Trillium Bridge Project: a feasibility study and builder perspective…
The problem The Solution
• What can we do to lower the cost of transatlantic business engagement in eHealth?
– Reduce barriers for transatlantic coordination, health care, trade
– Decrease standards development and implementation costs
– Accelerate convergence towards global standards
– Support right of citizens to their health data and safety
• Well, perhaps we could try building.. …a Transatlantic Bridge for EHR summaries!
• Pragmatic Feasibility study on the exchange of Patient Summaries across the Atlantic
• Compare, analyze, and map EU/US EHR patient summaries starting with Meaningful Use 2 C-CDA/CCD and EU patient summaries (epSOS)
• July 2013 to June 2015
• Stellar consortium of EU member state provider networks, associations, SDOs
Trillium Bridge: where are we?
Trillium Bridge: methodology
Building the Transatlantic bridge for EHR patient summaries
• Complete Gap analysis
• User stories, use cases, business architecture, D2.2
• Identify interoperability Assets
– Established STS terminologyservice associating EU/US terms, D3.1
– proof of concept transformer of EHR structures and semantics, D3.2
• Inform and support standardization efforts
– ground work of an Intl EHR patient summary
– Aligning infrastructure, D4.1
• Refine assets, work on the puzzle through validation
– Test with EU countries and US providers, D4.2
– Set the tone and pace for interoperability
in the global eHealth ecosystem, D5.1, 5.2

Patient Summaries in Spain
– In Spain, most Communities (regions) produce PS
• HCDSNS Project communicates individual community PS
• Requirements of PS consolidation are being studied
• > 15 million citizens have PS available (April 2015)
• Source EHR coverage very high at Primary & Family Care
• Source EHR coverage is less advanced in hospitals
– Trillium Bridge acts as a conceptual prototype for:
• Standards adoption
• Functional design (clinician-oriented & safety-aware)
• Technical implementation (messaging-oriented & integrity)
• Actual communications still not feasible

Patient Summaries in Spain
Future Prospects:
– Agreement levels: EU-USA, bilateral, patient led
– All-bilingual approach
– Multilingual terminologies go mainstream
– “Convincing” industry about business added value of PS will require proof of feasibility and large-scale adoption
– Population coverage measuring will be essential
– Trillium Bridge documents may guide and teach
– Testing and validating requirements
– Automated generation for all citizens
– Stimulus for standards adoption
– Solving practical legal issues
– Complete semantic units approach
– Opportunities to innovate
Trillium Bridge fits eHealth Strategy:
THE PORTUGUESE BRIDGE...
The last American Census (2000) estimated a total of 1.173.691
Portuguese and luso-americans residing in USA
There are 95 Portuguese citizens/luso-americans in active political activity,
and more than 385 portuguese collectivities (cultural, recreational,
religious)*
* - Portuguese presidency website data
Portugal is fashionable in 1º Semester of 2014, American tourism in
Portugal was of about 227 million Euros, 47,8MEuros more than in 2013
(26,7% increase in 1 year). 156100 in 6 months individuals, which is
about 3548000 hotel nights (21,8% increase) tourists in Portugal *
Number of residents perhaps more than 5000?;

Technical Implementation
09/06/14 11
• International Projects
• Represent the fastest and secure way to learn from experience and lessons learnt. Belonging and actively participating in EU projects allow our teams to learn from example and improve our technical & semantic implementation skills.
• Trillium Bridge
• Represents the opportunity for explore possible solutions towards cross Atlantic health information exchange, namely what concerns PS structures and terminologies used. It also represents the right opportunity to push forward unfulfilled gaps left by epSOS in what concerns to PAC service (e.g. export and import, transformation EU-US)
• Piloted Uses Cases• Provider Mediated
• Patient Mediated
Luxembourg
• Some facts
ca. 550.000 Inhabitants
Largest foreign national community in EU (45%)
ca. 155.000 Commuters(FR/BE/GE)

Questions and Answers…
• How does Trillium Bridge fit with the eHealth strategy of your country?
– By definition the eHealth Strategy of Luxembourg is cross border enabled
– 45% of residents are expatriates
– Luxembourg hosts many EU institutions
• How do Patient Summaries and Trillium Bridge work in your country?
– Patient Summaries are part of the national strategy
– The size of Luxembourg make it a perfect reference implementation and Large scale pilot
– Trillium provides guidance on solving legal and organizational issues
• What are the prospects you see for the future?
– Patient mobility will increase
– Patient engagement is part of EU and US strategies
– Trillium Bridge will enforce the patient role in his care both planned or unplanned
Giving value to Trillium scenarios
• Healthcare Provider Mediated Scenario
– Trillium Gateway is reference implementation that proves that healthcare information exchange based on Standards is possible
– Patient summary is a valid start especially for unplanned care
– Trillium Bridge has worked on creating an international patient summary dataset that can be populated by globally accepted encounter reports.
• Patient Mediated Scenario
– Involving the patient is the first step to establish the Gateway
– Trillium Gateway would enable a “Blue Button enabled” strategy for US expatriates to Europe and beyond
– Legal and organizational issues can be bypassed by the direct consent of the patient.

Having a global vision for citizens on the move
• Accommodate new business models
– Create an interoperable “healthcare e-passport” service
– Establish a global encounter report format compliant to standard based patient summaries
– Patient outsourcing
– Patient mobility –
• break the m-health information silos
– Focus on prevention
and information flow
• Technology is not a barrier
