Integration of EHR and PHR leveraging cloud services for approving treatments
Keywords:
electronic health records (EHR), personal health records (PHR), electronic medical records (EMR), cloud, ETLAbstract
Historically clinicians have been prescribing treatment to patients based on their visit to the hospital without referring to previous health records of the patients. This is primarily because clinicians do not have access to patient’s medical records. Though, with digital revolution in healthcare domain, patient’s medical history is available via Patient Health Records using Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Personal Health Records (PHR) systems. However, as EHR and PHR are maintained as separate systems in isolated manner, efficient accessibility of these systems is still very limited. To provide a unified view of patient data to the providers and the patients, integrated data resulting from such system not only allow to access past health records of patients, but further leverage PHRs data to provide quality treatment by examining the effect of treatment on patient’s health. Data integration techniques such as ETL and Cloud based technologies can be used to develop a system which provides real-time integration of healthcare data sourced & streamed from various healthcare systems. It will leverage the recommendations of quality treatments to the patients as well as the clinicians from cohesive view of integrated EHR and PHR data.
