“…Literature also found that different legal frameworks and EHR systems among countries [52] as well as widely diverging views among European policymakers, make it hard to find common ground and thus limit the use of eHealth [53]. In particular, clear legislative frameworks (e.g.…”

a b s t r a c tIntroduction: Care for people with multimorbidity requires an integrated approach in order to adequately meet their complex needs. In this respect eHealth could be of help. This paper aims to describe the implementation, as well as benefits and barriers of eHealth applications in integrated care programs targeting people with multimorbidity in European countries, including insights on older people 65+. Methods: Within the framework of the ICARE4EU project, in 2014, expert organizations in 24 European countries identified 101 integrated care programs based on selected inclusion criteria. Managers of these programs completed a related on-line questionnaire addressing various aspects including the use of eHealth. In this paper we analyze data from this questionnaire, in addition to qualitative information from six programs which were selected as 'high potential' for their innovative approach and studied in depth through site visits. Results: Out of 101 programs, 85 adopted eHealth applications, of which 42 focused explicitly on older people. In most cases Electronic Health Records (EHRs), registration databases with patients' data and tools for communication between care providers were implemented. Percentages were slightly higher for programs addressing older people. eHealth improves care integration and management processes. Inadequate funding mechanisms, interoperability and technical support represent major barriers. Conclusion: Findings seems to suggest that eHealth could support integrated care for (older) people with multimorbidity.

Once a medical identity theft has occurred, getting a medical record amended can be a very challenging job because of the threatening changes involved [28,29].…”

Health record management is an important and challenging task. Utilization of technologies in health care, particularly the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) offers a wide variety of benefits. Better healthcare is provided by EHR by improving all aspects of health care. This paper aims to do an extensive review of existing literature on the issues and expectations concerning consumers and physicians in the development of EHR. In this paper, based on the issues, recommendations are made, and future directions explored.

Abstract. Precision medicine or evidence based medicine is based on the extraction of knowledge from medical records to provide individuals with the appropriate treatment in the appropriate moment according to the patient features. Despite the efforts of using clinical narratives for clinical decision support, many challenges have to be faced still today such as multilinguarity, diversity of terms and formats in different ser vices, acronyms, negation, to name but a few. The same problems exist when one wants to analyze narratives in literature whose analysis would provide physicians and researchers with highlights. In this talk we will analyze challenges, solutions and open problems and will analyze several frameworks and tools that are able to perform NLP over free text to extract medical entities by means of Named Entity Recognition process. We will also analyze a framework we have developed to extract and val idate medical terms. In particular we present two uses cases: (i) medical entities extraction of a set of infectious diseases description texts pro vided by MedlinePlus and (ii) scales of stroke identification in clinical narratives written in Spanish.
