Extending Snomed to Include Explanatory Reasoning
The field of medical informatics comprises many subdisciplines, united by a common interest in the establishment of standards to facilitate the sharing, reuse, and understanding of information. This work depends in large part on the ability of controlled medical terminologies to represent relevant …

The integration of hospital information systems through user centred design.
… makes a valuable contribution to the areas of medical informatics and HCI. It shows that TAKD has real but limited applicability in this sphere, in that its use can lead to the design of more usable interfaces, while there is a need to combine it with methods aimed at broader systems design if …

Developing information systems technology within NHS wound clinics: an evaluation
The diffusion of information and communication technology (ICT) into healthcare has been generally low. This varies with application and setting, but at the point of care clinical level it has been particularly slow. The ICT niche in clinics has been recognised in numerous publications, where it …

Data-driven approach to identifying sub-types of adult asthma from primary care electronic health records
Asthma is increasingly recognised as an umbrella term to describe a number of distinct clinical presentations (phenotypes) with underlying physiological mechanisms (endotypes). Numerous phenotypes and endotypes of asthma have been proposed, both using hypothesis-driven and, more recently, …

Safe medical device interaction rules
The advent of computerized medical devices has resulted in better accuracy and increased safety for patients and clinicians, yet medical accidents are still not uncommon. With the computerized medical devices and their technical complexity, any given clinical environment is a composition of complex …

Learning from class-imbalanced data: overlap-driven resampling for imbalanced data classification.
Classification of imbalanced datasets has attracted substantial research interest over the past years. This is because imbalanced datasets are common in several domains such as health, finance and security, but learning algorithms are generally not designed to handle them. Many existing solutions …
