Assembling data and knowledge at the point of care to improve medical decision making and prevent errors

Objective

A large number of patients are harmed by Wrong decisions and by medical errors. Data and knowledge needed to reach a correct decision and prevent errors are many times stored in the electronic universe but not available for use. Means to prevent errors are easy to envision in an electronic environment, but are seldom employed. Our main objective is to bring together at the point of care all information available on patients in the electronic accessible universe, together With relevant knowledge and evidence; and make use of this data and knowledge in computerised decision support modules, to improve medical decision-making and prevent medical errors.

Thus we intend to implement:
(1) A system that will prepare and deliver to the point of care a fully integrated patient-object including all data available on the patient in the electronic universe.
(2) A generic mechanism for intelligent decision support that will be triggered by patient profiles based mainly on causal probabilistic models and use it to construct modules that will address main problems in medical decision-making and medical error prevention.
(3) A generic application for harvesting best evidence and knowledge available from high-quality peer-reviewed resources and present it to the clinician in a convenient and uniform format, at the point of care
(4) Innovational computing techniques (mainly distributed computing) and advanced security solutions, in order to afford speed, flexibility and safety to the application, and remove obstacles to sharing of information.
(5) An innovative interface that will allow the platform to interface seamlessly with the clinician at the point of care.
(6) integration of all components and validation in 4 medical centres in 4 countries, to demonstrate its potential to reduce errors and improve decision-making.
(7) Convert research results into exploitable systems.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
