To this, Data Integration Centers are set up at university medical centers, which address data harmonization, information security and data protection. To capture patient consent, a common informed consent template has been developed. It consists of different modules addressing permissions for using data and biosamples. On the technical level, a common digital representation of information from signed consent templates is needed. As the partners in the initiative are free to adopt different solutions for managing consent information (e.g. IHE BPPC or HL7 FHIR Consent Resources), we had to develop an interoperability layer.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>First, we compiled an overview of data items required to reflect the information from the MII consent template as well as patient preferences and derived permissions. Next, we created entity-relationship diagrams to formally describe the conceptual data model underlying relevant items. We then compared this data model to conceptual models describing representations of consent information using different interoperability standards. We used the result of this comparison to derive an interoperable representation that can be mapped to common standards.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The digital representation needs to capture the following information: (1) version of the consent, (2) consent status for each module, and (3) period of validity of the status. We found that there is no generally accepted solution to represent status information in a manner interoperable with all relevant standards. Hence, we developed a pragmatic solution, comprising codes which describe combinations of modules with a basic set of status labels. We propose to maintain these codes in a public registry called ART-DECOR. We present concrete technical implementations of our approach using HL7 FHIR and IHE BPPC which are also compatible with the open-source consent management software gICS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The proposed digital representation is (1) generic enough to capture relevant information from a wide range of consent documents and data use regulations and (2) interoperable with common technical standards. We plan to extend our model to include more fine-grained status codes and rules for automated access control.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12911-020-01138-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,5]],"date-time":"2020-06-05T19:02:50Z","timestamp":1591383770000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Towards a comprehensive and interoperable representation of consent-based data usage permissions in the German medical informatics initiative"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7398-5598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raffael","family":"Bild","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Bialke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Karoline","family":"Buckow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Ganslandt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Ihrig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Roland","family":"Jahns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Merzweiler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sybille","family":"Roschka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Bj\u00f6rn","family":"Schreiweis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"St\u00e4ubert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sven","family":"Zenker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Prasser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"1138_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gehring S, Eulenfeld R.
