Integrated Healthcare System

2.6K
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,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.5K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Clinical Trials: Overview

5.5K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Clinical Trials

11.2K
Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Data Science
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • Electronic medical records contain valuable structured but uncoded data not linked to standard terminologies.
  • Reusing this data for secondary research is crucial but challenging due to difficulties in identifying relevant elements and creating efficient extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes.
  • Current data warehousing methods struggle to maintain and reuse semantically complex data extraction and transformation routines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an ontology-supported approach to overcome challenges in reusing electronic medical record data for secondary research.
  • To demonstrate how ontologies can facilitate the organization and description of medical concepts in source and target systems.
  • To show how declarative transformation rules within ontologies can automate SQL code generation for ETL procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing ontologies to organize and describe medical concepts from both source and target systems.
  • Defining declarative transformation rules within ontologies instead of database-level ETL procedures.
  • Automatically generating SQL code from these ontology-defined rules to perform ETL procedures.

Main Results:

  • The proposed ontology-supported approach simplifies the identification of relevant data elements and the creation of ETL jobs.
  • Declarative transformation rules defined in ontologies can be used to automatically generate SQL code for data extraction and transformation.
  • This method enhances the interpretability of clinical data and fosters the reuse of data unlocking methods.

Conclusions:

  • Ontology-supported abstraction provides an effective method for managing and reusing complex clinical data extraction and transformation routines.
  • This approach enhances the efficiency and reusability of ETL processes for secondary research using electronic medical record data.
  • The methodology aids in both the interpretation of clinical data and the systematic unlocking of its research potential.
