Error Data Elimination Method Simulation for Meteorological Information Electronic Collection System
Computer Simulation, 2013Co-Authors: Zhao PengAbstract:In this paper,the accurate elimination of meteorological information and Electronic data acquisition system errors were researched.We proposed an error exclusion method for meteorological information and Electronic Collection system in which a secondary fuzzy clustering algorithm using was applied.Furthermore,a means clustering method was used,and the initial classification of meteorological information was performed.The different categories of information in the error message were filtered using the secondary fuzzy clustering method,so that the erroneous data can be eliminated.The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of the results obtained by meteorological information and Electronic Collection system.

patient reported outcomes pros putting the patient perspective in patient centered outcomes research
Medical Care, 2013Co-Authors: Claire F Snyder, Roxanne E Jensen, Jodi B SegalAbstract:Patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) aims to improve care quality and patient outcomes by providing information that patients, clinicians, and family members need regarding treatment alternatives, and emphasizing patient input to inform the research process. PCOR capitalizes on available data sources and generates new evidence to provide timely and relevant information and can be conducted using prospective data Collection, disease registries, Electronic medical records, aggregated results from prior research, and administrative claims. Given PCOR’s emphasis on the patient perspective, methods to incorporate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are critical. PROs are defined by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration as “Any report coming directly from patients… about a health condition and its treatment.” However, PROs have not routinely been collected in a way that facilitates their use in PCOR. Electronic medical records, disease registries, and administrative data have only rarely collected, or been linked to, PROs. Recent technological developments facilitate the Electronic Collection of PROs and linkage of PRO data, offering new opportunities for putting the patient perspective in PCOR. This paper describes the importance of and methods for using PROs for PCOR. We (1) define PROs; (2) identify how PROs can be used in PCOR, and the critical role of Electronic data methods for facilitating the use of PRO data in PCOR; (3) outline the challenges and key unanswered questions that need to be addressed for the routine use of PROs in PCOR; and (4) discuss policy and research interventions to accelerate the integration of PROs with clinical data.

Virtual Information for Patient Care—VIP Care: An Electronic Collection to Promote Learning Among Third-Year Medical Students
Medical reference services quarterly, 2009Co-Authors: Jane IchordAbstract:Virtual Information for Patient Care (VIP Care) is an Electronic Collection of materials assembled to promote learning among Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) clinical clerks. Materials in the Collection are selected on the basis of how well they match the core clerkship learning objectives. Consistent with TUSM curricular emphasis on utilizing evidence from research, VIP Care articles are culled, when possible, from Hirsh Health Sciences Library's Electronic Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) resource Collection. This article describes the VIP Care Collection within the context of the larger Patient Logs project of which it is a part and explains how this Collection helps promote learning. It also reports on the process of compiling the Collection as well as some of the methods librarians have adopted for publicizing the Collection and keeping the content current.

perspectives of rheumatoid arthritis patients on Electronic communication and patient reported outcome data Collection a qualitative study
Arthritis Care and Research, 2019Co-Authors: Iris Navarromillan, Anne Zinski, Sally Shurbaji, Bernadette Johnson, Liana Fraenkel, James H Willig, Maria I Danila, Huifeng Yun, Jeffrey R Curtis, Monika M SaffordAbstract:Objective To identify the perspectives of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on Electronic recording of between-visit disease activity and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and on sharing this information with health care providers or peers. Methods Patients with RA were recruited to participate in focus groups from December 2014 to April 2015. The topic guide and analysis were based on the Andersen-Newman framework. Sessions were audiorecorded, transcribed, independently coded, and analyzed for themes. Results Thirty-one patients participated in 7 focus groups. Their mean ± SD age was 51 ± 13.1 years, 94% were women, 52% were African American, 11% were Hispanic, and 37% were white. Three themes emerged: provider communication, information-seeking about RA, and social and peer support. Participants expressed a willingness to track disease activity data to share with health care providers Electronically if providers would act on the information. Participants envisioned symptom tracking and information sharing as a mechanism to relay and obtain reliable information about RA. Participants were also interested in Electronic communication between visits if it facilitated learning about symptom management and enhanced opportunities for social support among patients with RA. Conclusion Patients with RA may be amenable to Electronic Collection and sharing of PRO-type data between clinical encounters if it facilitates communication with health care providers and provides access to reliable information about RA. Providing patients with social support was important for enhancing PROs Collection by helping them overcome barriers by using Electronic devices and overcome reservations about the value of these data.

Electronic Collection of Multilingual Patient-Reported Outcomes across Europe.
Methods of information in medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Iñaki Soto-rey, M. Rehr, Philipp Bruland, Claudia Zeidler, Claudia Riepe, Sabine Steinke, Sonja Ständer, Martin Dugas, Michael StorckAbstract:Background Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are information provided directly by patients that helps in improving patient diagnosis and treatment. Validated translations of PROs can be used to treat international patients. Electronic systems and especially mobile devices provide a great opportunity for their Collection; however, these systems are normally study-oriented and therefore single language, not scalable, and not interoperable. Objectives This article reports the development of a multicenter, multilingual, and interoperable Electronic PRO (ePRO) system and evaluates its user satisfaction in an international clinical study. Methods The ePRO named “MoPat2” was developed using Java 8 and jQuery Mobile 1.4.5. The system was evaluated in the context of the European dermatology project “European Network on Assessment of Severity and Burden of Pruritus”(PruNet), which aimed to unify the assessment of itch in routine dermatological care in Europe. Twenty-six clinicians and 468 patients from 8 European clinical centers were asked to complete a user satisfaction questionnaire regarding the use of MoPat2 with a tablet personal computer. The results were then analyzed and correlated with the age, gender, and language of the respondents. Results MoPat2 was enhanced with multilingual capabilities and is now able to conduct surveys in several languages, as well as store and display the results in the local language. The interviewed clinicians rated the system with an average score of 2.0 (“good”) in a 1 to 5 Likert scale. Note that 93.9% of the patients (439 of 468) reported having got on well using the system and 88.9% (416 of 456) would be willing to further use it. The age of the patients not willing to further use MoPat2 was, in average, considerably higher than the age of patients willing to use the system. Conclusions This study represents the first use of an ePRO system for the Collection of multilingual PROs in an international, multicenter setting. MoPat2 has been evaluated by both clinicians and patients in the context of a European dermatological study, resulting in a high user satisfaction. The system will be further developed to include new features such as patient follow-ups outside of the clinical setting.
