In recent years, many Personal Health Record (PHR) systems have been developed to retrieve patients’ Electonic Health Records (EHRs) from external sources. However, current PHRs can provide access to only a small number of EHR systems, since there are many di erent interfaces, data formats and medical terminologies among di erent systems. When this is the case, all these diversity yields high integration costs. Development of such systems is di cult and expensive because of the reasons such as accessing to evidence based medical information, utilization of social networks to share information, incorporation of available medical knowledge models, etc. Due to the technical diversity of external information systems, a developer of a PHR system faces a di cult integration process when he wants to integrate a new source or service. Integration of medical devices is also important and necessary in a PHR system. However, most of the medical device vendors use proprietary formats and protocols for communicating their devices with external systems; again, causing high integration e orts and costs. In this thesis, these problems and challenges are addressed by providing an on-line personal iv healthcare management platform, i.e. eSaglikKaydim which is built on top of a highly modular architecture and provides services based on worldwide standards. In this way, eSaglikKaydim platform can be integrated with any external health information service and medical device so that it maximizes the data variety retrieved from all kinds of external health data sources. The work presented in this thesis is part of the OSAmI project supported by European ITEA and funded by the TU¨ BI˙TAK TEYDEB Project No: 9080004.

An Extensible security infrastructure for the secondary use of electronic health records in clinical research
Eryılmaz, Elif; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
In order to facilitate clinical research studies re-using Electronic Health Records (EHR) has a great potential. Besides interoperability, safeguarding the security and privacy of the medical data in the context of secondary use for clinical research is one of the most important challenges in this respect. In order to ensure that the clinical information is shared among EHR systems and clinical research systems in an ethical and safe way, there needs to be standards-based and adaptable security and privacy ...
A Secure Semantic Interoperability Infrastructure for Inter-Enterprise Sharing of Electronic Healthcare Records
Boniface, Mike; Watkins, E. Rowland; Saleh, Ahmed; Doğaç, Asuman; Eichelberg, Marco (2006-06-09)
Healthcare professionals need access to accurate and complete healthcare records for effective assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients. The non-interoperability of healthcare information systems means that inter-enterprise access to a patient's history over many distributed encounters is difficult to achieve. The ARTEMIS project has developed a secure semantic web service infrastructure for the interoperability of healthcare information systems. Healthcare professionals share services and medical in...
Evaluation of and electronic medical record system Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital survey
Erdil, Erkan; Albayrak, Ali Sait (2010-01-01)
This study investigated the electronic medical record system (EMR) of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital which is in use for the last six years. The recommendations for the development of EMR and more efficient use of the system are principle goal of this study. The purposes of this study include promoting the implementation of EMR by introducing the advantages and disadvantages from the user’s point of view. While the successful applications of EMR systems are evident in western word, the implementati...
A Multi-layer model for privacy preserving policy making for disclosure of public health data
Alizadeh Mizani, Mehrdad; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Medical Informatics (2013)
Health organizations in Turkey collect ever-increasing amount of individual data are valuable source of information for public health research. However, due to privacy risks, they publish data in aggregated rather than individual forms. The lack of standardized policies regarding secondary uses of health data leads to ineffectiveness of available technical methods. As a result, access to and utilization of person-specific datasets by public health researchers become extremely cumbersome. The bias introduced...
Evaluation of an electronic medical record system : Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital survey
Uğurbaş, Suat Hayri; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2006)
The present study investigated the electronic medical record system (EMR) of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital which is used for six years now. The advantages and disadvantages of an EMR system in comparison with paper medical records were evaluated based on the user’s opinion. The recommendations for the development of EMR and more efficient use of the system are principle goals of this study. The purposes of this thesis include promoting the implantation of EMR by introducing the advantages and disa...
