  • An Empirical Case Analysis on the Vendor Products with Electronic
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 An Empirical Case Analysis on the Vendor Products with Electronic Health Records on Global Perspectives Ali Fahem Neamah Computer science and IT faculty, wasit university Iraq [email protected] Abstract The maintenance and logging in the health records is always required so that the overall predictive mining can be done on the patient records. In addition, the recording and maintenance of electronic health records is quite mandatory whereby the digital repository related to the patient is very important so that the future based predictions and the analytics can be retained. In addition to this, the patient records are providing the medical practitioners the higher degree of accuracy in the predictions and the aspects related to the knowledge discovery about that particular patient to have the effectiveness. By this way, the overall medical records can be maintained. In this research manuscript, the enormous tools and the vendors are presented usable for the electronic health records. The presented work is having the cavernous analytics on the vendor products associated with the electronic health records whereby the global perspectives and data analytics are cited. Keywords:Electronic Health Records, EHR, EMR, Electronic Medical Records Introduction Electronic Health Records (EHR) as well as Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are very important for the integration of records associated with the patients so that the overall records can be maintained about the specific set of patients [1, 2]. There are assorted suites and libraries for the electronic health and medical records thereby the medical records are logged for the future usage [3, 4, 5].

The aim of this research was to identify the main attributes of the free software development model for health informatics projects used to computerize a medical office or a small clinic, that ensures their success. Material and methods: Our study has assessed the benefits that electronics health records can bring to small health care facilities by analyzing a limited number of open source software suites in the area of medical informatics. We have investigated the way in which these benefits may be achieved by implementing the presented software solutions, taking care to highlight the peculiarities of the open source model of development that prove to be differentiating factors against equivalent closed source commercial solutions. Results: The paper presents the facts about the projects and the assessment criteria used in the study: developer community, user community, online resources, user interface ergonomy, documentation, hardware requirements. Conclusion: The main attributes of the free software development model for health informatics projects used to computerize a medical office or a small clinic that ensures their success, were: clarity, simplicity, extensibility, documentation.
