Feature Interpretation Support for Comparing Newcomers and Veterans in Electronic Health Records

Abstract

The electronic medical records are written by nurses. There is a difference between the newcomer's description and veteran's description. In this study, the system creates the medical record sets of newcomers and veterans. The system supports users to discover features and differences in each medical record set. By using the system, newcomers can learn how veterans write the electronic medical record. Specifically, the system shrinks by the year of the length of experience and keywords that medical records include. The system draws and displays maps from shrunk electronic medical record sets. In addition, the system displays the words that are contained in medical record sets or in the map.
