Abstract:
Capturing structured clinical documentation remains a central challenge in clinical informatics. A solution which represented highly hierarchical data in a relational structure exhibited degradation in performance as complexity of hierarchies grew. To ameliorate the problem, we devised a hybrid approach whereby we commit a precompiled XML representation of hierarchical data as well as individual records to a relational database.
