Access
Prados-Suárez B et al, Expert Systems with Applications, 2012
This paper aims to solve a recently arose problem, related to the access to the Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the Hospitals. Due to the digitalization of the information contained in the medical records, and the growing availability of devices that directly generate digital documents to include in it, the EHR are becoming unmanageable. Even more, to find a concrete item of information relevant for a given assistance act is a very hard, difficult and time-consuming task. To solve it we propose here the definition of contexts of access to the EHR, to exploit the logical division of the information inside each document in the EHR into data groups, and the computation of the pertinence of each data group to each context.

“In an ongoing series, I have been touching on multiple issues involved in cardiac patients and the data derived from their implantable defibrillators and pacemakers, which is heretofore unavailable directly to them. I have not fully discussed the viewpoint of device companies for a few reasons. I wanted to explore the multiple aspects of the problem and give the patient’s view first.

“Hugo Campos has a small computer buried in his chest to help keep him alive. But he has no idea what it says about his faulty heart.
All the raw data it collects, especially any erratic rhythms it controls with shocks, goes directly to the manufacturer. And some of it later gets sent to his doctor.

OBJECTIVE
Increasing patient demand for convenient access to their own healthcare data has led to more personal use of the Electronic Health Record (EHR). With “consumer empowerment” being an important issue of EHR, we are seeing a more “patient-centric” approach of EHR from countries around the world. Researchers have reported on issues in EHR sharing including concerns on privacy and security, consumer empowerment, competition among providers, and content standards. This study attempts to analyze prior research and to synthesize comprehensive, empirically-based conceptual models of EHR for personal use.

“Traditionally, the patient chart stayed in the doctors office and rarely did a patient get a glimpse of anything in the record. Photocopying the chart is expensive and no physician would let a chart leave her office because the record must be held safely for a minimum of 7 years.

“That’s still a common phrase you might from the doctor after you’ve have some lab test, biopsy or imaging study like a CT scan. Sometimes the doctor will say “If you don’t hear from me, everything is fine.” Well, given the complexity and comprehensiveness of medical exams nowadays, that’s probably not a good idea. And honestly, it’s never been a good idea to assume no news is good news.
