Despite years of work from both informaticians and IT-architects interoperability within healthcare is still low. This explorative case study performed on a well-staffed public health care provider shows that the involved roles were unclear, processes did not include each other, and that tooling was incompatible.However, interest in collaboration was high and technical advances and inhouse development were seen as incentives for increased collaboration.

It is of utmost importance to understand better the requirements for a Digital Therapeutics (DTx) design and trial service that supports the design of DTx and their efficient evaluation via feasibility studies, optimization trials (e.g., micro-randomized trials), efficacy or effectiveness trials (e.g., randomized controlled trials). This workshop has, therefore, the objective of gathering such requirements by applying the World Café methodology and discussing several complex care scenarios. We welcome participants with various backgrounds (e.g., technical, regulatory, medical, ethical) who bring in different perspectives.

The workshop aims at improving the completeness and interoperability of data dictionaries through harmonization and standardization. First, the focus lies on the syntactic and semantic level in order to derive concrete technical specifications and implementations: Based on a comprehensive review of existing standards and data dictionaries in common systems, frequently used attributes were identified. In a second step, a "Minimal Information Model" is discussed, in which typical description fields are listed, terminologically cleaned and arranged in a modular system to enable easy use and user-specific expansion. Crosswalks to existing vocabularies and conventions or to international standards are to be discussed.Practical mapping of your Data Dicitonary is possible as a practical exercise!

With more than a decade of supporting its customers in their healthcare data standardization efforts, B2i Healthcare publicly launched the Snowray Terminology Service to a global audience. This demonstration will introduce the most important functionalities to future users. Users are welcome to follow along with a free account.During the demonstration, we will cover the processes of creating and publishing new standard resources, including Code Systems, Value Sets and Concept Maps.

Review of the potential of using machine learning for the integration of medical data.

It is an obvious paradox that we as citizens, present in all clinical health encounters, lack tools to take full advantage of ongoing digital transformation in health care. In this panel we will discuss user needs and design of digital tool to improve access to personally relevant health information from trusted sources. Of special interest is adherence to treatment. The attendees can learn about opportunities to “collect, curate and control” relevant, personal health information, and digital services for personal health data and access trustworthy, up-to-date information that better meet situated, everyday needs.
