Semantic Interoperability of Electronic Health Records: Systematic Review of Alternative Approaches for Enhancing Patient Information Availability

Semantic Interoperability of Electronic Health Records: Systematic Review of Alternative Approaches for Enhancing Patient Information Availability

Moreover, semantic interoperability enhances the unambiguous representation of clinical concepts, supported by the use of international standard reference systems and ontologies. Since there are different types of health information, such as data from EHRs, patient registries, genomics data, and data from health applications, the development of international data standardization, common guidelines, and recommendations are needed [4-8].

Identification of Predictors for Clinical Deterioration in Patients With COVID-19 via Electronic Nursing Records: Retrospective Observational Study

Identification of Predictors for Clinical Deterioration in Patients With COVID-19 via Electronic Nursing Records: Retrospective Observational Study

This study standardized the nursing statements of patients with COVID-19 in a hospital in South Korea by mapping them to SNOMED CT, an international standard terminology. Using these standardized statements, machine learning analysis with a random forest was conducted. Concepts that could predict patient deterioration in nursing problems or outcomes and intervention domains were identified.

The Necessity of Interoperability to Uncover the Full Potential of Digital Health Devices

The Necessity of Interoperability to Uncover the Full Potential of Digital Health Devices

In this context, patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires have become a standard tool to capture patients’ perspectives on their health status. Depending on the underlying disease, PROs cover topics such as quality of life [1], adverse events [3,4], or stress [5], among others. Although in the past, PROs were typically reported using paper-and-pencil methods, electronic PROs (e PROs) are increasingly used and preferred by patients [6].

Structure of Health Information With Different Information Models: Evaluation Study With Competency Questions

Structure of Health Information With Different Information Models: Evaluation Study With Competency Questions

Previous work has compared system configurations in relation to a single standard and showed that different system configurations could be unified [10,11]. Works comparing different standards have shown discrepancies in coverage and lack of alignment, primarily regarding terminologies [12,13]. Our hypothesis is that the differences between information models are overestimated.

Interoperable, Domain-Specific Extensions for the German Corona Consensus (GECCO) COVID-19 Research Data Set Using an Interdisciplinary, Consensus-Based Workflow: Data Set Development Study

Interoperable, Domain-Specific Extensions for the German Corona Consensus (GECCO) COVID-19 Research Data Set Using an Interdisciplinary, Consensus-Based Workflow: Data Set Development Study

These extension modules complement the GECCO core data set and use the same international health IT standards and terminologies as those in the GECCO data set, such as the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) [5], the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) [6,7], and the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) [8,9] standard.

What Makes a Quality Health App—Developing a Global Research-Based Health App Quality Assessment Framework for CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2: Delphi Study

What Makes a Quality Health App—Developing a Global Research-Based Health App Quality Assessment Framework for CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2: Delphi Study

Standardization experts participated in the ballot and review process of the standard development as part of their membership of the national Standard Development Organization mirror committees. All data were handled following European data protection regulations. The first Delphi survey was sent to 197 stakeholders and experts, the second to an additional 14, adding up to a total of 211. Response was defined as rating the importance of at least one framework question.
