Unstructured Clinical Data Reuse for Precision Medicine Workshop

Medinfo 2017 Workshop:

Unstructured Clinical Data Reuse for Precision Medicine: Current Status and Future Progress

August 24, 2017 (15:00-16:30)

The fast growing adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems results in large quantities of electronic clinical data becoming available. Secondary use, or reuse, of these clinical data is essential to fulfill the potentials for high-quality healthcare, improved healthcare management, and effective clinical research. Clinical data reuse is defined as uses other than personal medical care such as research, public health, quality improvement, and commercial marketing. These uses have many differences but also similarities in expected outcomes, user needs, data protection requirements and ethical concerns.

This workshop offers presentations by domain experts in unstructured clinical data reuse for research and quality improvement. Presentations will focus on automated treatment quality assessment, enhanced patient satisfaction, text mining for personalized cancer treatment, and other related topics.

This panel is sponsored by the IMIA Health Information Systems and Language & Meaning in Biomedicine working groups.
