Medical Roles/Permissions Ontology Ping Wang Tetherless World Constellation Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Outline • Introduction • Research question • Approach • Related Work • Status • Hope to learn
Introduction • Health information technology can allow clinicians to have real-time access to complete patient data, and provide them with support to make the best possible decisions. [1] • The impact of IT on healthcare has so far been modest. [1] http://www.cahealthit.com/
Research question • Achieve fine-grained control of EHRs (Electronic Health Record) via semantic technologies • Fine-grained: roles, the permissions of roles vary from time/place to time/place • Semantic technologies: ontology, reasoner, triple-store
Approach • 1. Survey related works • 2. Use Case Design • 3. Categorize and assimilate data • 4. Design the architecture of the system and the ontologies needed • 5. Implementation of the system • 6. Evaluate the system
Related Work 1: ROWLBAC [2] • ROWLBAC - Representing Role Based Access Control in OWL • Two different ways to support the RBAC(Role Based Access Control) model in OWL. • Approach 1: Roles as Classes • Approach 2: Roles as Values
Advantage of approach1 • queries about a particular access request and queries about a general class of access requests can be answered efficiently using a standard DL reasoner • Advantage of approach2 • the specification is simpler and more concise
Related Work 2: An Analysis of Roles [3] • Gives a broad scope of roles • Roles in ontologies, • ER (Entity Relationship) Modeling, • Object Oriented Modeling, • Agent Oriented Modeling, • Object Process Methodology • Roles VS classes, entities, responsibilities/functions, positions
A context-Centered Approach to Roles • A application: roles in SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) • The sop is for professionals involved in carrying out clinical trials
Related Work 3: RIM [4] • RIM (Reference Information Model) from HL7 • a large, pictorial representation of the HL7 clinical data (domains) • identifies the life cycle that a message or groups of related messages will carry • a shared model between all domains • the model from which all domains create their messages
Critiques • Unclarity: "Act" • Where are diseases • HL7 datastores inaccessible to the DL-based reasoners because of the many ‘flavors of null’.
Status • Have done partial survey • Next steps: • Continue the survey • Determine the scope of the project
Hope to learn • Knowledge modeling via ontologies • Data access rules about HER • More semantic technologies: • rdf, owl, jena, pellet
