Proyecto Multipaís: Research and development in the reuse of EHR in clinical research through openEHR and knowledge graphs.
The growing amount of clinical data in electronic format presents a great opportunity to enhance research and healthcare. However, much of this data in electronic health records (EHRs) is in free-text format, making it difficult to organize, ensure interoperability between systems, and consequently use in clinical research. Our project aims to address this issue by using standards […]

Definition of subsets of clinical concepts with the SNOMED CT Expression Constraint Language
The breadth of SNOMED CT, with over 360,000 clinical concepts, requires the definition of subsets of specific concepts to ensure their use in concrete scenarios, such as data entry and validation (for example, to ensure that recorded diagnoses are of a specific disease type, such as liver diseases), clinical protocols, data analysis and mining (for example, to filter cases where the patient […]
Tartaglia: Exploitation and Extension of the OMOP Common Data Model to Drive Artificial Intelligence and Precision Medicine
In Europe and Spain, large amounts of health data are stored, although these are often scattered across isolated systems, which hinders their effective use in clinical research and the development of artificial intelligence (AI) models. To address this situation, the main challenge is to build a collaborative and secure environment that allows health data to be shared collectively, ensuring that they remain in the […]
The goal of consulting in openEHR and FHIR: the efficiency of collaboration and our Webinar.
How do I know if I’m choosing the right standard? The question we face in most of the projects we start at Veratech is usually the same: What if I’m making the wrong choice by selecting a standard and investing money, but in the end, I should have made a different decision? This perspective is completely understandable, as these are decisions that [...]
Generación de Modelos Lógicos FHIR a partir de arquetipos: Un paso necesario para no reinventar la rueda
Transformar arquetipos en perfiles sobre recursos específicos (como Observation o Questionnaire) puede ser útil para integraciones rápidas. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los recursos restantes no son tan genéricos y tienen semántica clínica incluída en los mismos, lo que normalmente requiere que sea un humano el que tome esas decisiones de si un elemento en origen es equivalente a un atributo FHIR o no. En este caso, y para […]
Contributions of Veratech to the World of Interoperability: Reusing openEHR Knowledge in FHIR
There is a fundamental point we need to understand: each standard has its place in the complete solution to the interoperability problem. We must stop viewing standards as competitors and start thinking of them as puzzle pieces that fit together. This is our greatest and most challenging task: to make it clear that interoperability is a set of rules, not just a standard […]
