Objective Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) clinicians require specialized Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to address the privacy, data governance, interoperability, and medical surveillance concerns that are specific to occupational health. Methods The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) Section of Health Informatics evaluated clinical workflow concerns, assessed health information requirements, and developed informatics recommendations through iterative consultation with ACOEM members. Results ACOEM presents ten recommendations that specialized Occupational EHR systems (OEHRs) should meet to serve the information needs and practice requirements of OEM clinicians. Common challenges in OEM practice and potential informatics solutions are used to illustrate each recommendation. Conclusion The recommendations serve as a framework for occupational health clinicians to consider in their adoption of OEHRs and provide software engineers a set of requirements to facilitate the development and improvement of OEHRs.
This article provides a thorough examination of healthcare data analytics and identifies various unresolved questions that necessitate further investigation. The implementation of healthcare analytics has the potential to generate two supplementary advantages for healthcare providers, specifically heightened patient contentment and ameliorated health consequences. The field of data analytics has been propelled forward by the facilitation of healthcare data acquisition through technological and software advancements. The lack of a predetermined framework in the data, along with the constraints imposed by privacy considerations in data gathering and dissemination methods, have presented significant obstacles to the progression of the field. The expeditious handling and comprehension of data requires prompt decision-making in the presence of substantial information quantities. In specific situations, the retrieval and analysis of data may necessitate the utilisation of more advanced techniques owing to the intricacy of the data. The emergence of data collection technologies that facilitate analytics has presented new obstacles, despite their effectiveness in accumulating vast quantities of data. The healthcare industry employs a wide array of methodologies, which can be attributed to the inherent distinctions in the fundamental data types.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
