“A privacy-preserving National Clinical Data Warehouse: Architecture and analysis”
(Volume 23, March 2022, 100238)
A prototype model of National Clinical Data Warehouse (NCDW) of Bangladesh has been proposed in this paper as a proof of concept. This research project is aimed to provide a privacy-preserved anonymous clinical data platform for researchers, analysts, medical practitioners, health care providers, and other beneficiaries by integrating the clinical data from heterogeneous sources of different public and private hospitals/diagnostic centers of Bangladesh. HIPAA guidelines and health data standardization (e.g. ICD-11, SNOMED CT) techniques has been followed to ensure interoperability and privacy preservation. The importance of the NCDW is diverse that can be used for predicting health risks and outcomes, analyzing health status from different perspectives (e.g. disease, geography, age, time-series), generating reports, and sharing data with health care providers/organizations to improve health care services.
