Trillium II /Focus workshop at Informatics for Health2017: Manchester, April 24-27, 2017
Frailty is an age-related state of vulnerability to the risk of adverse health out-comes after a stressor event. The condition predisposes individuals to progressive decline in different functional domains, leading to falls and fractures, disability and dependency on others, hospitalization, institutional placement and ultimately death. We discuss drivers, challenges and opportunities for healthcare information standards related to frailty in old age in an effort to launch a call for coordinated action across research, policy, and academia. Key issues are selected as the back-drop for this discussion: EHR, patient summaries and frailty in a context of coor-dinated care enabled by health IT standards.

• Tools and services using ICTs that can
improve cross border Healthcare
services.
• Use Cases:
– Patient Summary, provides access
for health professionals to verified
key health data of a patient during
an unplanned care encounter while
abroad
– ePrescription, enables patients to
receive equivalent medication
treatment while abroad to what they
would receive in their home country
4. Advancing Standards and Profiles
Today:
• Massive health data accumulated in silo EHR systems serving documentation.
• We need to move from passive documentation to active use of information and knowledge creation:
activation!
• Patient summaries defined at the macro level: cross-border exchange for emergency or unplanned
care at government level.
• Move to meso and micro level to address communities and individuals.
Shaping the future: Focus on the top level: systems of innovation.

A TALE IN SEVERAL ACTS
How is responsibility managed among all care professionals (doctors, nurses, social
workers, informal caregivers, care managers etc.)
What information about the patient health status would be required to ensure efficient
professional help along the entire pathway?
What information about the patient is necessary to assure a smooth transfer among different
health care entities?
What kind of data should the patient summary provide to optimize care in planned and every
day settings?
What kind of data on frailty status is necessary if any?
International patient summary (IPS) standards consistently adapted and localized to serve the needs of specific use cases are essential to attaining of vision of the patient summary as a social good and human right.
The Trillium Bridge project compared patient summary specifications in Europe and the United States and demonstrated the technical feasibility of accessing and transforming patient summaries to a suitable format in situations of emergency or unplanned care.
Trillium II builds on the recommendations of Trillium Bridge and places IPS standards at the core of a global community for digital health innovation with the aim to advance patient safety & trust by bridging the gap between strategic intent and capability to deliver interoperability at a global scale.
