EurecaEureca aims to build an advanced, standards-based and scalable semantic integration environment enabling seamless, secure and consistent bi-directional linking of clinical research and clinical care systems to:
At the core of the project will be achieving semantic interoperability among EHR and clinical trial systems, consistent with existing standards, while managing the various sources of heterogeneity: technology, medical vocabulary, language, etc.
Project: FP7-ICT-2011-7-288048 Start: 01 February 2012 Duration: 42 months Keywords: Semantic interoperability, bi-directional linkage, clinical research, safety, secondary use of EHR, healthcare standards, data protection, security Website: This requires the definition of sound information models describing the EHR and the clinical trial systems, and capturing the semantics of the clinical terms by standard terminology systems. The scalability of the solution will be achieved by modularization, identifying core data subsets covering the chosen clinical domains. We demonstrate and validate concepts developed in Eureca by implementing a set of software services and tools that we deploy in the context of pilot demonstrators. Eureca will develop solutions that fulfill the data protection and security needs and the legal, ethical and regulatory requirements related to linking research and EHR data.
