A development of conceptual framework for structured data entry in procedure.

Abstract

This study was performed to provide the well-designed conceptual framework of clinical contents in procedures that enables clinicians to execute structured data entry at the point of care. The conceptual framework was developed through applying the ISO's conceptual framework for clinical contents modeling, semantic structuring, and using the Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) model for data representation. We provided the conceptual framework in procedures, including twenty-one attributes and structured clinical data sets for operation records that are six diseases based on the conceptual framework.
