An eHealth Process Model of Visualization and Exploration to Support Improved Patient Discharge Record Understanding and Medical Knowledge Enhancement.
Harvey Hyman, Warren Fridy · 2014
Abstract. In this paper we examine a two part information retrieval (IR) problem presented in Task 1, of how to design a visual interactive system, to foster better patient understanding of terminologies and vocabularies contained in a discharge summary, and how that system can be used to additionally support the patient’s information retrieval need stemming therefrom. To address this problem set, we apply an IR process model, designed to support context learning and knowledge discovery, based on explicit-implicit and exploration-exploitation schemes. We instantiate the process using an IT artifact (RetrivikaTM) designed to support the search of high volume, context oriented IR collections. The artifact has been built to support the process model, and has been previously validated by Hyman and Fridy in the IR domain of eDiscovery [1].
