Medical information systems evolve constantly. We know that medical information systems need to be highly interoperable and effectively manage complex information of great sensitivity. This paper shows a coherent architectural framework that allows the development of interoperable medical information systems even when these systems evolve. This architecture is based on agent, ontology and Peer to...
Effective chronic disease management ensures better treatment and reduces medical costs. Representing knowledge through building an ontology for Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) is important to achieve semantic interoperability among healthcare information systems and to better execute decision support systems. In this paper, an ontology-based EMR focusing on Chronic Disease Management is proposed...
Knowledge sharing has become an imperative and challenging issue in the E-health field for improving total quality of services. However, since the E-health subject is a multi-disciplinary and cross-organizational area, to have shared concepts, vocabulary plus a specification of its intended meaning, namely an ontology, has been an obstacle to develop e-health system. We will in this paper propose...
An EHR is a longitudinal collection of electronic health information about individual patients or populations, and is capable of being shared across different health care settings, by being embedded in network-connected enterprise-wide information system. An important consideration in the process of developing electronic health records is to plan for the long-term preservation and storage of these...
Increasing demand for health care services pose a number of challenges to healthcare industry and one of them is sharing health care information among heterogeneous health care information systems. Digital health care ecosystem aims at providing continues treatment process requiring seamless information sharing across multiple healthcare providers/organizations. Different health care standards and...
The paper presents the architecture of a software system managing the patient's health record and outlines an ontology which is then used as a framework for implementation. The use of this system will help us to realize the full potential of modern, electronic, health care and to optimize this functionality, ontologies are needed. Standards for coded medical terminologies and for a common representation...
If you think in terms of your lifetime, you may ponder that while the hours, minutes, and seconds of a day have remained the same, the amount of information that you have received, let's say, in the 1980s compared with now, 2008, is drastically different. The size of information received in a day now is larger than what you have received in the past years. The information age has also created a wide...
