Tools, Services and Frameworks
Required:
• Eucalyptus, Amazon EC2, or another cloud provider
• OSGi Implementation (Equinox, Felix, Knopflerfish, etc)
• Apache CXF Distributed OSGi
• Apache Zookeeper
Optional:
• Pax Runner
• Hybridfox, Elasticfox, or another EC2 API GUI
What is Cloud Computing?
• Utility Computing• Virtualized Resources• Dynamic Scaling
“Clouds are a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources (such as hardware, development platforms and/or services). These resources can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust to a variable load (scale), allowing also for an optimum resource utilization. This pool of resources is typically exploited by a pay-per-use model in which guarantees are offered by the Infrastructure Provider by means of customized SLAs.” ~ L.M. Vaquero, et. al.

Challenges in Adopting EHR for the Cloud• Security• Storage• Transmission• Access Control
• Privacy• Confidentiality• Anonymization
• Standard Compliance• CCR• CCD• DICOM
• Legal Compliance• HIPAA• PIPEDA/PHIPA
• Compatibility• With existing EHR systems• With cloud architecture
DOSGi, a Starting Point• OSGi
• Service platform• Module system• Service registry• Java based
• Apache CXF Distributed OSGi• Reference implementation of OSGi remote services specification• OSGi services exposed as SOAP or RESTful web services• Remote discovery service via Apache ZooKeeper

EHR via DOSGi
• Patient health summary standard• Contains core health information about a patient:
• Social History• Medications• Immunizations• Vital signs• Procedures• Insurance information• Allergies• etc
• XML document• Human and computer readable• Can be easily anonymized by removing actors section• XSL transformation available to transform CCR to HTML• Already used in many EHR systems including Google Health and Microsoft Healthvault
Continuity of Care Record (CCR)
Example CCR after XSL transformation
Example CCR<ContinuityOfCareRecord xmlns='urn:astm-org:CCR'> <CCRDocumentObjectID>Doc</CCRDocumentObjectID> <Language> <Text>English</Text> </Language> <Version>V1.0</Version> <DateTime> <ExactDateTime>2008</ExactDateTime> </DateTime> <Patient> <ActorID>Patient</ActorID> </Patient> <Body> <VitalSigns> <Result> <CCRDataObjectID>0001</CCRDataObjectID> <Description> <Text>Blood Pressure</Text> </Description> <Test> <CCRDataObjectID>0002</CCRDataObjectID> <Description> <Text>Systolic</Text> <Code> <Value>163030003</Value> <CodingSystem>SNOMEDCT</CodingSystem> </Code> </Description> <TestResult> <Value>120</Value> <Units> <Unit>mmHg</Unit> </Units> </TestResult>

Simple Demo• Run on Lakehead’s private Eucalyptus cloud• Using Hybridfox to launch machine instances
Hybridfox
Lakehead University's private cloud computing testbed
Simple Demo
Future Work• Secure communications between services and consumers
• Possible Solutions:• Availability/Security Zones• Patch to Apache CXF DOSGi to support web service calls over https• Tunnels between machine instances• XML Encryption
• Roll based authentication for services• Possible Solutions:
• Distributed authentication service
• Secure storage on the cloud• Possible Solutions:
• Encryption• Record anonymization
• Record synchronization• More stanards support:
• Continuity of Care Document (CCD)• DICOM images• etc
