This work demonstrates the usefulness of non-linear data reconciliation to evaluate available measurements and estimate unmeasured variables for a full-scale partial nitritation (SHARON) reactor for the treatment of wastewater with high ammonium concentrations. Despite a lack of measured data, the bilinear approach of formulating system constraints allowed to satisfy the requirements for data r...

INTRODUCTION The objective of the study was to assess home medication data collected at the Emergency Department in a tertiary hospital. It also aimed to identify whether any possible deficiencies in this collection were translated as reconciliation errors on admission, to analyse and classify these data and identify the pharmacological groups involved. METHOD A prospective observational stud...

The reference reconciliation problem consists in deciding whether different identifiers refer to the same data, i.e., correspond to the same world entity. The L2R system exploits the semantics of a rich data model, which extends RDFS by a fragment of OWL-DL and SWRL rules. In L2R, the semantics of the schema is translated into a set of logical rules of reconciliation, which are then used to inf...

Optimistic replication can provide high data availability for collaborative applications in large scale distributed systems (grid, P2P, and mobile systems). However, if data reconciliation is performed by a single node, data availability remains an important issue since the reconciler node can fail. Thus, reconciliation should also be distributed and reconciliation data should be replicated. We...

Background: Medication reconciliation is an essential, but resource-intensive process without a “gold standard” to measure medication adherence. Medication reconciliation applications that focus on facilitating clinicians’ decision-making are needed. Since no single available source of medication information is adequate, combining data sources may improve usefulness and outcomes. Objectives: We...

Hospitals face increasing pressure to implement medication reconciliation—a systematic way to ensure accurate patient medication lists at admission, during a hospitalization and at discharge—to reduce errors and improve patient outcomes. Electronic health records (EHRs) can help standardize medication reconciliation, but data quality and technical and workflow issues continue to pose challenges...

O LI E DATA RECO CILIATIO FOR PROCESS CO TROL Combined data reconciliation with estimation of slowly changing parameters has been implemented for closed-loop control in a Chemical Plant. Goals include streamlining use of redundant measurements for backing up failed instruments, filtering noise, and, in some cases, reducing steady state estimation errors. Special considerations include bumpless ...
