Abstract
This paper describes the Access Risk Knowledge (ARK) platform and ontologies for socio-technical risk analysis using the Cube methodology. Linked Data is used in ARK to integrate qualitative clinical risk management data with quantitative operational data and analytics. This required the development of a novel clinical safety management taxonomy to annotate qualitative risk data and make it more amenable to automated analysis. The platform is complemented by other two ontologies that support structured data capture for the Cube sociotechnical analysis methodology developed by organisational psychologists at Trinity College Dublin. The ARK platform development and trials have shown the benefits of a Semantic Web approach to flexibly support data integration, making qualitative data machine readable and building dynamic, high-usability web applications applied to clinical risk management. The main results so far are a self-annotated, standards-based taxonomy for risk and safety management expressed in the W3C’s standard Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS) and a Cube data capture, curation and analysis platform for clinical risk management domain experts. The paper describes the ontologies and their development process, our initial clinical safety management use case and lessons learned from the application of ARK to real-world use cases. This work has shown the potential for using Linked Data to integrate operational and safety data into a unified information space supporting more continuous, adaptive and predictive clinical risk management.
