Addressing the challenges of leveraging the rich information found in electronic health records (EHRs), this book explores the technology to unleash the data stored in EHRs. It tackles medical privacy concerns, the lack of standardization for the representation of EHRs, missing or incorrect values, and the availability of multiple rich health ontologies. The book looks at how to search the EHR collection given a user query and return relevant fragments from the EHRs. It explains how to mine the EHR collection to extract interesting patterns, group entities to various classes, or decide whether an EHR satisfies a given property. The text also discusses the processing of medical images.
