- Exploratory survey on the implementation status of the ESF and health document preservation services
- Drafting of the CDA Rel.2 HL7 Italia Implementation Guide
- Impact and challenges:
- Enable a consistent definition of document management processes and the meaningful reuse and exchange of clinical information for social, political, and scientific purposes.
- Efficient organization, management and exchange of clinical knowledge ensuring semantic interoperability of healthcare data
Optimizing the workflow and processes of the Electronic Health Record (EHR7)
- Period: 2018-2021
- Funds: AgID-CNR Agreement
- General objective: Optimization of the document management process within healthcare companies
- Drafting of the technical annex to the Guidelines on the preservation of digital healthcare documents

Integrated Terminology Service (STI)
- Period: November 2016 – December 2018
- Funds: AgID-CNR Agreement
- Partner: LINKS MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY S.p.A.
- General objective: To develop an Integrated Terminology Service in the form of a web service to facilitate the use, management and integration of clinical standards within the EHR that is:
- Based on the standard semantic interoperability protocol Common Terminology Services – Release 2 (CTS2) HL7;
- Open source;
- Scalable and extensible;
- Used as a common platform for updates of coding systems and terminologies used in the ESF context
Analyze PSS
- Period: February 2016 – September 2017
- Funds: AgID – CNR Agreement
- Partners: IIT-CNR, Bruno Kessler Foundation, Italian WHO Collaborating Center for the Family of Classifications
- Objective: To develop, within the EHR, a validation system to support GPs during the coding of the Summary Health Profile (SHP), in particular with regard to the coding in ICD-9-CM of the list of relevant problems, procedures and interventions.
- Compliance with the HL7 CDA Rel. 2.0 standard
- Based on the definition and formalization of coding rules
- Based on text similarity algorithms
It PSS:
promote continuity of care, allowing for rapid assessment of the patient when contacting the NHS, proving useful in emergency and first aid situations.
It summarises the patient’s medical history and current situation, facilitating the exchange of information between the various actors involved in the provision of healthcare services.

Carabinieri – Study, valorization and documentary research activities and descriptive and visualization technologies of cultural heritage
- Period: June 2019 – June 2021
- Partners: Carabinieri General Command, IIT-CNR, University of Calabria – Department of Cultures, Education and Society
- General objective: The Arma dei Carabinieri, in collaboration with the University of Calabria – Department of Cultures, Education and Society and the CNR-IIT, intend to initiate a collaborative relationship for the construction of a thesaurus, reorganization, classification, digitization and visualization in linked open data mode of documentary, iconographic and cartographic material available in the ARMA Historical Archive, held at the Historical Office and the Historical Museum of the Arma dei Carabinieri.
- Ongoing activity: Conversion of the Carabinieri subject list into a thesaurus
UniWebPancreas
The collaboration agreement between the UniPancreas non-profit association and the CNR Institutes IIT in Rende (CS) and ICAR in Naples aims to facilitate contact and monitoring of patients with pancreatic cancer through specialized telemedicine services. The goal of these activities is to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment by providing both professionals and patients with a system that provides constantly updated information for both diagnostic and research purposes.
The services will be offered through a web platform designed to facilitate the relationship between medical specialists and users, improving the exchange of documents and clinical data by providing remote assistance services and managing consistently structured clinical data.
Advantages of the platform:
- improve the right to access , that is, a patient’s right to access health services (patients who live in areas far from health services or who have difficulty moving from their home)
- ensure continuity of care, thus improving the quality of service (especially for chronic patients and for the possibility of accessing excellent services)
- making healthcare more effective, efficient and equitable (potentially reaching all patients, improving communication and coordination of care among members of a healthcare team)
- reduce health care spending
- improve treatment outcomes by being able to identify severe side effects early
