This paper described how to use Oracle partitioning to achieve classified storage of data from structured electronic medical records. Because structured electronic medical records stored massive data, the performance, security and stability of database had been paid more and more attentions. In this paper, table with partition in structured electronic medical records system was presented to sol...

CONFLICT OF INTEREST NONE DECLARED. SUMMARY The development of the digital Information Communication Technology (ICT) has definitely changed healthcare system in all its areas. The development of standardized electronic medical record (EMR) make possible other forms of E-Health like transmural care, telemedicine etc. In this paper was described Health Information System (HIS) of Tuzla Canton ...

BACKGROUND Recent health care policies have supported the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) but examples of failed ICT projects in this sector have highlighted the need for a greater understanding of the processes used to implement such innovations in complex organizations. This study examined the interaction of sociological and technological factors in the implementa...

Chart review is central to health services research. Text processing, which analyzes free-text fields through automated methods, can facilitate this process. We compared precision and accuracy of NegEx and SQLServer 2008 Free-Text Search in identifying acute fractures in radiology reports. The term “fracture” was included in 23,595 radiology reports from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study. Four hu...

Development of task-specific electronic medical record (EMR) searches and user interfaces has the potential to improve the efficiency and safety of health care while curbing rising costs. The development of such tools must be data-driven and guided by a strong understanding of practitioner information requirements with respect to specific clinical tasks or scenarios. To acquire this important d...

The current fascination with electronic medical records (EMRs) is not new. For decades, vendors have capitalized on this enthusiasm. But hospitals and clinics have ended up with little to show for their large outlays. Indeed, computing at a typical hospital has not gotten much beyond what was available twenty-five years ago. The RAND analysis continues the tradition of hope and hype. Unfortunat...

Many EMR systems are focused on documentation but are not designed for discrete clinical data capture for outcomes and quality measurement. This requires new clinical workflow and methods to capture patient specific data as part of usual care, without negative impact on productivity. We describe a process to harness tools within a commercially available EMR, together with other electronic data ...

The management of electronic health records (EHR), in general, and clinical documents, in particular, is becoming a key issue in the daily work of Healthcare Organizations (HO). The need for providing secure and private access to, and storage for, clinical documents together with the need for HO to interoperate, raises a number of issues difficult to solve. Many systems are in place to manage E...
