Title: Managing healthcare transformation towards personalized, preventive, predictive, participative precision medicine
Abstract:
For realizing pervasive and ubiquitous health and social care services, health and social care system have to undergo an organizational, methodological and technological transformation towards personalized, participative, preventive, predictive precision medicine. For designing and managing the resulting highly complex, distributed and dynamic ecosystem, we must consistently and formally represent the system and its components at the required level of granularity from the perspective of all actors from different domains including the subject of care, using different methodologies, knowledge, language and experiences. This must be done, using a system-theoretical, architecture-centered, ontology-based and policy-driven approach. Over the last 30 years, the author developed the necessary model and framework, which is meanwhile standardized as ISO 23903 Interoperability and Integration Reference Architecture. The approach has been defined as mandatory for any specification or project at ISO, CEN, IEEE, etc. addressing more than one domain. The presented approach enables design, implementation and management of any health and social care systems as well as knowledge-based communication and cooperation of all actors involved. The Keynote introduces necessary standards and methodologies for designing and managing 5P medicine ecosystems as well as practical examples.
Audience Take Away Notes:
• For managing healthcare transformation, we must integrate different actors from different domains, different standards and specifications as well as different products. The Keynote presents a meanwhile internationally standardized methodology to manage this challenge
• We must understand the healthcare ecosystem and related use cases in the specific context and from the perspective of the involved domain experts. Therefore, we have to advance from data focus to knowledge focus, solving the knowledge representation and management challenge for all domains and skill levels as well as all development process viewpoints
• The necessary foundations and principles are illustrated by practical examples
