Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Accessing distributed medical information for research presents significant challenges.
  • Existing systems often require users to interact with multiple, disparate databases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel computer system for accessing and integrating medical information from remote databases.
  • To create a unified data model providing a "virtual" single-database view for epidemiological and health services research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a component-based architecture to handle diverse database schemas.
  • Employing software engineering and artificial intelligence techniques for data access, integration, filtering, and delivery.
  • Developing a preliminary prototype for searching and retrieving information from a specific database model.
