Повний текст джерелаAccess to healthcare is regarded as a basic and essential human right. It is widely known that ICT solutions have potential to improve access to healthcare, reduce healthcare cost, reduce medical errors, and bridge the digital divide between rural and urban healthcare centres. The access to personal healthcare records is, however, an astounding challenge for both patients and healthcare professionals alike, particularly within resource-restricted environments (such as rural communities). Most rural healthcare institutions have limited or non-existent access to electronic patient healthcare records. This study explored the accessibility of personal healthcare records by patients and healthcare professionals within a rural community hospital in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The case study was conducted at the St. Barnabas Hospital with the support and permission from the Faculty of Informatics and Design, Cape Peninsula University of Technology and the Eastern Cape Department of Health. Semi-structured interviews, observations, and interactive co-design sessions and focus groups served as the main data collection methods used to determine the accessibility of personal healthcare records by the relevant stakeholders. The data was qualitatively interpreted using thematic analysis. The study highlighted the various challenges experienced by healthcare professionals and patients, including time-consuming manual processes, lack of infrastructure, illegible hand-written records, missing records and illiteracy. A number of recommendations for improved access to personal healthcare records are discussed. The significance of the study articulates the imperative need for seamless and secure access to personal healthcare records, not only within rural areas but within all communities.

Повний текст джерелаIn the Western Cape, South Africa, despite the prospective benefits that e-Health information systems (e-Health IS) offer to support the healthcare sector; there are limitations in terms of usability, functionality and peculiar socio-technical factors. Thus, healthcare professionals do not make the most use of the implemented e-Health IS. Unfortunately, explanations remain tentative and unclear, yet non-usage of the e-Health IS defeats the objectives of its adoption, in the sense that the plan to improve and deliver quality healthcare service in the public sector may not be achieved as envisaged. The aim of the study was to acquire explanations to the causes of the limitations regarding the adoption and, particularly, the use (or non-use) of e-Health IS by clinical staff in the public healthcare institutions in South Africa. The choice of research approach was informed by the research problem, objectives, and the main research question. By the reasons of the subjective and socio-technical nature of the phenomenon, a deductive approach was adopted for this investigation. The nominalist ontology and interpretivist epistemology positions were taken by the researcher as a lens to conduct this research; which informed a qualitative methodology for this investigation. The purposive sampling technique was used to identify the appropriate participants from different hospital levels consisting of Hospital Administrative staff, and Clinical staff (Clinicians and Nurses) of relative experiences in their clinical units. Subsequently, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and content analysis technique were used to contextualize, simplify, and analysis the text data transcripts. The findings indicate that healthcare professionals have a high level of awareness and acceptance to use implemented e-Health IS. There are positive perceptions on the expected outcomes, that e-Health IS would improve processes and enhance healthcare services delivery in the public healthcare sector. Also, findings indicate that social influence plays a vital role especially on the willingness of individuals (or groups); as the clinical staff are influenced by their colleagues despite the facilitating conditions provided by the hospital management. Further, findings indicate that it is somewhat problematic to maintain balance in running a parallel paper-electronic system in the hospital environment. Hence, the core factors that influence successful adoption and use of e-Health IS include; willingness of an individual (or group) to accept and use a technology, the performance expectancy, social influence among professionals in the healthcare scenery and adequate facilitating conditions. In summary, it is recommended that there should be an extensive engagement inclusive of all respective stakeholders involved in the adoption processes. This would ensure that e-Health IS are designed to meet both practical organizational and clinical needs (and expectations) with respect to the hospital contexts.

Повний текст джерелаThe research was conducted as part of a socio-tech initiative undertaken at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. The socio-tech initiative overall focus was on addressing issues faced by rural and under-resourced communities in South Africa, specifically looking at Home-Based Healthcare (HBHC) primarily in the Western Cape. As research into the HBHC context in rural and under-resourced communities continued numerous issues around data and data-elements came to light. These data issues were especially prevalent in relation to the various paper forms being used by the HBHC initiatives that attempt to deliver care in these communities. The communities have the tendency to suffer from poor access to formal healthcare services and healthcare facilities. The data issues were primarily in terms of how data was defines and used within the HBHC initiatives. Within the HBHC initiatives that cater for rural and under-resourced communities there was a clear prevalence of paper-based systems, and a very low penetration of IT-based solution. Because similar and related data-elements are used throughout the paper forms and within different context these data-elements are inconsistently used and presented. The paper forms further obfuscate these inconsistencies as the paper forms regularly change due to internal and external factors. When these paper forms are changed date elements are added or removed without the changes to the underlying ontologies being considered.

