Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Text prediction has the potential for facilitating and speeding up the documentation work within health care, making it possible for health personnel to allocate less time to documentation and more time to patient care. It also offers a way to produce clinical text with fewer misspellings and abbreviations, increasing readability. We have explored how text prediction can be used for input of clinical text, and how the specific challenges of text prediction in this domain can be addressed. A text prediction prototype was constructed using data from a medical journal and from medical terminologies. This prototype achieved keystroke savings of 26% when evaluated on texts mimicking authentic clinical text. The results are encouraging, indicating that there are feasible methods for text prediction in the clinical domain.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- It is assumed that bipolar disorder patients can benefit from monitoring their mood, sleep, medicine intake and behavior which could be both done by patients themselves and in cooperation with health care professionals. This study aims at understanding what is required from a computerized system, as seen from the view of therapists and the patients, and how the newer mobile technologies (smart phones and tablets) can be utilized to support development of such a system. The study focuses on several existing solutions available either freely or on the market. Then these solutions are evaluated by both patients and medical professionals as a part of the system requirements study to be used in a new system development that will utilize mobile technologies to support the performance and patient outcomes.

Medical concept representation : the years beyond 2000.
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of Studies in Health Technology & Informatics, vol. 192. - : IOS Press. - 9781614992882 - 9781614992899 ; , s. 1011-1011
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This work aims at understanding the state of the art in the broad contextual research area of "medical concept representation". Our data support the general understanding that the focus of research has moved toward medical ontologies, which we interpret as a paradigm shift. Both the opinion of socially active groups of researchers and changes in bibliometric data since 1988 support this opinion. Socially active researchers mention the OBO foundry, SNOMED CT, and the UMLS as anchor activities.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Cherry project seeks to address the information needs of young cancer patients, their parents, and health care providers. It aims at helping the patients to understand various aspects of their disease and treatment, and allow them to assess and record their disease related quality of life. It uses elements of social media to offer a meeting point with the physician and peers. Information is presented in a way that is both understandable and appealing to young children in school age and adolescents. Preschool children will be studied as a separate user group to address their needs and possibilities to meet them. The Cherry system wants to utilize Internet and mobile technologies to benefit patient outcome.

Extending the NegEx Lexicon for Multiple Languages
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 14th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics. - : IOS Press. - 9781614992882 - 9781614992899 ; , s. 677-681
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We translated an existing English negation lexicon (NegEx) to Swedish, French, and German and compared the lexicon on corpora from each language. We observed Zipf’s law for all languages, i.e., a few phrases occur a large number of times, and a large number of phrases occur fewer times. Negation triggers “no” and “not” were common for all languages; however, other triggers varied considerably. The lexicon is available in OWL and RDF format and can be extended to other languages. We discuss the challenges in translating negation triggers to other languages and issues in representing multilingual lexical knowledge.

User-Directed Coordination in SNOMED CT
- 2013
-
Ingår i: MedInfo 2013. - Amsterdam : IOS Press. - 9781614992882 ; , s. 72-76
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The possibility of post-coordination of SNOMED CT concepts, especially by clinical users, is both an asset and a challenge for SNOMED CT implementation. To get insight in the applicability of post-coordination, we analyzed scenarios for user-directed coordination that are described in the documentation of SNOMED CT. The analyses were based on experiences from previous and ongoing research and implementation work, including national mapping projects, and investigations on collection of data for multiple uses. These scenarios show various usability and representation problems: high number of relationships for refinement and qualification, improper options for refinement, incorrect formal definitions, and lack of support for applying editorial rules. Improved user-directed coordination in SNOMED CT in real practice requires advanced sanctioning, increased consistency of definitions of concepts in SNOMED CT, and real-time analysis of the post-coordinate expression.

Barriers to the reuse of routinely recorded clinical data : a field report
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of Studies in Health Technology & Informatics, vol.192. - : IOS Press. - 9781614992882 - 9781614992899 ; , s. 313-317
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today, clinical data is routinely recorded in vast amounts, but its reuse can be challenging. A secondary use that should ideally be based on previously collected clinical data is the computation of clinical quality indicators. In the present study, we attempted to retrieve all data from our hospital that is required to compute a set of quality indicators in the domain of colorectal cancer surgery. We categorised the barriers that we encountered in the scope of this project according to an existing framework, and provide recommendations on how to prevent or surmount these barriers. Assuming that our case is not unique, these recommendations might be applicable for the design, evaluation and optimisation of Electronic Health Records.

Mobility and health information searches - a Swedish perspective
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 14th world congress on medical and health informatics, MEDINFO 2013. - 0926-9630 .- 1879-8365. - 9781614992882 ; 192
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today the first point of contact between a patient and health care is often an internet health portal - not a human. There is also a trend towards increased use of mobile devices for internet searching. We present a study of the use of mobile vs non-mobile devices when accessing the main Swedish official health portal. Our findings indicate that there is a difference in not only when people search for health information, but also the type of information searched for using different devices. We conclude that further analysis is needed to understand these differences, and consequently that the same portal solution may not suit both mobile and non-mobile health information seekers.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- eHealth indicator and benchmarking activities are rapidly increasing nationally and internationally. The work is rarely based on a transparent methodology for indicator definition. This article describes first results of testing an indicator methodology for defining eHealth indicators, which was reported at the Medical Informatics Europe conference in 2012. The core elements of the methodology are illustrated, demonstrating validation of each of them in the context of Nordic eHealth Indicator work. Validation proved the importance of conducting each of the steps of the methodology, with several scientific as well as practical outcomes. The article is based on a report to be published by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Composite Quality of Care Scores, Electronic Health Record Maturity Models, and their Associations; Preliminary Literature Review Results.
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of Studies in Health Technology & Informatics, vol. 192. - 9781614992882 - 9781614992899 ; , s. 981-981
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- To accurately assess the association between the use of EHR systems and the quality of healthcare we need (composite) measures for quality of healthcare, and a model to measure the maturity of the EHR. This Medline-based literature study therefore focussed on three topics; (1) methods to compose a measure for quality of care based on individual quality indicators (QI), (2) models to measure EHR maturity, and (3) the association between the former two. Composite quality is most often measured using opportunity-based scores, maturity is measured in functionalities or levels. EHR maturity measures are not used extensively in biomedical literature. Most studies found a positive association between EHR use and the quality of care but almost none of them differentiate in maturity of EHR which hampers firm conclusions about this relation.
