I agree with your contention – but as of today claims is a more comprehensive and easily available source as compared to EMR data.
The thinking is that we may be able to make better progress with both types of data (EMR and claims) as opposed to just EMR data alone. ---Vipul From: Michael Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 12:03 PM To: Vipul Kashyap Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: HCLS Agenda Thursday (tomorrow): Roadmap on RDF for Healthcare Information Interoperability (Yosemite Project) hi vipul, (just got back from vacation, hence late reply) i agree that it is good to include claims data but the caveat with using the claims data is that its criteria is for the health care provider to get paid, not to accurately describe the condition of the patient. cheers, michael Michael Miller Software Engineer Institute for Systems Biology From: Vipul Kashyap [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2014 3:24 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: HCLS Agenda Thursday (tomorrow): Roadmap on RDF for Healthcare Information Interoperability (Yosemite Project) Hi Peter, Is it possible for us to get more information on this? A write up, a paper or something? An interesting point to note – is that Claims/Administrative Billing Data is an important data source for HEDIS metrics and reports. Is your system based on EMR data or claims data? The reason I bring this up is that it might be important for the RDF representation to also capture Claims data (which is a much more common data source than EMR Data for analytics as of now, though with more EMR penetration, this might change). In that case the top ontology levels are likely to be different and different from the HL7 model. Thanks! ---Vipul From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2014 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: HCLS Agenda Thursday (tomorrow): Roadmap on RDF for Healthcare Information Interoperability (Yosemite Project) We (Kaiser) are working with Ian Horrock's group at Oxford on a project for automating HEDIS reports using RDFox. RDFox is a novel kind of RDF store that can use OWL-RL and Datalog and can do massively parallel processing. For the RDF models, I really hope they are not so ad hoc, but that they follow the HL7 V3 backbone idea of starting top ontology levels with Entities Roles participations and Acts. It is key to have this for all of the models to be HL7 compatible. If the RDF healthcare models start with this level, then they will be compatible with HL7 V2 and CDA etc. NOTICE TO RECIPIENT: If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, you are prohibited from sharing, copying, or otherwise using or disclosing its contents.
