Interoperability Challenges in CDSS: From Data to Design to Practice (XtraTrack Season 2026)

20-04-2026

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are increasingly developed to support decision-making, yet their use in routine practice remains limited. Interoperability plays a central role in bridging this gap, but it occurs on multiple levels - from data integration to system architecture to clinical practice uptake. This presentation explores the value of interoperable data, the design of interoperable CDSS architectures, and the current barriers and facilitators affecting CDSS use in clinical practice.

Prof. Dr. Antje Wulff, - Big Data in Medicine, University Medicine Oldenburg, Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Antje Wulff completed her B. Sc. degree in Business Information Systems in cooperation with IBM Deutschland GmbH at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in Stuttgart. She worked as an assistant to the IBM Healthcare & Pharma/Life Science Leader, in IT project management at a large German health insurance company and in the business analytics area in London (UK). After graduating at the top of her class and fully inspired by the work in healthcare, she continues with her Master's studies at the TU Braunschweig, majoring in Medicine and Health at the Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics (PLRI). She stringently pursued her way by working as a research assistant at the Hannover Medical School in the areas of clinical decision-support, clinical data repositories and reuse of clinical data. She obtained her doctorate in 2021 on "Cross-Institutional and Data-Driven Decision-Support for Intensive Care Environments". Her research focuses on the extraction, modelling, integration, exchange and analysis of medical data and the development of interoperable clinical decision-support systems. Wulff worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Hannover Medical School, where one of her projects was awarded with the Lower Saxony Health Award. Wulff has been assistant professor since March 2022 and full W2-professor for “Big Data in Medicine” at the Department of Health Services Research of the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg since 2024. Wulff is enthusiastic about the many opportunities for the further development and research of new data-driven approaches for personalised solutions that are opening up as a result of the increasing digitalisation of medicine and everyday life.
