“Despite good intentions, millions of dollars, years of effort and, probably matching the historical norm of any visionary undertaking, a scandal or two, Ontario does not yet have an electronic health record (“EHR”).

Nowadays, patients usually take more than three drugs for diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Hence, nuclear medicine physicians should be very careful about the medication history of each patient and ensure that their medication will not cause false positive or false negative imaging results, because either condition will interfere with adequate treatment of the patient and result in a wrong diagnosis. The aim of the present paper is to develop an ontology-based medication search and alert system for scintiphotography of Chang Gung Memorial hospital at Kaohsiung.

By the time Hollywood remade the film in 1987 as Innerspace, a comedy, real-world engineers had already begun building prototypes of pill-size robots that could voyage through a patient’s gastrointestinal tract on a doctor’s behalf.

“Most of the 1,500 largest U.S. hospitals have already deployed electronic health record systems. Not so for the nation’s 700,000 practicing doctors. Less than 20% of them use EHRs, and many aren’t using fully functional systems. So what’s at stake if all these doctors don’t get on board with deploying these systems? A lot.
