An Intelligent National Electronic Health Record System

An intelligent EHR is a current and active research area that belongs to Health Informatics. The idea is to build an intelligent system (could be based on data mining) that helps medical and healthcare professionals to choose the right treatment and medications based on the patient medical history and the current situation. Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a system where patient medical information is stored in one system that can be accessed through the Internet. In this project we designed a web based system to combine all the required information in one place where patients, doctors and other healthcare professionals can have different level of access to patients and clinical data. Patients are the main actors in the system. Every patient has his/her own profile where all his/her medical history, medical information, outpatient visits, inpatient visits & emergency situations are recorded in this profile. So whenever a doctor or a patient wishes to have a look at a patient’s record then he/she will just login to the patient’s account through Internet. Patients are free to visit any medical organizations/hospitals, and all these organizations share one file of that patient. With this significant centralization, all the doctors are out of pressure when making such a decision because of the help of centralization of the patients’ information, according to the medical history of the patient. It does not stop here, but this system includes the outpatients and inpatients to take care of. Outpatients have the abilities to book a visit to a particular doctor in a specific hospital/medical organization through the web. Inpatients are, also, involved in this system. They are able to be tracked for accuracy (e.g. to record every action has taken by a doctor or a nurse). All the visits and emergency situations can be converted into an inpatient situation where the doctors and nurses will be tracked, also, for forming a medical history that will benefit all the doctors who will treat that specific patient in the future. The system keeps all events data in a database which will help researchers to conduct research studies based on patients data. The intelligent aspects of the system will manifest in assisting doctors to choose the most optimal treatments and the suitable medications
