There are two main purposes in this study. The first one tends to investigate the relationship between individuals’ concern for their health information (CFHIP) and their intention to provide their health information in the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) exchange center (EEC). The other purpose is to identify the antecedents of CFHIP, including hospital reputation, hospital privacy policy and...

The detection of diabetes mellitus with elevated risk at early stage is critical in global clinical management. It aims to apply association rule mining to electronic medical records (EMR) to detect sets of risk factors and their corresponding subpopulations of patients. Association rule mining accomplishes a very large set of rules for summarizing the risk of diabetes in EMR with high dimensio...

Electronic medical records (EMRs) facilitate fast and accurate access to patient records, which could improve diagnosis and patient monitoring. Using a 12-year county-level panel, we find that a 10 percent increase in births that occur in hospitals with EMRs reduces neonatal mortality by 16 deaths per 100,000 live births. This is driven by a reduction of deaths from conditions requiring careful...

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in academic medical centers often have additional complexity to them due to structural and organizational differences.

CKD is frequently undiagnosed and patients are unaware, hampering intervention. A tool for accurate and timely identification of CKD from electronic medical records (EMR) could improve healthcare quality and identify patients for research. A...
