PROJECT TITLE :

Meaningful use of patient-centric health records for healthcare transformation

ABSTRACT :

Healthcare transformation through the use of data technologies is partly obsessed on effectively applying the most up-to-date data to the entire representation of the patient's past medical history at the point of care. So as for health data to be effectively used, patient info ought to be sufficiently detailed, and more importantly, the semantics of the information ought to be made express and machine processable. Typically, the semantics of data are represented implicitly and are hidden in unstructured and disconnected descriptions of the information. Alternatively, they'll be known to human experts, such as the researchers or caregivers concerned within the generation of that data. Predefined schemas of health information systems are insufficient; it is very important to explicitly represent the patient-specific context of each discrete knowledge item and the way it relates to different knowledge things (e.g., indications and outcomes of an operation), furthermore how it fits into the entire health history of a private. Dispersed and disparate medical records of a patient are usually inconsistent and incoherent. An independent patient-centric electronic health record might offer an explicit, coherent, and complete representation of contextual information. This paper reviews healthcare transformations, with thought of an independent health record.
