Residential aged care homes have, or are in the process of implementing, electronic health record (EHR) systems to improve quality of care and reduce cost. For the system to deliver benefits, it must support nursing tasks and be seamlessly integrated into the nursing workflow. To identify whether and how an EHR system can do this most effectively, direct observation was conducted in a residenti...

OBJECTIVES An estimated 25% of type two diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients in the United States are undiagnosed due to inadequate screening, because it is prohibitive to administer laboratory tests to everyone. We assess whether electronic health record (EHR) phenotyping could improve DM2 screening compared to conventional models, even when records are incomplete and not recorded systematically a...

PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively characterise the current use of electronic health records (EHRs) and personal digital assistants (PDAs) among family physicians in Florida; and to compare family physicians with other doctors with respect to the functions commonly used on their EHR and PDA systems. METHODS A postal survey was sent to family physicians (n=2076) and other ...

The adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) and other e-health infrastructures over the years has been characterized by an increase in medical errors. This is primarily a result widespread usage acronyms abbreviations with multiple possible senses (i.e., ambiguous acronyms). advent Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP), presented promising av...

Recent genome-wide screens have identified genes associated with the metastatic potential of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, there is little overlap between the identified genes, and interpretations of the results remain controversial. These inconsistencies may be related to differences in the sample populations, use of distinct microarray platforms and algorithms, and the complicated ...

In this paper, the requirement for delivering an Integrated Electronic Health Record (IEHR) service in the 21st century is emphasized and the technological issues related to the development of the required computational infrastructure, enabling the creation and consistent use of a life-long I-EHR service, are addressed. A fundamental requirement for achieving continuity of care is the seamless ...

BACKGROUND Electronic health records (EHR) are a key tool in managing and storing patients' information. Currently, there are over 50 open source EHR systems available. Functionality and usability are important factors for determining the success of any system. These factors are often a direct reflection of the domain knowledge and developers' motivations. However, few published studies have fo...

BACKGROUND Exchange of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data between systems from different suppliers is a major challenge. EHR communication based on archetype methodology has been developed by openEHR and CEN/ISO. The experience of using archetypes in deployed EHR systems is quite limited today. Currently deployed EHR systems with large user bases have their own proprietary way of representing ...

AIM Financial barriers are a major factor of slow electronic health record (EHR) adoption among US hospitals. All existing literature focuses on relationships between current or short-term financial position and EHR adoption. This study examines relationship between financial position in previous years and the current level of EHR adoption. METHODS Retrospective longitudinal data were extract...

Integrating clinical research data entry with patient care data entry is a challenging issue. At the G. Pompidou European Hospital (HEGP), cardiovascular radiology reports are captured twice, first in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and then in a national clinical research server. Informatics standards are different for EHR (HL7 CDA) and clinical research (CDISC ODM). The objective of this w...
