Overview • DebugIT: Detecting and Eliminating Bacteria UsinG Information Technology • Dedicated to infectious diseases • Aims: • detecting patient safety related patterns and trends • acquiring new knowledge • using this for better quality healthcare • Consortium of eleven partners across the EU • Strong clinical lead assured by • Clinical Advisory Board (President: Prof. Dr. Didier Pittet, HUG, Geneva; World Alliance for Patient Safety, World Health Organisation) • Scientific Advisory Board
Objectives • Built an advanced tool aiming at infectious pathogens across health systems and levels • Integrate it into clinical information systems of participating European hospitals • Develop generic conceptual base that can be easily expanded to other similar medical fields • Make the tool publicly available
Why infectious diseases ? Advanced ICTfor Risk Assessment and Patient Safety project -> main focus on advanced ICT Risk assessment and patient safety on a 4 years project -> a coherent choice: infectious diseases usually short life cycles measurable results data available on the whole range of semantic and technical complexity lab results, order entry, structured text, free text, images hot topic for public health and clinical research can provide decision support for research, clinicians and governance
Clinical context Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection Antibiotic action is urgently needed to respond to environmental pressure: Patterns of antibiotic usage greatly affect the number of resistant organisms which develop Overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics Incorrect diagnosis Unnecessary prescriptions Improper use of antibiotics Use of antibiotics as livestock food additives for growth promotion Counterfeit drugs
Clinical context antibiotic resistance in Salmonella typhimurium DT104, England and Wales, 1984-1995 WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record, Vol 71, No 18, 1996
Main focus for Y2: “Closing the Loop As Soon As Possible” Interoperability platform (WP1) Data Normalization (WP2) • Data Analysis (WP3) • Knowledge extraction (WP3/WP4) • Knowledge authoring (WP4) • Inference tools (WP5) • Clinical decision-support (WP6)
Iterative Cycle collect routinely stored data from clinical systems learn by applying advanced data mining techniques store the extracted knowledge in repositories apply knowledge for decision support and monitoring
Collect – clinical data repository Routinely stored clinical data is collected and aggregated across hospitals countries languages information models legislations via commonly agreed data models (minimal data sets) standards mapping algorithms unified and enhanced ontologies Collect
Learn – multimodal data mining detect relevant patterns advanced data mining techniques on multimodal & multi-source data structured data mining text mining image mining create new knowledge using advanced multimodal knowledge-driven data mining Collect Learn
Store – medical knowledge repository knowledge is stored in a distributed repository validated by clinicians visualised and aggregated together with pre-existing medical and biological knowledge (guidelines, regulations) a consolidated organization in the knowledge repository Collect Learn Store
Apply – decision support tools software tools integrated in clinical and public health information systems decision support tools apply generated knowledge help clinicians to provide clinical care example: choice, dose and administration of antibiotics predict future outcomes monitoring tools for research epidemiology health policy Collect Apply Learn Store
Translational and evidence based medicine • DebugIT is a nice example of translational medicine and evidence based medicine • clinical care uses knowledge and evidences from research(bench to bed) • research uses real life clinical data (bed to bench) • access to huge amounts of real-world data is a welcome addition to expensive traditional clinical studies Collect Apply Learn Store

Data integration via database federation SQL endpoint • First implementation using low performance machine: • Many problems with performance • Constant use of disk temporary tables, indexes problems (losing key because disk was full) • Change to a better server with 8 GB of memory, 4 processors, SCSI drivers: • Query speed has improved significantly • Complex queries between 2 centres executed in ~1 min HUG INSERM LiU AVERBIS Ready Almost ready Good progress

SQL endpoint: multiple site visualization SQL Demonstration of CDR: query distributed between LiU and HUG Yearly resistance of Ecoli to TMP/SMX HUG LiU
Interoperability • Language independent formal vocabulary as input for data analysis & data mining • Formal semantics and textual descriptions to precisely describe abstracted meanings • Extraction of heterogeneous structured and unstructured EPR content • Semantic standard for project-wide information Clinical Data Repository Formalism
Data mining • Data aggregation from heterogeneous sources • Management of data quality and reliability • Integration and mining of multimodal data, including images • Knowledge-driven data mining • Advanced data mining, (bio)statistics, signal theory, lexical analysis and ontological analysis • Multi-axial mining, temporal, multimodal, case and cohort base
Knowledge and inference • Federated knowledge repository • heterogeneous sources, variable level of certainty • representation of knowledge and rules • Reasoning • statistical + logical • performance • formalism and decidability • reliability for case based decision support
Impact assessment framework Project evaluation • impact on scientific community • impact on EC initiatives • ... Outcome assessment • cost benefit analysis • clinical impact (DSS) • technology What to measure & why How to measure What to measure & why How to measure Measurements Indicators Data collection methods Measurements Indicators Data collection methos
Project evaluation • Impact on scientific community • Value of individual project outputs • Transferability to other research areas • Type of scientific progress achieved • Impact on research capacity • Impact on efficiency of future research • Impact on scientific & technological objectives of EC initiatives with regards to: • Macroeconomic development • Private Sector (Industry & SMEs) • Research initiatives • Health Sector / eHealth
Outcome assessment • Clinical and socio-economic impact assessment based on benefit & cost analysis • Identification of positive (benefits) & negative (costs) impacts to all relevant stakeholders • Quantification in terms of monetary units in order to derive total net benefit for society • Development of individual scenarios based on life cycle approach, time horizons, and diffusion speed • Capturing uncertainty/risk and prospective nature of analysis
Risk & uncertainty • Range of probable outcomes: • 99% • 90% • Mean
Summary • Focus on large existing, heterogeneous clinical data repositories • Building an interoperability platform that is usable for the whole infectious domain • Creation of a federated clinical data repository that enables knowledge-driven data mining • Leverage of patient data with existing knowledge and merger into a clinical knowledge repository • Exploitation of newly generated knowledge with a clinical decision support system to loop back to clinical practice • Serious advance in building a large IT infrastructure creating knowledge in the fight against infectious diseases • Reusable for other diseases and contexts
