Countries around the world are addressing this through the consolidation and integra tion of siloed patient healthcare records into a unified system. However\, consolidation and advances in technology that generate healthcare data th reaten to overload clinicians with information. This makes the usability o f healthcare data in terms of speed of access and relevancy that is optimi zed to the role of the clinician and healthcare scenario\, key to the succ ess of the unified healthcare system. My research objective is to design a nd demonstrate a solution\, that provides clinicians with a superior exper ience that provides them with the most relevant data for the current needs of the patient in order to determine and apply the best treatment in a ti mely manner\, using Semantic Web and Blockchain technology to support pati ent privacy and role based access and permission controls.\n\nCorda Blockc hain as a Sustainable Supply Chain for Open Education:\n\nBlockchain solut ions are disrupting the established supply chains. The ability to customiz e the transaction in the “business context” is one of the key reasons why blockchain will play a major role in reinventing the existing rigid su pply chains. In this presentation\, we are going to look at\n\nCorda block chain features that enable powerful supply chains capable of supporting ne w business models. We are going to build a case of why such a disruption i s needed in the publishing industry to support the Open Education and High er Education Affordability Act. The open education licences require proper attribution of contributors. One of the challenges in open education is t hat licences can be easily misused by 3-rd party content purveyors. In add ition\, content creators often do not know where and how their content is being used. It is impossible for content creators to measure the impact of their works or to prevent licence misuse. Universities\, professors\, ret ail bookstores\, libraries and 3rd party higher education platforms consti tute a complex ecosystem. In this ecosystem\, real barriers are causing sc aling issues. The issues include content findability\, compliance\, licenc e misuse\, licence rigidity and proliferation of licence types and lack of interoperability for licences. The presentation will outline a Corda base d supply chain and Information Retrieval to addresses these issues. Provid ing a decentralized platform for independent players in a system to reduce the complexity of transacting. Mainly by using smart contracts to manage licence agreement workflows. Scalability\, data privacy and data traceabil ity are key considerations in the Corda blockchain which can be leveraged to support a sustainable business model and healthy ecosystems.\n\nSpeaker (s): Steve Delaney\, Iwona Sokalska\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee .org/m/246971 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/246971 ORGANIZER:ayda.naserialiabadi@ryerson.ca SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Improving Data Usability for Clinicians and First Responders in a U nified Healthcare System & Corda Blockchain as a Sustainable Supply Chain for Open Education URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/246971 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Improving Data Usability for Clini cians and First Responders in a Unified Healthcare System</strong></p>\n<p >Cost effective\, efficient and exemplary healthcare services is of paramo unt importance to all Canadians.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Countries around the world are addressing this through the consolidation and integration of siloed pa tient healthcare records into a unified system.&nbsp\; However\, consolida tion and advances in technology that generate healthcare data threaten to overload clinicians with information.
