CSSDH: An Ontology for Social Determinants of Health to Operational Continuity of Care Data Interoperability
Subhashis Das, Debashis Naskar, and Sara Rodriguez Gonzalez
TL;DR
This paper introduces CSSDH, an ontology integrating social determinants of health with existing healthcare data standards to enhance interoperability and continuity of care across diverse healthcare systems.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel integrated ontological model, CSSDH, combining ContSys and WHO SDOH standards to improve data interoperability in healthcare networks.
Findings
CSSDH facilitates interoperability among heterogeneous healthcare data systems.
CSSDH supports patient-centric data access and control.
The model enhances continuity of care through standardized social determinants integration.
Abstract
The rise of digital platforms has led to an increasing reliance on technology-driven, home-based healthcare solutions, enabling individuals to monitor their health and share information with healthcare professionals as needed. However, creating an efficient care plan management system requires more than just analyzing hospital summaries and Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Factors such as individual user needs and social determinants of health, including living conditions and the flow of healthcare information between different settings, must also be considered. Challenges in this complex healthcare network involve schema diversity (in EHRs, personal health records, etc.) and terminology diversity (e.g., ICD, SNOMED-CT) across ancillary healthcare operations. Establishing interoperability among various systems and applications is crucial, with the European Interoperability Framework…
