A Modular Architecture for Electronic Health Record-Driven Phenotyping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasing interest in and experience with electronic health record (EHR)-driven phenotyping has yielded multiple challenges that are at present only partially addressed. Many solutions require the adoption of a single software platform, often with an additional cost of mapping existing patient and phenotypic data to multiple representations. We propose a set of guiding design principles and a modular software architecture to bridge the gap to a standardized phenotype representation, dissemination and execution. Ongoing development leveraging this proposed architecture has shown its ability to address existing limitations.

An Evaluation of the NQF Quality Data Model for Representing Electronic Health Record Driven Phenotyping Algorithms
The development of Electronic Health Record (EHR)-based phenotype selection algorithms is a non-trivial and highly iterative process involving domain experts and informaticians. To make it easier to port algorithms across institutions, it is desirable to represent them using an unambiguous formal specification language. For this purpose we evaluated the recently developed National Quality Forum...

Each year the National Institute of Health spends over 12 billion dollars on patient related medical research. Accurately classifying patients into categories representing disease, exposures, or other medical conditions important to a study is critical when conducting patientrelated research. Without rigorous characterization of patients, also referred to as phenotyping, relationships between e...
