01:18Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

01:20Integrated 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,...
01:14Statistical Analysis System (SAS)
SAS, short for Statistical Analysis System, is a powerful data analysis, management, and visualization tool. Developed by the SAS Institute in the early 1970s, SAS has evolved into a comprehensive software suite used across various industries for statistical analysis, business intelligence, and predictive modeling.
Applications: SAS finds applications in numerous fields, including healthcare for clinical trial analysis, finance for risk assessment, marketing for customer data analysis, and...

Summary
The Open-Source SYstematic Reviews Integrated System (OSSYRIS) streamlines systematic reviews by integrating tools for data extraction and analysis. This open-source platform enhances efficiency and reliability in conducting systematic literature reviews.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Health Informatics
- Scientific Publishing
Background:
- Systematic reviews (SRs) are labor-intensive, involving diverse tasks.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) offers potential to improve SR efficiency and reliability.
- Integrating software tools across SR production stages is key for optimization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the development of the Open-Source SYstematic Reviews Integrated System (OSSYRIS).
- To address challenges in SR data extraction through standardized data structures.
- To create an open-source platform integrating all SR tasks, including overviews of SRs.
Main Methods:
- Selected Zotero (reference management), KoboToolbox (screening/extraction), and R (analysis/reporting) based on criteria: few applications, comprehensive coverage, interoperability, and open-source.
Main Results:
- OSSYRIS integrates Zotero, KoboToolbox, and R for automated screening status updates and PRISMA flow diagram generation.
- Standardized data extraction forms with pre-coded items, filtering, and modular structures improve data integrity.
- Internal algorithms automate study design and risk of bias assessments based on reviewer-input criteria.
Conclusions:
- OSSYRIS offers an open-source, integrated system for conducting systematic reviews.
- The platform promotes the use of open-source tools in SRs.
- OSSYRIS aims to foster a community of practice for continuous improvement within Cochrane and beyond.
