What's inside Komet

  1. Overview of IKM Resource Library Volumes

    The IKM Open Source Project provides a comprehensive resource library divided into volumes covering healthcare knowledge management, terminology standardization, and data privacy. Key volumes include:

    • Volume 1: Introduction to IKM
    • Volume 2: IKM Book Background (interoperability of in vitro diagnostic test data)
    • Volume 3: IKM Overview (data loss and misinterpretation)
    • Volume 4: Terminology Knowledge Architecture (Tinkar) for harmonizing SNOMED CT®, LOINC®, and RxNorm
    • Volume 5: LOINC® clinical terminology system
    • Volume 6: Analysis Normal Form (ANF) for standardized clinical statements
    • Volume 7: Safety systems in clinical laboratories
    • Volume 9: Open-source software in healthcare IT
    • Volume 10: Patient Data Privacy and PHI (HIPAA)
    • Volume 11: Healthcare Data Management and EHR integration
    • Volume 12: Healthcare Quality Improvement via IKM and Tinkar
    • Volume 14: Emergency disaster response
    • Volume 15: Return on Investment (ROI) for IKM implementation

  2. Overview of Integrated Knowledge Management (IKM)

    Integrated Knowledge Management (IKM) is a framework designed to fuse healthcare terminology knowledge resources into a unified representation. It provides a collaborative environment for version control, standardized viewing, collaborative editing, and extension development, focusing on leveraging existing work to improve healthcare interoperability, clinical decision support, and patient outcomes.

  3. Overview of Komet open-source repositories

    Komet is an open-source application for collaborative health knowledge management and data harmonization. To build and run the program locally, multiple modules from the Integrated Knowledge Management (IKM) GitHub organization must be used and executed in a specific order.

    Key repositories include:

    • komet: The main project for harmonizing medical terminology and creating interoperable data.
    • build-parent: A Maven build parent providing shared compiling, code quality, and plugin configurations for child modules.
    • tinkar-schema: Contains Protobuf schema files and generates language-specific code packages for reading/writing Tinkar files.
    • tinkar-core: Provides primitive functionality, data types, cache management, and I/O (spined-array) for Komet.
    • yarn-code-quality-build-action: A composite GitHub action for executing code quality steps in yarn installations.
    • tinkar-starter-bindings: Starter bindings for Tinkar.
    • jpms-deps: JPMS dependencies.

  4. Overview of IKM project structure

    IKM is an open-source application for collaborative health knowledge management and data harmonization. It is structured as a monorepo containing multiple repositories. Because these repositories have dependencies on one another, they must be executed in a specific order to build and run the program successfully.

  5. Overview of Komet healthcare data harmonization tool

    Komet is an open-source tool designed to harmonize healthcare data standards. Its primary purpose is to reconcile various knowledge standards into a common data model to improve clinical decision support, enhance data collection reliability, and improve patient outcomes. It is designed to be modular and flexible, allowing it to integrate with existing infrastructure to improve data interoperability.

  6. Introduction to Komet for healthcare data standardization

    Komet is an open-source tool and platform developed as part of the Integrated Knowledge Management (IKM) initiative. Its primary purpose is to harmonize disparate healthcare terminologies and develop a common model to foster interoperable data. By unifying different terminologies, Komet aims to reduce redundant data entry, minimize human error, and prevent fragmented care, ultimately improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.

  7. Visualize hierarchical relationships in the Komet Interface

    Hierarchical relationships can be visualized using the 'Concept Navigator' and 'Pattern Navigator' tabs. These are located in the Navigation activity stream (left panel) or can be accessed via the '+' drop-down menu in the Detail Viewer (center panel).

    Key interactions:

    • Use arrows in the Navigation activity stream to collapse or expand relationships.
    • The Detail Viewer can display Description Semantics (with language/dialect), relationship destinations/origins, and EL++ stated terminological axioms.

  8. Analyze concept timeline properties in the Journal Interface

    To view and analyze the history of a concept in the Journal Interface:

    1. Click the green 'Time Travel' button in the concept window tool ribbon to open the Timeline panel.
    2. Use the three vertical dots in the Timeline panel to configure which data extensions are visible.
    3. Enable the 'Properties' toggle to open the Properties panel, which provides access to Edit, Hierarchy, History, and Comments views.
    4. Select the 'History' view to see event details for specific dots on the timeline.
    5. Enable the 'Range' toggle to select a specific time range; the History view will then filter to show only events within that range.
    6. Use the dropdown at the top of the History view to filter records by Concept, Description, or Axiom change events.

  9. Get started with IKM code contributions

    New contributors should begin by reviewing the Project Architecture and the README for environment setup, testing, and build instructions. To find accessible entry points for contribution, look for issues labeled as 'Beginner Issues' or 'Help Wanted'.

  10. View concept details in the Komet Interface

    To view a concept's details in the Komet Interface:

    1. Click or drag a concept into the Detail Viewer activity stream (typically the center panel).
    2. Use the tabs at the top of the Detail Viewer to access information such as description semantics.
    3. Use the '+' drop-down menu to add additional information tabs or re-open closed tabs.
    4. Select the preferred language and/or dialect for the concept display.

  11. Search for concepts in the Komet Interface

    To find a concept in the Komet Interface, use the Search activity stream (typically located in the right panel). Type the keyword or concept name into the 'enter search query' bar. Results containing the keyword will appear below the search bar with the matching keywords highlighted in green.

  12. Search and view concepts in the Journal Interface

    To find and view concepts using the Journal Interface:

    1. Click the magnifying glass in the global navigation menu (left) to open the search tray.
    2. Type the concept name and press Enter to see related results.
    3. Double-click a concept in the search results to open a concept details window to the right.
