AI Article Synopsis

  • The paper presents a method for planning patient records focused on structured data entry in cooperative settings, enhancing multipurpose usage and shared data entry.
  • The method involves five key steps: analyzing current documentation systems, implementing a terminology management system (TMS), developing a documentation management system (DMS), planning logical architecture, and ensuring access to necessary tools.
  • The authors emphasize that effective cooperative care in the eHealth era requires efficient shared data entry, highlighting the need for systematic planning by the medical informatics community, especially in complex technological environments.

Article Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a method for systematically planning patient records for structured data entry that can be used in cooperative environments (e.g. cooperative care, multicenter trials) in a way that enables multipurpose use and shared data entry.

Methods: Design research, formal logic.

Results: The method suggests five steps: analyze the prevailing documentation infrastructure, provide terminology management system (TMS), provide documentation management system (DMS), plan the logical architecture, provide all necessary tools.

Conclusions: The era of eHealth enables cooperative care and collaborative documentation. This can only be efficient if a multiple use and shared entry of data is realized. The task of the medical informatics community is to plan these environments systematically especially in complex environments which are enabled by emerging technologies.

Eusociality, characterized by reproductive division of labor, cooperative brood care, and multi-generational cohabitation, represents a pinnacle of complex social evolution, most notably manifested within the Hymenoptera order including bees, ants, and wasps. The molecular underpinnings underlying these sophisticated social structures remain an enigma, with noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) emerging as crucial regulatory players. This article delves into the roles of ncRNAs in exerting epigenetic control during the development and maintenance of Hymenopteran eusociality.

Background: Integration of clinical medicine and other subjects has laid more emphasis on the cultivation of high-quality medical talents, with the increasing demand for interprofessional education (IPE). IPE has been promoted by a number of universities to create and sustain authentic IPE activities, with which students can engage. Although IPE has achieved certain results, there are still many problems.
