Article Synopsis
  • Corneal transplantation is a vital surgical procedure for restoring vision, but existing electronic health records (EHRs) are often inconsistent and fragmented, causing issues in patient data management and safety.
  • This research advocates for the adoption of openEHR structures to standardize records related to corneal transplantation, aiming to improve data quality and sharing among healthcare providers.
  • The study implemented openEHR specifications through collaboration with healthcare professionals, resulting in a streamlined solution that was successfully integrated into a Portuguese hospital, enhancing clinical practices involved in corneal transplantation.

Hospitals generate large amounts of data on a daily basis, but most of the time that data is just an overwhelming amount of information which never transitions to knowledge. Through the application of Data Mining techniques it is possible to find hidden relations or patterns among the data and convert those into knowledge that can further be used to aid in the decision-making of hospital professionals. This study aims to use information about patients with diabetes, which is a chronic (long-term) condition that occurs when the body does not produce enough or any insulin.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) aredisorders of the heart and blood vessels and are a major cause of disability and premature death worldwide. Individuals at higher risk of developing CVD must be noticed at an early stage to prevent premature deaths. Advances in the field of computational intelligence, together with the vast amount of data produced daily in clinical settings, have made it possible to create recognition systems capable of identifying hidden patterns and useful information.
