Bio Medical Informatics in the Era of Electric Patient Record System

Abstract

 The electric patient record (EPR) system is utilized to record the course of medical treatment, to count the consumption of resources such as drugs, medicines and materials, to analyze the critical pathway and manage the clinical outcome, and to optimize the medical pathway. All kinds of clinical data type are handled and every patient clinical record is stored in the clinical data repository. These EPR environments in the hospital are powerful tools to pave the way for the development of new medicines and to analyze the pharmacogenomical response to an individual patient in the post genome period. The data processing techniques such as a data mining technique and a online analytical processing technique are applied for the long-term archived CDR data, which fact is a new energy to create and produce the next generation’s bio-medical informatics in the era of EPR.
