VisAGE: Integrating external knowledge into electronic medical record visualization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present VisAGE, a method that visualizes electronic medical records (EMRs) in a low-dimensional space. Effective visualization of new patients allows doctors to view similar, previously treated patients and to identify the new patients' disease subtypes, reducing the chance of misdiagnosis. However, EMRs are typically incomplete or fragmented, resulting in patients who are missing many available features being placed near unrelated patients in the visualized space. VisAGE integrates several external data sources to enrich EMR databases to solve this issue. We evaluated VisAGE on a dataset of Parkinson's disease patients. We qualitatively and quantitatively show that VisAGE can more effectively cluster patients, which allows doctors to better discover patient subtypes and thus improve patient care.

Visualization of Large Multi-Dimensional Datasets
Visualization techniques are well developed for many problem domains, but these systems break down for datasets which are very large or multidimensional. Techniques for data which is discrete rather than continuous are also less well studied. Astronomy datasets like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are very much in this category. We propose the extension of information visualization techniques to t...
متن کاملIntegrating patient-oriented data processing into the PREPaRe virtual hospital using XML technology
The PREPaRe system (Personal Repository for Electronic Patient Records) is a patient-oriented internet-based information system that is able to store, combine, process and visualize all types of medical data that are part of a ”personal electronic medical record”. This paper discusses the integration of data acquisition, data preprocessing and visualization aspects using XML technology.

A new concept of a visual electronic medical record is presented based on developments ongoing in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Virtual Soldier Project. This new concept is based on the holographic medical electronic representation (Holomer) and on data formats being developed to support this. The Holomer is being developed in two different visualization environments, one of whi...

Technical Brief: A Case for Manual Entry of Structured, Coded Laboratory Data from Multiple Sources into an Ambulatory Electronic Health Record
Laboratory results provide necessary information for the management of ambulatory patients. To realize the benefits of an electronic health record (EHR) and coded laboratory data (e.g., decision support and improved data access and display), results from laboratories that are external to the health care enterprise need to be integrated with internal results. We describe the development and clin...
