“…The German Medical Informatics Initiative is a large-scale project that aims at providing clinical data for medical research. [35][36][37] UKER is part of one of the research consortia within this project, termed Medical Informatics in Research and Care in University Medicine (MIRACUM). 38 The hospitals within the consortia are currently building data integration centers to enable patient cohort identification for clinical trials across institutions.…”

Mapping the Entire Record—An Alternative Approach to Data Access from Medical Logic Modules

et al. 2020

Objectives This study aimed to describe an alternative approach for accessing electronic medical records (EMRs) from clinical decision support (CDS) functions based on Arden Syntax Medical Logic Modules, which can be paraphrased as “map the entire record.” Methods Based on an experimental Arden Syntax processor, we implemented a method to transform patient data from a commercial patient data management system (PDMS) to tree-structured documents termed CDS EMRs. They are encoded in a specific XML format that can be directly transformed to Arden Syntax data types by a mapper natively integrated into the processor. The internal structure of a CDS EMR reflects the tabbed view of an EMR in the graphical user interface of the PDMS. Results The study resulted in an architecture that provides CDS EMRs in the form of a network service. The approach enables uniform data access from all Medical Logic Modules and requires no mapping parameters except a case number. Measurements within a CDS EMR can be addressed with straightforward path expressions. The approach is in routine use at a German university hospital for more than 2 years. Conclusion This practical approach facilitates the use of CDS functions in the clinical routine at our local hospital. It is transferrable to standard-compliant Arden Syntax processors with moderate effort. Its comprehensibility can also facilitate teaching and development. Moreover, it may lower the entry barrier for the application of the Arden Syntax standard and could therefore promote its dissemination.

“…This trend is transversal to other areas of knowledge, with different types of applications, as demonstrated in the study of Epizitone et al [6]. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to the health context have been the subject of several research works, with a greater incidence in the Digital Transformation (DT) of this sector [1,7], such as processes related to healthcare delivery models and medical practices [8]. Some studies point to digitalization as a future priority in the health and public sector, reinforcing the need to adopt intelligent technological applications [9][10][11][12] and connectivity mechanisms [13,14].…”

Purpose: This study aimed to reflect on the challenges of Health Information Systems in Portugal at a time when technologies enable the creation of new approaches and models for care provision, as well as to identify scenarios that may characterize this practice in the future. Design/methodology/approach: A guiding research model was created based on an empirical study that was conducted using a qualitative method that integrated content analysis of strategic documents and semi-structured interviews with a sample of fourteen key actors in the health sector. Findings: Results pointed to the existence of emerging technologies that may promote the development of Health Information Systems oriented to “health and well-being” in a preventive model logic and reinforce the social and management implications. Originality/value: The originality of this work resided in the empirical study carried out, which allowed us to analyze how the various actors look at the present and the future of Health Information Systems. There is also a lack of studies addressing this subject. Research limitations/implications: The main limitations resulted from a low, although representative, number of interviews and the fact that the interviews took place before the pandemic, so the digital transformation that was promoted was not reflected. Managerial implications and social implications: The study highlighted the need for greater commitment from decision makers, managers, healthcare providers, and citizens toward achieving improved digital literacy and health. Decision makers and managers must also agree on strategies to accelerate existing strategic plans and avoid their implementation at different paces.

“…Undoubtedly, there is an important role of general automation in the global economy and in daily life; so, the patient information management system (PIMS) is an automated system that is used to manage patient information, and meant to provide the administration and staff, with information in real-time to make their work more interesting and less stressing [1][2][3][4].…”

In medical sector, the use of computers and information technology helps in diagnosis, especially the computer-based patient record (CPR). As the traditional method of storing patient files is not feasible to obtain the health file, especially those who are in critical conditions, such as accidents, loss of consciousness and memory at times, due to the consumption of a lot of time and effort in the process of manual searching in traditional files. In order to help health care centers quickly identify patient personal data and make accurate decisions, an automated electronic system for patient health files based on a fingerprint sensor was built using special methods and technologies such as Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system, which is a retrieval technology based on the similarity of the images has the potential to facilitate identification and diagnosis of the patient's condition when he or she is unconscious. This study aims to integrate different technologies and discuss issues related to the electronic health file system based on the patient's fingerprint data, the use of (fingerprint sensor) technology, linking to the patient file data system, storage in fingerprint databases, and health data for each. sick.; To help critical cases, in addition to applying this technology and employing it in the ambulance and diagnostic system in order to improve the level of medical services and reach the desired results. The results showed that the electronic health profile was successfully built, designed and implemented for its intended purpose, the system and the destinations that connect users to the system as well as the fingerprint sensor. Finally, the system is efficient and gives reliable results with up to 100% tested accuracy based on the states it was stored.
