- A computational infrastructure for semantic data integration towards a patient-centered database for Tuberculosis carePublication . Lima, Vinícius Costa; Bernardi, Filipe Andrade; Domingues, Michael; Kritski, Afrânio Lineu; Rijo, Rui Pedro Charters Lopes; Alves, DomingosTuberculosis is an infectious disease that is among the top 10 causes of death in the world and Brazil ranks in the top 30 high TB burden countries. In this scenario, data integration and sharing are crucial to the construction of efficient and effective evidence-based decision-making tools and to enable data-driven research. Through a socio-technical approach, this work proposes a computational infrastructure composed of a functional and semantic interoperability layer and security mechanisms to integrate national level health information systems towards a patient-centered unified database to provide a broad view of a patient across several isolated databases. The CMIID, a medical information identifier for data harmonization, developed by the University of Porto, was used for the linkage of patients across these health information systems and to perform records anonymization for privacy of personal health information. Through the integration of such systems, it is possible to gather, summarize and visualize TB data in a single system, which can be useful for health professionals and managers. Therefore, this work sought to promote the integration of disparate systems and the availability of data to support decision-making and research, which are fundamental for improving the quality of TB services in Brazil.
