Abstract:

It has passed about twenty years since clinical information are stored electronically as a hospital information system. Stored data includes from accounting information to laboratory data and even patient records are now stared to be accumulated. If the implementation of electronic patient records is progressed into the improvement on the efficiency of information retrieval, it may not be a dream for each patient to benefit from the personal database with all the healthcare information, from cradle to tomb. However, although the studies on electronic patient record has been progressed rapidly, reuse of the stored data has not yet been discussed in details. In this paper, data stored in hospital were analyzed. The results show several interesting results, which suggests that the reuse the reuse of stored data will give a powerful tool to support hospital management.
