Representation Artifacts theory of reality theory of knowledge Ontology Ontologies Epistemology Information Models artifacts in which information is recorded A. Rector, SemanticHealth D6.1 theories that attempt to give precise mathematical formulations of the properties and relations of certain entities. (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Representation Artifacts Ontologies Information Models artifacts in which information is recorded A. Rector, SemanticHealth D6.1 Formal descriptions MRSA subtype-of SA SA subtype-of Staphylococcus SA implies bearer-of some MR quality Textual descriptions “MRSA is defined as SA for which methicillin has no toxic effect”  Clinically confirmed  Confirmed by antibiogram  Suspected  None  Unknown Methicillin resistance theories that attempt to give precise mathematical formulations of the properties and relations of certain entities. (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Representation Artifacts Ontologies Information Models artifacts in which information is recorded A. Rector, SemanticHealth D6.1 Formal descriptions MRSA subclass-of SA SA subclass-of Staphylococcus SA implies bearer-of some MR quality Textual descriptions “MRSA is defined as SA for which methicillin has no toxic effect”  Clinically confirmed  Confirmed by antibiogram  Suspected  None  Unknown Methicillin resistance Taxonomies Backbone of Ontologies SubClass or is-a relation: a class B is a subclass of a class A if and only if all members of B are also members of A (ENV 12264:2005, Horrocks 2003)

Taxonomy building principles Individuals (particulars, instances)

Taxonomy building principles Individuals (particulars, instances) Class

Taxonomy building principles Individuals (particulars, instances) Class Subclasses

Taxonomy building principles Individuals (particulars, instances) Class Subclasses is-a or subclass relation (relating classes with classes): corresponds to subset relation instance-of relation (relating individuals with classes) corresponds to set membership relation

Representation Artifacts Ontologies Information Models artifacts in which information is recorded A. Rector, SemanticHealth D6.1 Formal descriptions MRSA subtype-of SA SA subtype-of Staphylococcus SA implies bearer-of some MR quality Textual descriptions “MRSA is defined as SA for which methicillin has no toxic effect”  Clinically confirmed  Confirmed by antibiogram  Suspected  None  Unknown Methicillin resistance Taxonomies Backbone of Ontologies SubClass or is-a relation: a class B is a subclass of a class A if and only if all members of B are also members of A (ENV 12264:2005, Horrocks 2003) Classifications Taxonomies with additional building principles: - exhaustiveness - disjointness

Classifications: Disjointness principle Classifications, e.g. ICDOther Terminologies, e.g. SNOMED CT

Representation Artifacts Ontologies Information Models Taxonomies Classifications ICPS ?

Three components of ICPS 9.Hazard: a circumstance, agent or action with the potential to cause harm. 10.Circumstance: a situation or factor that may influence an event, agent or person(s). 11.Event: something that happens to or involves a patient. 12.Agent: a substance, object or system which acts to produce change. 13.Patient Safety: the reduction of risk of unnecessary harm associated with healthcare to an acceptable minimum. 14.Healthcare-associated harm: harm arising from or associated with plans or actions taken during the provision of healthcare, rather than an underlying disease or injury. 15.Patient safety incident: an event or circumstance which could have resulted, or did result, in unnecessary harm to a patient. “Conceptual Framework” “Key Concepts” ICPS "taxonomy"

Analyzing ICPS target of analysis: the ICPS tree… –graph structure: resemblance with WHO-FIC classifications (4 – 5 levels, single parents) –artifact meant to be used by coders key concepts and conceptual framework: meta information from user’s point of view 9.Hazard: a circumstance, agent or action with the potential to cause harm. 10.Circumstance: a situation or factor that may influence an event, agent or person(s). 11.Event: something that happens to or involves a patient. 12.Agent: a substance, object or system which acts to produce change. 13.Patient Safety: the reduction of risk of unnecessary harm associated with healthcare to an acceptable minimum. 14.Healthcare-associated harm: harm arising from or associated with plans or actions taken during the provision of healthcare, rather than an underlying disease or injury. 15.Patient safety incident: an event or circumstance which could have resulted, or did result, in unnecessary harm to a patient.

ICPS is in a strict sense not… … a taxonomy (ENV 12264:2005, Cornet 2006) Semantic nature of hierarchic links are not specified Subclass or is-a relation: a class B is a subclass of a class A if and only if all members of B are also members of A (ENV 12264:2005, Horrocks 2003) A member of the class Person Reporting is not a member of the class Discovery of Incident: No taxonomic link! But For every member of the class Discovery of Incident” there is some member of the class Person Reporting as a participant: non-taxonomic, ontological relation A member of the class Country is not a member of the class Where and no member of Discovery of Incident. No taxonomic link! But: for every member of the class Discovery of Incident” there is some member of the class Country as a location: non-taxonomic, ontological relation

ICPS is not yet… … a classification (ISO 17115:2007, Ingenerf MIM 1998, Madden [WHO-FIC] 2007) Criterion of mutually disjoint, exhaustive classes not fulfilled more than hundred ICPS concepts occur more than once in different hierarchies –Healthcare Professional occurs both as a child of People Involved and Person Reporting

Structure of the Talk ICPS: How does it look like? ICPS: What it isn’t ICPS: What it is now ICPS: What it may be in the future

What ICPS may be in the future After finishing, ICPS has the potential to be universally accepted as a reporting standard The ICPS “key concepts” may become a fully-fledged formal ontology rooted in existing upper-level ontologies and using Semantic Web standards (OWL) and being linked to ontological / terminological standards like SNOMED CT The ICPS “conceptual framework” can be enhanced by formal descriptions The ICPS reporting template ("taxonomy") may then be fully described in terms of ICPS’s ontological core but…

Open issues The needs for semantically interoperable patient-safety relevant event reporting is essentially different from the reporting of diseases For the latter, the format of a statistical classification is adequate (ICD-10) Is the format of a reporting template adequate for the purpose ICPS is devised for? Is it necessary to transform the ICPS tree into a real taxonomy or classification structure? Terms like “taxonomy”, “classification” should be used thoughtfully
