Title:A Vision for Health Informatics: Introducing the SKED Framework.An Extensible Architecture for Scientific Knowledge Extraction from Data
View PDFAbstract:The goals of the Triple Aim of health care and the goals of P4 medicine outline objectives that require a significant health informatics component. However, the goals do not provide specifications about how all of the new individual patient data will be combined in meaningful ways and with data from other sources, like epidemiological data, to promote the health of individuals and society. We seem to have more data than ever before but few resources and means to use it efficiently. We need a general, extensible solution that integrates and homogenizes data of disparate origin, incompatible formats, and multiple spatial and temporal scales. To address this problem, we introduce the Scientific Knowledge Extraction from Data (SKED) architecture, as a technology-agnostic framework to minimize the overhead of data integration, permit reuse of analytical pipelines, and guarantee reproducible quantitative results. The SKED architecture consists of a Resource Allocation Service to locate resources, and the definition of data primitives to simplify and harmonize data. SKED allows automated knowledge discovery and provides a platform for the realization of the major goals of modern health care.
