data access agreements within the context of strict legislative frameworks.

A survey and analysis of Electronic Healthcare Record standards Eichelberg, M; Aden, T; Riesmeier, J; Doğaç, Asuman; Laleci, GB (2005-12-01) Medical information systems today store clinical information about patients in all kinds of proprietary formats. To address the resulting interoperability problems, several Electronic Healthcare Record standards that structure the clinical content for the purpose of exchange are currently under development. In this article, we present a survey of the most relevant Electronic Healthcare Record standards, examine the level of interoperability they provide, and assess their functionality in terms of content st...
A Semantically Enriched Clinical Guideline Model Enabling Deployment in Heterogeneous Healthcare Environments Laleci, Gokce B.; Doğaç, Asuman (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-03-01) Clinical guidelines are developed to assist healthcare practitioners to make decisions on patient's medical problems, and as such they communicate with external applications to retrieve patient data to initiate medical actions through clinical workflows, and transmit information to alert/reminder systems. The interoperability problems in the healthcare information technology domain prevent wider deployment of clinical guidelines because each deployment requires a tedious custom adaptation phase. In this pap...
A Semantic Transformation Methodology for the Secondary Use of Observational Healthcare Data in Postmarketing Safety Studies Pacaci, Anil; Gonul, Suat; Sinaci, A. Anil; Yuksel, Mustafa; Laleci Erturkmen, Gokce B. (Frontiers Media SA, 2018-4-30) Background: Utilization of the available observational healthcare datasets is key to complement and strengthen the postmarketing safety studies. Use of common data models (CDM) is the predominant approach in order to enable large scale systematic analyses on disparate data models and vocabularies. Current CDM transformation practices depend on proprietarily developed Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) procedures, which require knowledge both on the semantics and technical characteristics of the source datasets an...
An Extensible security infrastructure for the secondary use of electronic health records in clinical research Eryılmaz, Elif; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) In order to facilitate clinical research studies re-using Electronic Health Records (EHR) has a great potential. Besides interoperability, safeguarding the security and privacy of the medical data in the context of secondary use for clinical research is one of the most important challenges in this respect. In order to ensure that the clinical information is shared among EHR systems and clinical research systems in an ethical and safe way, there needs to be standards-based and adaptable security and privacy ...
An Advanced personal health record platform for patient empowerment Postacı, Şenan; Çiçekli Kesim, Nihan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2012) In recent years, many Personal Health Record (PHR) systems have been developed to retrieve patients’ Electonic Health Records (EHRs) from external sources. However, current PHRs can provide access to only a small number of EHR systems, since there are many di erent interfaces, data formats and medical terminologies among di erent systems. When this is the case, all these diversity yields high integration costs. Development of such systems is di cult and expensive because of the reasons such as accessing to ...
