Research on the Security Protocol Under the Health Code System

In response to the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia- "COVID-19" in 2019, the health code is widely used in China as an effective means of epidemic prevention and testing. The information security issues among the health code have important research significance. This paper proposes a set of security protocols based on the existing cryptographic theory system, the information security issues of health codes will also be discussed in depth on this basis. In the study, some problems with the use of health code was explained and solutions were proposed. © VDE VERLAG GMBH - Berlin - Offenbach.

Making science computable: Developing code systems for statistics, study design, and risk of bias.

The COVID-19 crisis led a group of scientific and informatics experts to accelerate development of an infrastructure for electronic data exchange for the identification, processing, and reporting of scientific findings. The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard which is overcoming the interoperability problems in health information exchange was extended to evidence-based medicine (EBM) knowledge with the EBMonFHIR project. A 13-step Code System Development Protocol was created in September 2020 to support global development of terminologies for exchange of scientific evidence. For Step 1, we assembled expert working groups with 55 people from 26 countries by October 2020. For Step 2, we identified 23 commonly used tools and systems for which the first version of code systems will be developed. For Step 3, a total of 368 non-redundant concepts were drafted to become display terms for four code systems (Statistic Type, Statistic Model, Study Design, Risk of Bias). Steps 4 through 13 will guide ongoing development and maintenance of these terminologies for scientific exchange. When completed, the code systems will facilitate identifying, processing, and reporting research results and the reliability of those results. More efficient and detailed scientific communication will reduce cost and burden and improve health outcomes, quality of life, and patient, caregiver, and healthcare professional satisfaction. We hope the achievements reached thus far will outlive COVID-19 and provide an infrastructure to make science computable for future generations.
