We have developed a tool for annotation of electronic health record (EHR) data. Currently we are in the process of manually annotating a corpus of Norwegian general practitioners' EHRs with mainly linguistic information. The purpose of this project is to attain a linguistically annotated corpus of patient histories from general practice. This corpus will be put to future use in medical language processing and information extraction applications. The paper outlines some of our practical experiences from developing such a corpus and, in particular, the effects of semi-automated annotation. We have also done some preliminary experiments with part-of-speech tagging based on our corpus. The results indicated that relevant training data from the clinical domain gives better results for the tagging task in this domain than training the tagger on a corpus form a more general domain. We are planning to expand the corpus annotations with medical information at a later stage.

ln general, hospital information system should provide interoperability hat usually and operate independence of other HIS. This study proposes a new HIS paradigm that can be implemented within standard HL7 Interface engine and clinical data repository (CDR). We have developed an alternative architecture relying on agent solutions with distributed queries to heterogeneous databases. This architecture creates a very fine and flexible repository that can handle queries with the bases of standard HL7 messaging structure. Deploying Agent solutions to manipulate autonomy of storage management and sociality for communication with open world is another issue that keeps this system from reinventing existing wheels in medical informatics. This study the first attempt to construct CDR based private clinic. We used the information stored in the clinical patient record system of the internal medicine private hospital which is used rational database. We were searched increasing the 1,000 data entry from 1,000 to 10,000. By the result, experimental CDR showed highly efficient performance more than 6,000. In the future, the CDR can be further extended for clinical information among private hospitals estranged from EHR (Electronic Health Records).

e-Business in healthcare sector has been called e-Health, which is evolving into u-Health with advances of ubiquitous technologies. Seamless information sharing among health organizations is being discussed in many nations including USA, UK, Australia and Korea. Efforts for establishing the electronic health record (EHR) system and a nation-wide information sharing environment are called NHII (National Health Information Infrastructure) initiatives. With the advent of u-Health and progress of health information systems, information security issues in healthcare sector have become a very significant problem. In this paper, we analyze several issues on health information security occurring in u-Health environment and develop an information security standard for protecting health information. It is expected that the standard proposed in this work could be established as a national standard after sufficient reviews by information security experts, stakeholders in healthcare sector, and health professionals. Health organizations can establish comprehensive information security systems and protect health information more effectively using the standard. The result of this paper also contributes to relieving worries about privacy and security of individually identifiable health information brought by NHII implementation and u-Health systems.

For regulatory approval of a new drug, the most preferred and reliable source of evidence would be randomized controlled trials (RCT). However, a great number of drugs, being developed as well as already marketed and being used, usually lack proper indications for children. It is imperative to develop properly evaluated drugs for children. And expanding the use of already approved drugs for other indications will benefit patients and the society. Nevertheless, to get an approval for expansion of indications, most often with off-label experiences, for drugs that have been approved or for the development of pediatric indications, either during or after completing the main drug development, conducting RCTs may not be the only, if not right, way to take. Extrapolation strategies and modelling & simulation for pediatric drug development are paving the road to the better approval scheme. Making the use of data sources other than RCT such as EHR and claims data in ways that improve the efficiency and validity of the results (e.g., randomized pragmatic trial and randomized registry trial) has been the topic of great interest all around the world. Regulatory authorities should adopt new methodologies for regulatory approval processes to adapt to the changes brought by increasing availability of big and real world data utilizing new tools of technological advancement.

Accuracy of mappings is the key for achieving true interoperability among different healthcare systems. The initial step towards interoperable healthcare systems is compliancy with healthcare standards (HL7, openEHR, CEN 13606). Ontologies for these standards are developed that require ontology matching to generate generalized ontology mappings. Organizations conform to specific concepts of different standards based on their requirements. This step is called as conformance claims and is based on Personalized-Detailed Clinical Model. It invalidates some of the generalized mappings because of non-conformed concepts and leads to the necessity of the proposed technique of customized ontology mappings. These customized ontology mappings compliment the generalized ontology mapping to increase the level of accuracy of mappings and thus achieving data interoperability. The proposed system ensures quality of care to patients by timely delivery of healthcare information.

전자의무기록(Electronic Medical Record, EMR) 시스템은 기존에 수기로 작성하던 의무기록을 디지털화 한 것이다. 이는 다양한 장점이 있지만 의료인이 관리 도메인을 통해 환자의 정보를 세밀하게 수집할 수 있는 환자 개인의 프라이버시 침해 문제가 발생하게 된다. 즉, 관계자에 의해 의도적인 유출이 발생하거나 의료정보의 거래, 복제 등 위험성이 존재한다. 특히 일부 의료정보는 고용 차별이나 사회적 차별 등 환자에게 정신적 고통을 안겨줄 수 있다. 이러한 프라이버시 침해는 유전성 질환 유전자를 가진 사람에게 유전적 요인에 근거하는 고용 차별이 발생할 수 있다. 관련연구에서는 환자의 임상적(Clinical) 또는 유전적(Genomic) 정보가 자신의 신원과 연계되어 있다면 프라이버시 침해가 발생할 수 있음을 나타낸다. 이러한 프라이버시 문제로 인해 EMR 시스템에 기반을 둔 전자건강기록(Electronic Health Record, EHR) 시스템 또한 개인 프라이버시 침해의 위험이 존재하게 된다. 따라서 의료정보의 프라이버시 보호를 위해 부당한 고용 차별 보험 차별 사회적 차별로 연결될 수 있는 개인 의료정보의 유출방지, 타인에게 알려지고 싶지 않은 개인 의료정보가 무단으로 거래되지 않는 것을 보장해야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 의무기록의 익명화를 통해 환자와 의무기록 간의 관계를 제거하는 여러 방법들을 소개한다.

Objective: Various controlled vocabulary such as thesaurus and classification make us to reuse and share effectively by defining different concept and linking terms each other. The UMLS(Unified Medical Language System) is one of the most universal medical terminology systems. It is needed various methods to share and reuse information of traditional Korean medicine. We will research on method that adopt SUI of the UMLS(that is de facto standard in medical terminology system) in traditional Korean medical terminology. Method: We described major problems and applying process when we tried to add traditional Korean medicine in the part of meridian into the UMLS metathesaurus. Comparing western medical terms and traditional Korean medical terms for applying UMLS metathesaurus, there is not only many consistency, but also differences. Result: We confirmed what is the differences and consistency between western medical terms and traditional Korean medical terms. And then reviewed methods that apply the CUI, LUI, SUI in traditional Korean medical terms. Traditional Korean medical terms are not discriminated by singular or plural string. In addition, traditional Korean medical terms have vary string by initial law: the law of initial sound of a syllable. Character is described with Korean, traditional Chinese, modern Chinese, etc. According to meaning, language, initial law, SUI has a distinct value respectively. Conclusion: There are many differences to apply the UMLS between western medical terms and traditional Korean medical terms. For the better implementation to traditional Korean medicine into the UMLS, further research is needed in standardization and classification of traditional Korean medical terms, medical information system, etc. We hope this study helps the implementation UMLS, EHR, knowledge based system in Oriental medicine in the future.
