SALUS: Scalable, Standard based Interoperability Framework for Sustainable Proactive Post Market Safety Studies

SALUS aims to facilitate resuse of EHRs for enabling pro-active post market safety studies through providing functional and semantic interoperability profiles and supporting open source toolsets enabling EHR systems and clinical research systems to communicate and exchange EHR data and meaningful interpretation of the exchanged EHR data. Implementing security and privacy mechanisms and open source toolsets are also essential ensuring that clinical information is shared in an ethical and safe way. Finally SALUS aims to provide a novel exploratory analysis framework for open-ended temporal pattern discovery for safety studies on top of disparate, distributed, heterogeneous EHR Systems.