Повний текст джерелаClinical documentation requires the representation of fine-grained descriptions of patients' history, evolution, and treatment. These descriptions are materialized in findings reports, medical orders, as well as in evolution and discharge summaries. In most clinical environments natural language is the main carrier of documentation. Written clinical jargon is commonly characterized by idiosyncratic terminology, a high frequency of highly context-dependent ambiguous expressions (especially acronyms and abbreviations). Violations of spelling and grammar rules are common. The purpose of this work is to map free text from clinical narratives to a domain ontology (SNOMED CT). To this end, natural language processing (NLP) tools will be combined with a heuristic of semantic mapping. The study uses discharge summaries from the Hospital das Clínicas de Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Parts of these texts are used for creating a training corpus, using manual annotation supported by active learning technology, used for the training of NLP tools that are used for the identification of parts of speech, the cleansing of "dirty" text passages. Thus it was possible to obtain relatively well-formed and unambiguous noun phrases, heuristics was implemented to semantic mapping between these noun phrases (in Portuguese) and the terms describing the SNOMED CT concepts (English and Spanish) uses the technology of morphosemantic indexing, using a multilingual subword thesaurus, provided by the MorphoSaurus system, the resolution of acronyms, and the identification of named entities (e.g. numbers). In this study, 80 per cent of the summaries are analyzed and manually annotated, resulting in a domain corpus that supports the specialization of the OpenNLP system, mainly following the paradigm of statistical natural language processing (the accuracy of the tagger obtained was 93.67%). Simultaneously, several techniques have been used for validating and improving the subword thesaurus. To this end, the semantic representations of comparable test corpora from the medical domain in English, Spanish, and Portuguese were compared with regard to the relative frequency of semantic identifiers, improving the corpus coverage (2% to Portuguese, and 50% to Spanish). The result was used as an input by a team of lexicon curators, which continuously fix errors and fill gaps in the trilingual thesaurus underlying the MorphoSaurus system. The progress of this work could be objectified using OHSUMED, a standard medical information retrieval benchmark. The mapping of text-encoded clinical information to a domain ontology constitutes an area of high scientific and practical interest due to the need for the analysis of structured data, whereas the clinical information is routinely recorded in a largely unstructured way. In this work the ontology used was SNOMED CT. The evaluation of mapping methodology indicates accuracy of 83.9%.

Повний текст джерелаThe Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is gradually replacing paper storage on clinical care settings. Most of essential information contained on EMR is stored as free narrative text, imposing several difficulties on automated data extraction and retrieval. Natural language processing (NLP) refers to computational linguistics tools, whose main objective is text analysis using lexical, grammatical and semantic knowledge. This project describes the creation of a computational tool for clinical and epidemiologic queries on narrative medical texts. The proposed methodology uses the specialized natural language processor MEDLEE developed for English language. To use this processor on Portuguese medical texts chest x-ray reports were Machine Translated into English. The machine translation (MT) was performed by SYSTRAN software, a rule based system customized with a specialized lexicon developed for this project. The result of serial coupling of MT an NLP is tagged text which needs further investigation for extracting clinical findings, whish was done by logical inference upon an ontolgy. The experimental objective of this thesis project was to investigate twenty-two clinical and radiological findings on 12.869 chest x-rays reports. Estimated sensitivity and specificity were 0.91 and 0.99 respectively. The gold standard reference was formed by the opinion of three radiologists. The obtained results indicate the viability of extracting clinical findings from chest x-ray reports using the proposed methodology through coupling MT and NLP. Consequently on future works the number of investigated conditions could be expanded. It is also possible to use this methodology on other medical texts, and on texts of other languages

Повний текст джерелаThe electronic management of medical data is as much in the simple automated processing of personal data in the sharing and exchange of health data . Its legal framework is provided both by the common rules to the automated processing of all personal data and those specific to the processing of medical data . This management , even if it is a source of economy, creates protection issues of privacy which the French government tries to cope by creating one of the best legal framework in the world in this field. However , major projects such as the personal health record still waiting to be made and the right to health is seen ahead and lead by technological advances . The development of e-health disrupts relationships within one dialogue between the caregiver and the patient . The extension of the rights of patients , sharing responsibility , increasing the number of players , the shared medical confidentiality pose new challenges with which we must now count. Another crucial question is posed by the lack of harmonization of legislation increasing the risks in cross-border sharing of medical

Повний текст джерелаThe efforts in the past to improve the treatment of patients suffering from cleft lip and palate as well as to better understand the etiology of clefts have shown that a large number of cases with very large amount of data will normally have to be assessed considering the natural variation of the cleft lip and palate and the true effects to be apparent clinically and statistically. With the help of computer supported databases it is possible to keep comprehensive records about anamnestic information and results of clinical examination before and after all types of treatment including the assessment of the standard of outcome. If necessary the future treatment approaches can be altered. Therefore a computer supported database system using the latest features of object orientated relational database management systems was developed. The efforts of the German Society Of Maxillofacial Surgery to standardize the clinical records and treatment evaluations were considered. The introduced system features network compatibility, high performance query tools and can be managed by average computer users. Running it on actual customary hardware the processing speed considering the very large amount of data to be collected from thousands of patients with often more than 18 years of treatment is excellent. The introduced system contributes to the general approach to improve the treatment outcome and to better understand the etiology of cleft lip and palate.

