e-Health: Data Integration, Data Mining, and Knowledge Management in Health Informatics
Abstract
In last few decades, with the advent of database
systems and networking technologies, a huge volume of health data and
valuable medical knowledge have been electronically available,
accessible and processible, especially over the virtual cyberspace - the
Web, even from a remote corner in the world. Nowadays the wide
deployment of Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS) and Web
based clinical or medical systems, for example, the Medical Director, a
generic GP clinical system, have made it possible to record, disseminate
and implement the health information and clinical practices easily and
globally. And health care and medical service is becoming more
data-intensive and evidence-based since electronic health records are
used to track individuals' and communities' health information
(particularly changes). These substantially motivate and advance the
emergence and the progress of data-centric health data and knowledge
management research and practice, for example, Health Informatics. In
this presentation, we will introduce several case studies and research
projects to address the challenges encountered in health service. These
include data exchange and health service Integration in health
information systems, health information visualisation, data mining and
data analyse for patient care management. We will then introduce a
framework of data integration, knowledge management and user behaviour
modelling for complementing and improving existing health care and
service systems.
