Data integration and analysis of electronic personal health records in a cloud environment
FY 2013-14
Summary
Nature of Work: Analyzing electronic patient health records across multiple sources on a cloud environment to integrate the data for patient access. Building a Universal Health Record for individuals with a hybrid cloud configuration includes building access to existing systems and data in the cloud. The solution has to extract information from a variety of structured and unstructured health sources. The systems include hospital systems, provincial approved clinical system, Kela's patient health record card (pHR) solution, medical imaging systems (PACS), emails, text messages, social network interactions, active/passive cloud based solicitations and scanned paper records. Importance of Research: It will allow Canadians access to their patient health records for self-empowerment of their own health care.Anticipated Outcomes: We plan to mine and integrate the data sources from a medical practice specialty (Cardiology) to consolidate the medical information from diagnostic images, tests and medical systems to provide medical summaries targeted stake holder presentation.Relevance to Company: The results will provide added value of the electronic patient health record services and products to improve the utility of the services to the patients as well as those providing health services. By providing medical summaries targeted to the client stake holders on a cloud platform either for individuals or clinics, this will enable the selling of the pHR card in a retail setting where individuals can load their Universal Health record through the cloud platform.
