Abstract
Presented are concepts for provisioning an instance of a data repository. A domain model specification is obtained, the domain model specification comprising: an entity definition defining an entity of a data repository to be provisioned; and an operation definition defining one or more operations to be supported by the data repository to be provisioned. An instance of a data repository is generated based on the entity definition and operation definition of the domain model specification.
Claims15
An apparatus for provisioning an instance of a clinical data repository, the apparatus comprising:
- a data acquisition unit configured to obtain a domain model specification, the domain model specification comprising an entity definition defining an entity of a clinical data repository to be provisioned, and an operation definition defining searching parameters of a search operation to be supported by the clinical data repository to be provisioned, wherein the searching parameters relate to a plurality of resources so as to support a composite search query;
- and
- a processing unit configured to generate an instance of the clinical data repository based on the entity definition and the operation definition of the domain model specification, wherein the instance of the clinical data repository is configured to normalize clinical data relating to one or more patients according to the searching parameters and the search operation defined by the operation definition such that the instance of the clinical data repository is automatically optimized for real-time specific in-workflow analytics relative to the searching parameters and the search operation;
- wherein the data acquisition unit comprises:
- an input interface configured to receive, from a user, an input signal representative of at least one of the entity definition and the operation definition;
- and
- a specification unit configured to generate the domain model specification based on the input signal received from the user;
- wherein the generated instance of the clinical data repository comprises a normalized part that is optimized according to the operation definition and an entity-based part having one or more attributes defined by the entity definition to automatically optimize the search operation, and
- wherein the generated instance of the clinical data repository further comprises a service interface configured to implement the search operation defined by the operation definition.

A method for provisioning an instance of a clinical data repository, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, an input signal via an input interface, the input signal being representative of at least one of an entity definition and an operation definition;
- generating a domain model specification based on the input signal received from the user, the domain model specification comprising an entity definition defining an entity of a clinical data repository to be provisioned, and an operation definition defining a search operation to be supported by the clinical data repository to be provisioned, wherein the search operation defines one or more searching parameters for relating to a plurality of resources so as to support a composite search query;
- and
- generating an instance of the clinical data repository based on the entity definition and the operation definition of the domain model specification, wherein the instance of the clinical data repository is configured to normalize clinical data relating to one or more patients according to the searching parameters and the search operation defined by the operation definition such that the instance of the clinical data repository is automatically optimized for real-time specific in-workflow analytics relative to the searching parameters and the search operation;
- wherein the generated instance of the clinical data repository comprises a normalized part that is optimized according to the operation definition and an entity-based part having one or more attributes defined by the entity definition to automatically optimize the search operation, and
- wherein the generated instance of the clinical data repository further comprises a service interface configured to implement the search operation defined by the operation definition.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for provisioning an instance of a clinical data repository that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a user, an input signal via an input interface, the input signal being representative of at least one of an entity definition and an operation definition;
- generate a domain model specification based on the input signal received from the user, the domain model specification comprising an entity definition defining an entity of a clinical data repository to be provisioned, and an operation definition defining a search operation to be supported by the clinical data repository to be provisioned, wherein the search operation defines one or more searching parameters for relating to a plurality of resources so as to support a composite search query;
- and
- generate an instance of the clinical data repository based on the entity definition and the operation definition of the domain model specification, wherein the instance of the clinical data repository is configured to normalize clinical data relating to one or more patients according to the searching parameters and the search operation defined by the operation definition such that the instance of the clinical data repository is automatically optimized for real-time specific in-workflow analytics relative to the searching parameters and the search operation;
- wherein the generated instance of the clinical data repository comprises a normalized part that is optimized according to the operation definition and an entity-based part having one or more attributes defined by the entity definition to automatically optimize the search operation, and wherein the generated instance of the clinical data repository further comprises a service interface configured to implement the search operation defined by the operation definition.
