Nursing Clinical Information System

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:

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Background:

Healthcare systems often use isolated, non-communicating computer systems.
Lack of interoperability hinders the full potential of healthcare applications.
Existing systems limit comprehensive data utilization for decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose Semantic Web technologies for resolving healthcare data interoperability.
To demonstrate how unifying ontologies can aggregate data from multiple providers.
To enhance decision support systems with broader data inputs.

Main Methods:

Development of unifying healthcare ontologies.
Aggregation of data from multiple healthcare providers.
Implementation of an end-to-end proof of concept for medicinal decision support.

Main Results:

Successfully demonstrated Semantic Web technologies for healthcare interoperability.
Enabled data aggregation from diverse Belgian healthcare providers.
Showcased improved medicinal decision support through comprehensive data integration.

Conclusions:

Semantic Web technologies offer a viable solution to healthcare data interoperability challenges.
Unifying ontologies facilitate data aggregation for enhanced decision support.
The proof of concept validates the approach for practical application in healthcare settings.
