Description and Experience of the Clinical Testbeds
This deliverable describes the up-to-date technical environment at three clinical testbed demonstrator sites of
the 6WINIT Project, including the adapted clinical applications, project components and network transition technologies
in use at these sites after 18 months of the Project. It also provides an interim description of early experiences with
deployment and usage of these applications, components and technologies, and their clinical service impact
Middleware for managing a large, heterogeneous programmable network
The links between BTexact Technologies and the Department of Computing Science at University College London are becomingincreasingly beneficial for the development of the middleware area for the management of programmable networks. This paperdescribes the work that has been done to date, and outlines the plans for future research
Moving beyond e-journals
Paul Ayris explains to Elspeth Hyams why scholarly communication has moved beyond the debate on e-journals pricing and open access
Report on the EHCR (Deliverable 26.1)
The challenge of richly interpreting electronic health information, in order to
populate EHR instances with suitable terms, to provide decision support in the care
of individuals, to identify suitable patients for teaching or clinical trials recruitment,
and to mine populations of records for public health or to discover new medical
knowledge, all require that the heterogeneous clinical entry instances within EHR
repositories can be systematically analysed and interpreted.
Achieving this requires the combination and co-operation of many different health
informatics tools and technologies, underpinned by shared representations of
clinical concepts and inferencing formalisms. Much of this work is at the level of
R&D, and is well represented across the Semantic Mining consortium.
The challenge of WP26 is to build up a vision of the ways in which these
historically independent threads of health informatics research can collaborate, and
uncover the research challenges that are needed in order to deliver good
demonstrations of semantically indexed and richly analysable EHRs.
The partners have begun WP26 by acquiring a better knowledge of each otherâs
areas of endeavour, and are beginning to steer their research interests towards
future areas of collaboration
