Funded Activity Summary

Invoking consistency of meaning in data integration and extraction for Electronic Health Records. Many governments want to implement an Electronic Health Record. Such a Record is a summary of events in an individual's medical history derived from diverse medical databases. Only some summaries are relevant to any medical condition. This project is to address these converse issues of data integration and extraction. Summaries must have variable structure according to event, and must be consistently drawn from datasets which have consistent meaning. We will extend a formal mathematical approach successfully developed for checking conformity of databases. NSW Health Department is partnering us, because the outcomes represent a step toward a practical Electronic Health Record.
