Abstract
A mechanism for transferring data from a first data record, in a source clinical information system, to a second data record, in a (different) destination clinical information system. A source data element, from the first data record, and a destination data element, from the second data record, are identified. A check is performed that both the first and second data records relate to a same clinical subject. Only if the check is passed is data transferred from the source data element to the destination data element.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for transferring data from a source clinical information system to a destination clinical information system, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a desired source data element in a first data record in the source clinical information system;
- identifying a desired destination data element in a second data record in the destination clinical information system, wherein the desired source data element contains data for transferal to the desired destination data element;
- processing information in the first data record and information in the second data record to predict whether or not the first and second data records relate to a same clinical subject;
- responsive to predicting that the first and second data records relate to the same clinical subject, copying data in the desired source data element to the desired destination data element;
- and
- responsive to predicting that the first and second data records do not relate to the same clinical subject, preventing the copying of data in the desired source data element to the desired destination data element.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored a computer program comprising instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- identify a desired source data element in a first data record in the source clinical information system;
- identify a desired destination data element in a second data record in the destination clinical information system, wherein the desired source data element contains data for transferal to the desired destination data element;
- process information in the first data record and information in the second data record to predict whether or not the first and second data records relate to a same clinical subject;
- responsive to predicting that the first and second data records relate to the same clinical subject, copy data in the desired source data element to the desired destination data element;
- and
- responsive to predicting that the first and second data records do not relate to the same clinical subject, prevent the copying of data in the desired source data element to the desired destination data element.
A processing system for transferring data from a source clinical information system to a destination clinical information system, the processing system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- identify a desired source data element in a first data record in the source clinical information system;
- identify a desired destination data element in a second data record in the destination clinical information system, wherein the desired source data element contains data for transferal to the desired destination data element;
- process information in the first data record and information in the second data record to predict whether or not the first and second data records relate to a same clinical subject;
- responsive to predicting that the first and second data records relate to the same clinical subject, copy data in the desired source data element to the desired destination data element;
- and
- responsive to predicting that the first and second data records do not relate to the same clinical subject, prevent the copying of data in the desired source data element to the desired destination data element.
