To improve patient outcomes after trauma, the need to decrypt post-traumatic immune response has been identified. One prerequisite drive advancement in understanding that domain is implementation of surgical biobanks. This paper focuses on patients with one two diagnoses: arthritis and osteomyelitis. In creating biobanks, currently, many obstacles must be overcome. Roadblocks exist around scoping data collected, semantic integration these data. this paper, generic component model Semantic...

Social and behavioral aspects of our lives significantly impact health, yet minimal social determinants health (SDOH) data elements are collected in the healthcare system.In this proof-of-concept study we developed a repeatable SDOH enrichment integration process to incorporate dynamically evolving domain concepts from consumers into clinical data. This included mapping, linking compiled consumer patient records Electronic Health Records, quality analysis preprocessing, storage.Consumer...

Abstract Social and behavioral aspects of our lives significantly impact health, yet minimal social determinants health (SDOH) data elements are collected in the healthcare system. In this study we developed a repeatable SDOH enrichment integration process to incorporate dynamically evolving domain concepts from consumers into clinical data. This included mapping, linking compiled consumer data, quality analysis preprocessing, storage, visualization. Our preliminary shows commercial can be...
