Paper Alberto Esteban - Distributed and synchronized users’ profile managemen...WTHS
OHMS allows physicians to perform continuous monitoring of elderly patients through a distributed system of personalized and synchronized XML profiles. This solution ensures that information accessed by both elderly and physician clients is always up-to-date by validating updates through a communication channel using web services and OSGi architecture. The health profile contains medical history, medications, sensor measurements, and protocols to manage this information based on a user's health conditions. OHMS was tested in European pilots to assess its ability to monitor users and react appropriately to emergency situations or medication changes based on profile information.
Long-Term Care 2.0 in Taiwan aims to respond to Taiwan's aging population by establishing a universal long-term care system that is accessible, affordable, and high quality. The plan expands coverage to more groups, integrates services, and constructs a comprehensive community care system. Key challenges include developing more home-based services, addressing workforce shortages, and improving the payment system. The goal is to sustain Taiwan's long-term care system financially while promoting quality as the population ages.
Connected information technology has the potential to drive service integration and accountability in aged care, but several challenges must be addressed. As the global population ages, joint public and private sector approaches are needed to meet the increasing needs of older adults who require support. While connectivity could allow information sharing to improve care coordination and quality management, assumptions about how service integration will unfold should be examined. True potential will only be achieved through concurrent policy changes, funding, organizational development, and systems changes at all levels.

• Security Services: Identification & Authorisation
- The security and confidentiality principles of SISS are the
following:
- Citizen consent to processing their health data, in
accordance to Art. 29
- Identification and authorisation of users
- Data security
- Limited access
7. eHealth strategy up to 2010: the
SISS documents
The SISS network allows for the gathering and
organisation of documents for clinical purposes. All
citizens registered in the Regional General Registry have a
citizen card and an EHR.
The information can be accessed by all healthcare
professionals and administrators connected to SISS,
provided appropriate identification and the citizen’s explicit
consent. SISS contains metadata that points to the synthesis
reports of all healthcare events
8. eHealth strategy up to 2010: the
SISS documents
The following EHR documents can be accessed via SISS,
independent of the location of the point of care:
• Drug prescriptions
• Vaccination records
• Test results
• Hospital discharge letters
• Therapeutic plans
• Referral letters
• Emergency Services reports.

13. CRS-SISS implementation
• Pathology networks creation
A new development is the establishment of pathology
networks with the aim of utilising the opportunities provided by
SISS for continuous and ubiquitous care for those who need it.
Currently, there are 3 active pathology networks, for
- Oncology
- Epilepsy and
- Rare pathologies
Another 5 networks, covering cardio-vascular and stroke
diseases, dialysis, hearing, and the phenomenon of infants
death, are in the process of being implemented.
14. CRS-SISS implementation
• Pathology networks creation
A hospital is appointed to define the content standards and
structures of the documents for the respective network.
Pathology networks already exchange documents that are
based on structured data, and for future documents shared
in SISS are envisaged to consist of structured data.
15. eHealth strategy towards 2020
• Towards a patient-centred healthcare
system: the regional healthcare services is
currently moving towards a new model from
“hospital-centred” to “patient-centred”
services, tailored on citizens, oriented to a
better integration of the healthcare service on
the territory (2012-2020).
16. eHealth strategy towards 2020
• The scale and complexity of the SISS initiative requires
very careful planning and gradual implementation.
• The functionalities already in place generate a
respectable socio-economic return.
• Legislation has a direct impact on deployment of
functionalities and benefit realisation.
• The future potential of SISS lies in integration of HPOs
not yet part of the network, which are mainly private
sector providers, and expansion of functionalities to all
healthcare services.

17. eHealth strategy towards 2020
• The provision of medical information from as many
healthcare services and facilities as possible increases
the extent of benefits, especially regarding patient
safety. This, in turn increases the necessity for
healthcare professionals, both in GP practices and
hospitals, to actively integrate information sharing into
their clinical routine.
• The pathology networks already active of in the process
of establishment will both foster continuity of care and
impact health professionals’ attitude towards the
necessity of data exchange without local restrictions.

18. eHealth strategy towards 2020
• The main drivers for benefits are data sharing and
eBooking functionalities.
• Data sharing
• renders safer healthcare provision, especially in cases where
patients would otherwise not bring their referrals or discharge
letters;
• it allows for data validation and counter-checking of test results, for
preparation of consultations in advance, for the creation of new
healthcare models, and time savings and increased productivity.
• eBooking
• fosters HPOs’ resource planning and allocation,
• saves time and travel costs and
• makes scheduling much more convenient for patients.
19. eHealth strategy towards 2020
• Lessons learnt: the experience of the CRS-SISS
points out that such a complex eHealth projects call for:
• strong political commitment, robust legal and regulatory
frame, and long-lasting decision makers determination;
• a deep involvement of relevant stockholders mainly
professionals, healthcare organisations and industry;
• an evolutionary and self-adapting approach towards the
implementation of the ICT solutions.