Big Data analysis has become a key factor of being innovative and competitive. Along with population growth worldwide and the trend aging of population in developed countries, the rate of the national medical care usage has been increasing. Due to the fact that individual medical data are usually scattered in different institutions and their data formats are varied, to integrate those data that continue increasing is challenging. In order to have scalable load capacity for these data platforms, we must build them in good platform architecture. Some issues must be considered in order to use the cloud computing to quickly integrate big medical data into database for easy analyzing, searching, and filtering big data to obtain valuable information. In this paper we build a cloud storage platform with HBase for storing and analyzing big data of medical records and improve the performance of importing data into database. The data of medical records are stored in HBase database platform for big data storage. It also can compute through Hadoop MapReduce for HBase database to do distributed computing or cloud computing to process medical records, and to provide functions, including keyword search, data filtering, and basic statistics. We use Put with the single-threaded method and the CompleteBulkload method to import data. From the experimental results we find that when the file size is less than 300MB we can use the Put with single-threaded method and when the file size is larger than 300MB we can use the CompleteBulkload method to improve the performance of data import into database. This work provides a web interface that allows users to search data, filter out meaningful information through the web, and analyze and convert data in suitable forms that will be helpful for medical staff and institutions.

Paralelamente, mais áreas para além da tecnologia e informática têm-se também desenvolvido, nomeadamente a área da medicina, o que tem permitido um aumento na esperança média de vida que por sua vez leva a uma maior necessidade de cuidados de saúde. Com o intuito de fornecer os melhores serviços de saúde possíveis, nos dias que hoje os hospitais guardam nos seus sistemas informáticos grandes quantidades de dados relativamente aos pacientes e doenças (sobre a forma de registos médicos eletrónicos) ou relativos à logística de alguns departamentos dos hospitais, etc. Por conseguinte, a estes dados têm vindo a ser utilizadas técnicas da área das ciências da computação como o data mining e o processamento da língua natural para extrair conhecimento e valor dessas fontes ricas em informação com o intuito não só de desenvolver, por exemplo, novos modelos de predição de doenças, como também de melhorar processos já existentes em centros de saúde e hospitais. Este armazenamento de dados pode ser feito em uma de três formas: de forma estruturada, não estruturada ou semi-estruturada. Neste trabalho o autor testou a integração de dados estruturados e não estruturados de dois departamentos diferentes do mesmo hospital português, com o intuito de extrair conhecimento e melhorar os processos do hospital. Com o intuito de reduzir a perda do armazenamento de dados que não são utilizados.

Повний текст джерелаThe acceptance of E-health in South African Hospitals and other developing countries is slow and confusing. Healthcare professionals must be fully engaged in the E-health decision making since they are the main users of E-health systems. It is important to note that using E-health to support the daily work of healthcare professionals can improve healthcare provision and so improve citizens' health. However, investing in affordable E-health applications that can help in realising the benefits of technology and minimizing health costs is not easy. Literature shows that much as there are several studies that have been conducted in respect of technology acceptance, adoption and use, little attention has been given to E-health acceptance in South Africa. Therefore, this study sought to design a model for E-health acceptance for South African hospitals.

Повний текст джерелаWith the availability of electronic medical records, medication dispensing data offers an unprecedented opportunity for researchers to explore complex relationships among longterm medication use, disease progression and potential side-effects in large patient populations. However, these data also pose challenges to existing statistical models because both medication exposure status and its intensity vary over time. This dissertation focused on flexible models to investigate the association between time-varying exposures and different types of outcomes. First, a penalized functional regression model was developed to estimate the effect of time-varying exposures on multivariate longitudinal outcomes. Second, for survival outcomes, a regression spline based model was proposed in the Cox proportional hazards (PH) framework to compare disease risk among different types of time-varying exposures. Finally, a penalized spline based Cox PH model with functional interaction terms was developed to estimate interaction effect between multiple medication classes. Data from a primary care patient cohort are used to illustrate the proposed approaches in determining the association between antidepressant use and various outcomes.
