Investigation of data representation issues in computerizing clinical practice guidelines in china.

CONCLUSIONS: The obstacles in modeling a clinical guideline and integrating with data in Electronic Health Records include narrative ambiguity of the guideline, gaps and inconsistencies in representing some data items between the guideline and the patient' records, and unavailability of a unified medical coding system. Therefore, collaborations among various participants in developing guidelines and Electronic Health Record specifications is needed in China. PMID: 25152838 [PubMed]
