Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
Concepts of Health and Illness01:29

Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
¹H NMR Signal Integration: Overview00:58

¹H NMR Signal Integration: Overview

The intensity of a signal, which can be represented by the area under the peak, depends on the number of protons contributing to that signal. The area under each peak is shown as a vertical line called an integral, with the integral value listed under it, as seen in the proton NMR spectrum of benzyl acetate. Each integral value is divided by the smallest integral value to obtain the ratio of the number of protons producing each signal. The ratio reveals the relative number of protons and not...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Knowledge Representation

Background:

  • The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) integrates terms from diverse sources, requiring frequent updates and concept assignment.
  • Ensuring accurate concept mapping during UMLS integration is crucial to prevent data redundancy and maintain terminological integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a method for detecting undesirable duplicate concepts generated during the UMLS integration process.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of maintaining the UMLS knowledge sources.

Main Methods:

  • A novel approach termed "piecewise synonym generation" was employed to reintegrate terms into the UMLS.
  • Programmatic comparison of the reintegrated term's concept with its original concept identified suspicious term-concept pairs indicating potential errors.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of five Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) hierarchies revealed that 7.7% of reintegrated terms resulted in suspicious matches.
  • A subsequent expert review of 149 suspicious concepts found that 19% were indeed duplicates, highlighting the method's effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method effectively identifies potentially erroneous concept assignments in the UMLS, reducing the need for manual review.
  • This approach contributes to enhancing the quality and consistency of the UMLS, a vital resource for biomedical research and applications.
