OVERVIEW
Electronic Health Record (EHR) databases contain millions of patient records including events such as diagnoses, test results, or medication prescriptions. These records are an invaluable data source for clinical research and improvement of clinical quality, as they provide longitudinal health information about patient populations. The use of EHR databases could be dramatically improved if easy-to-use interfaces allowed clinical researchers and quality improvement analysts to explore complex patterns in order to build and test hypotheses regarding the benefits, risks, and appropriateness of treatments or medication regimens.
Novel strategies in information visualization and visual analytics are needed. The interest in this topic is growing at very rapid pace and is very interdisciplinary by nature, both in terms of field (medicine and computer science) but also in terms of research environment (academic research as well as industry and government agencies). Because of the European location of the conference, we have a unique opportunity to create bridges and explore new collaborations between groups that would have never met otherwise.TOPICS: We will welcome discussions of the use of visual approaches, interaction design, statistical methods, machine learning, etc. Participants may address the needs of a variety of users: clinical researchers, epidemiologists, public health analysts, pharmaco-vigilance experts, physicians, hospital-based quality assurance officers, insurance claim analysts, patients, etc.
- Techniques may address the tasks of exploring:
- Single records (e.g. during medical care physicians are confronted with increasingly complex patient histories from which they must make life-critical treatment decisions.
- Collections of records (e.g. cohorts of clinical trial patients, or entire data warehouses of patent records)
- Interactive patient summaries for clinical use
- Temporal patterns analysis
- Dealing with uncertain and incomplete data
- Comparison of treatment options (for physician or patients)
- Dealing with unstructured data (e.g. natural language)
- Cause and effect analysis
- Retrospective analysis versus hypothesis testing
- Scalability
- De-identification / Privacy
- Case studies
