Electronic Blood Tracking: improving blood management and patient safety
Juan Adriano Moran

The Centre for Health Informatics at City University
London was commissioned by NHS CFH to undertake a full independent
multi- method evaluation of the Croydon University Hospital pilot to ensure that the process is recorded
user views are accounted for
and recommendations about the implementation and effectiveness are useful to share with other NHS Trusts looking to use the IT specification. The evaluation was collaborative with the Croydon University Hospital and CFH
and incorporated formative
summative and comparative elements using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.\nThe findings of the quantitative analysis of system usage
user expectations
satisfaction and perceived effectiveness have been triangulated against the results of the qualitative stakeholder analysis and usability evaluations.
Electronic Blood Tracking: improving blood management and patient safety
Potentials of Web 2.0 for Diabetes Education of Adolescent Patients
Generation of entity coreference chains provides a means to extract linked narrative events from clinical notes
but despite being a well-researched topic in natural language processing
general-purpose coreference tools perform poorly on clinical texts. This paper presents a knowledge-centric and pattern-based approach to resolving coreference across a wide variety of clinical records from two corpora (Ontology Development and Information Extraction (ODIE) and i2b2/VA)
and describes a method for generating coreference chains using progressively pruned linked lists that reduces the search space and facilitates evaluation by a number of metrics. Independent evaluation results give an F-measure for each corpus of 79.2% and 87.5%
respectively. A baseline of blind coreference of mentions of the same class gives F-measures of 65.3% and 51.9% respectively. For the ODIE corpus
recall is significantly improved over the baseline (p < 0.05) but overall there was no statistically significant improvement in F-measure (p > 0.05). For the i2b2/VA corpus
recall
precision
and F-measure are significantly improved over the baseline (p < 0.05). Overall
our approach offers performance at least as good as human annotators and greatly increased performance over general-purpose tools. The system uses a number of open-source components that are available to download.

There is a need to integrate the various theoretical frameworks and formalisms for modeling clinical guidelines
workflows
and pathways
in order to move beyond providing support for individual clinical decisions and toward the provision of process-oriented
patient-centered
health information systems (HIS). In this review
we analyze the challenges in developing process-oriented HIS that integrate these models.
