ProHTA-DBProject: Horizontale Innovationen zur Produkt- und
ProzessoptimierungSubproject: H-01: Prospective Health Technology Assessment Module: Information and Knowledge Database It is the approach of ProHTA to understand the impact of
products and solutions on medical and organizational
processes already at the beginning of the concept phase.
Thereby these processes can be prospectively optimized with
the health technologies’ innovative possibilities. By
integrating technology and processes in simulated scenarios,
impacts on health care players can be derived and analyzed
on a cost-efficiency basis. Finally conclusions can be drawn
regarding the innovation’s development as well as necessary
adaptations of the health care system in general. The
overall goal of ProHTA is the implementation of a platform
for scientific services at the disposal of the regional
health care manufacturers.
The platform accumulates, as already mentioned above,
knowledge and technical tools to answer two questions.
Adaptive evolutionary information systems are fundamental
for the success of ProHTA because the data storage
requirements will change over time. Data types that are
unknown today will turn out to be important for predicting
future scenarios. Early project assumptions will need to be
revised as our knowledge about prospective Health Technology
Assessment improves. Therefore, an adaptive approach to
store the collected data is required. Not only statistical
data has to be stored in a data base, but also metadata,
knowledge about health care processes and simulation models
should be stored in a structured way. In combination with a
modular system architecture a flexible approach also helps
to adapt the ProHTA system to other applications. Data
mining should be utilized to improve simulation quality and
find potentials for new health technologies.
In addition to the evolunionary aspect of data management, uncertainty management is an important issue for ProHTA.The uncertainty of simulation results highly depends on the uncerainty of simulation input parameters. Thus, propagating the uncertaintainty of input parameters is important in order to be able to adequately estimate the uncertainty of output parameters. In ProHTA we are also working on techniques enabling backward propagation of uncertainties. Thereby the goal is to govern data acquisition in a way that minimizes the uncertainty of the simulation output.
