Abstract

The healthcare professionals have critical needs for general purpose query capabilities. These users increasingly require the use of information technology. The query needs cannot be met by form based user interfaces (or through the aids such as, the query builder). Further, the archetype-based Electronic Health Records (EHRs) databases are more complex, as compared with the traditional database systems. The present study examines a new way to support general purpose user level query language interface for querying EHR data. It presents the user with user's view of clinical concepts, without requiring any intricate knowledge of an object or stored structures. It enables clinicians and researchers to pose general purpose queries, over archetype-based Electronic Health Record systems.
