Unique Device Identification Based Linkage of Hierarchically Accessible Data Domains in Prospective Hospital Data Ecosystems

TL;DR

This paper explores integrating diverse healthcare data sources using Unique Device Identification to enhance hospital information systems and mHealth, addressing data fusion, access control, and cross-domain interoperability.

Contribution

It introduces a hierarchical access model for integrating heterogeneous healthcare data domains using UDI, advancing data fusion and access control in hospital ecosystems.

Findings

Demonstrated data integration of UDI-based device data into HIS.

Developed a hierarchical access model for cross-domain data sharing.

Showed feasibility of integrating mHealth data with hospital systems.

Abstract

The electronic health record (EHR) targets the systematized collection of patient-specific electronically-stored health data. Currently the EHR is an evolving concept driven by ongoing technical developments and open or unclear legal issues concerning used medical technologies, data integration from other domains and unclear access roles. This paper addresses cross-domain data integration, data fusion and access control using the specific example of a Unique Device Identification (UDI) expanded hip implant. In fact, the integration of technical focus data into the hospital information system (HIS) is discussed and presented based on surgically relevant information. Moreover, the acquisition of social focus databased on mHealth is approached, which also covers data integration and networking with therapeutic intervention or acute diagnostics data. Data integration from heterogeneous domains is covered while using a data ecosystem with hierarchical access based on a shell embedded role model, which includes staggered access scenarios.
