BACKGROUND The University Hospital Heidelberg is implementing a Regional Health Information Network (RHIN) in the Rhine-Neckar-Region in order to establish a shared-care environment, which is based on established Health IT standards and in particular Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE). Similar to all other Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Personal Health Record (PHR) approaches the c...

Neoplastic transformation is accompanied by losses of macromolecules typical for the fully differentiated adult cells, as well as by gains of tumor-specific or tumor-associated components, often related to components present in less differentiated fetal cells. The aim of this study was to investigate possible differences in the pattern of enzyme-active antigens included in the membranes of two ...

With Ihe growth of digital libraries and electronic publishing, many structured document sources are appearing and their efleclive mediation is an imporlanl research topic. In this paper, we propose a wrapping architecture for externally maintained struclured document sources. Our wrapping target is information retrieval systems (IRSs) that provide access to strucaured documenk We describe a wr...

A way of incorporating the concepls of fU2.ZY sets into layered neural networks has been described. The inpul can be provided to quanlitative or linguistic fOnTIS while Ihe outpUI may be modeled as membership values. Logical operators, viz., I-norm T and r-conorm S involving And and Or neurons. are employed al the neuronal level, and the conventional back propagarion algorilhm is accordingly mo...

The health record in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system is more sensitive than demographic. It raises the important issue for the EHR requirement in privacy, security, audit trail, patient access, and archiving and data retention. The studies about the EHR system security are deficient. The aim of this study is to build a security environment for the EHR system by Integrating the Healthc...

Recently Business Intelligence approaches like process mining are applied to the healthcare domain. The goal of process mining is to gain process knowledge, compliance and room for improvement by investigating recorded event data. Previous approaches focused on process discovery by event data from various specific systems. IHE, as a globally recognized basis for healthcare information systems, ...
