ABSTRACT
The ResearchEHR Project focuses on the usability of Electronic Health Record (EHR) sources and
EHR standards for health research studies. The aim is to support healthcare professional, institutions
and authorities by providing a set of generic methods and tools for the capture, standardization,
integration, description and dissemination of health related information. These tools will support
faster and cheaper information gathering and, more important, more effective use of information in
decision making, organization of clinical trials, and identification of eligible cases or illness registries.
ResearchEHR aims, thus, to develop and validate an application that allows semantic information
sharing and flexible querying of information drawn from systems which directly support patient care
for research purposes. Semantic interoperability will be based on the use of EHR architecture
standards and medical terminologies and ontologies and standard to standard semantic
transformations. ResearchEHR is organized in 2 R&D streams:
OBJECTIVES
Automatic extraction and persistence of relevant information for medical research represented by
standard EHR architectures.
Model interoperability
Flexible query system based on natural language processing techniques
Development of an “easy to use” tool/platform for quick implantation in research projects involving
several investigation partners which need a common repository of data.
