Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Science
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Electronic Medical Record Systems (EMRS) are crucial for modern healthcare.
  • Traditional data processing approaches may not fully capture the complexity of medical records.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an information architecture for EMRS development.
  • To address the challenges posed by the diverse and unpredictable nature of clinical documents.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of clinical workplace and medical record characteristics.
  • Adoption of a document processing-based information architecture.
  • Utilization of text tagging logic and conventions (e.g., SGML, HyTime).

Main Results:
