Temporal-Abstraction Database Mediators Based on Clinical Guidelines
Akash Rajak, Kanak Saxena · 2009
It is almost inconceivable to represent clinical data and reason about them without a temporal dimension. Time is important when time- oriented clinical data are considered as part of various decision support applications, such as determining a diagnosis, prescribing therapy and browsing electronic patient records for management or research purpose. This paper is based on the survey of various clinical- automated systems based on the tasks of temporal- abstraction and temporal-maintenance. Further, we illustrate the integration of above two tasks using temporal mediators and will show how temporal mediators help in managing and maintaining temporal- clinical databases.
