This study introduces semi-structured documents to improve electronic medical record (EMR) management. This approach enhances user experience and querying performance over traditional database systems.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Science
  • Database Management

Background:

  • Traditional database systems for electronic medical records (EMR) present usability challenges.
  • Existing capture forms in EMR systems lack flexibility for diverse patient cases and physician workflows.
  • While electronic documents offer a better interface, they suffer from inadequate querying performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate the use of semi-structured documents as an improved user interface for database-based EMR systems.
  • To address the limitations of classical database systems and electronic document interfaces in EMR management.
  • To enhance both user satisfaction and data retrieval efficiency in healthcare information systems.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a novel system that utilizes semi-structured documents as the primary user interface.
