This paper describes Salus, a block store that seeks to maximize simultaneously both scalability and robustness. Salus provides strong end-to-end correctness guarantees for read operations, strict ordering guarantees for write operations, and strong durability and availability guarantees despite a wide range of server failures (including memory corruptions, disk corruptions, firmware bugs, etc....

With this work, we demonstrate SALUS Patient History Tool which presents patient summaries to the clinical researcher by retrieving the values of the patient data fields from the semantic instances which come in the form of SALUS Common Information Model. The tool makes use of the SALUS Common Data Elements to extract the corresponding data from the semantic instance before presenting to the re...

Consumer devices are increasingly being used to perform security and privacy critical tasks. The software used to perform these tasks is often vulnerable to attacks, due to bugs in the application itself or in included software libraries. Recent work proposes the isolation of security-sensitive parts of applications into protected modules, each of which can be accessed only through a predefined...

Integration profiles collaboratively developed by CDISC and IHE for integrating data from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) with clinical research and pharmacovigilance are limited to resolving lexical/syntactic data integration issues and do not address semantic barriers. This paper describes the collaboration between two European projects - EHR4CR and SALUS - in implementing ISO/IEC 11179-base...

This work aims to demonstrate the interoperability framework developed in the SALUS project which enables effective integration and utilization of EHR data to reinforce post-market safety activities.

SALUS aims to facilitate resuse of EHRs for enabling pro-active post market safety studies through providing functional and semantic interoperability profiles and supporting open source toolsets enabling EHR systems and clinical research systems to communicate and exchange EHR data and meaningful interpretation of the exchanged EHR data. Implementing security and privacy mechanisms and open sou...
