Abstract Details

2021, PHD, Kent State University, College of Communication and Information.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has revealed challenges and opportunities for data analytics, semantic interoperability, and decision making. The sharing of COVID-19 data has become crucial for leveraging research, testing drug effectiveness and therapeutic strategies, and developing policies for control, intervention, and potential eradication of this disease. Translating healthcare data between various clinical coding schemes is critical to their functioning, and semantic mappings must be established to ensure interoperability. Using design science research methodology as a guide, this work explains 1) how an ETL (Extract Transform Load) workflow tool could support the task of clinical coding scheme mapping, 2) how the mapping output from such a tool could support or affect annotation of clinical trials, particularly those used in COVID-19 research and 3) whether aspects of the socio-technical model could be leveraged to explain and assess mapping to achieve semantic interoperability in clinical coding schemes. Research outcomes include a reproducible and shareable artifact, that can be utilized beyond the domain of biomedicine in addition to observations and recommendations from the knowledge gained during the design and evaluation process of the artifact development.
