New Perspectives in Medical Records: Meeting the Needs of Patients and Practitioners (TELe-Health Book 0)

"This book provides innovative practical suggestions regarding the production and management of medical records that are designed to address the inconsistencies and errors that have been highlighted especially in relation to national eHealth programs. Challenges and lessons that have emerged from the use of clinical information and the design of medical records are discussed, and principles underpinning the implementation of health IT are critically examined. New trends in the use of clinical data are explored in depth, with analysis of issues relating to integration and sharing of patient information, data visualization, big data analytics, and the requirements of modern electronic health records. The spirit pervading the book is one of co-production, in which the needs of practitioners are taken into account from the outset. Readers will learn the basic concepts of how clinical information emanating from the doctor-patient relationship can be effectively integrated with genetic and environmental data and analyzed by complex algorithms with the goal of improving medical decision making and patient care. The book, written by European experts and researchers, will be of interest to all stakeholders in the field, including doctors, technicians, and policy makers."--Back cover Front Matter....Pages i-xvi EHR, EPR, PS, PHR: Different Medical Records for Different Aims: Roles of Doctors, Patients, and Institutions....Pages 1-22 An Infrastructural Approach to Clinical Information....Pages 23-32 From Big Data to Big Insights: The Role of Platforms in Healthcare IT....Pages 33-47 Shared Medical Record, Personal Health Folder and Health and Social Integrated Care in Catalonia: ICT Services for Integrated Care....Pages 49-64 Visual Analytics of Electronic Health Records with a Focus on Time....Pages 65-77 Military ICT and Innovative Networks for the Protection of People’s Health....Pages 79-89 Perspectives in Digital Health and Precision Medicine....Pages 91-102 Medical Record for Clinicians: Present and Future Vision....Pages 103-113 Addressing eHealth at the EU Level....Pages 115-122 Clinical Information in Use: Problems, Outcomes and Challenges from Experience....Pages 123-128 Medical Records, eHealth and Health IT: What Are the Key Points for the Organizational Benefits and for the Improvements of the Modern Local Health Organisations?....Pages 129-140 Disease Registry: A Tool for European Cross-Border Medicine....Pages 141-152 Cross-Border Experiences in Health IT: What Are the Requests for the Medical Record?
