In this study, our main focus was to understand necessities of a Personal Health Records (PHR) System for managing individuals’ health and genetic information. Recently the outcomes of Human Genome Project have begun to transform the clinic practice but still there is very limited number of studies in the area of genetic information exchange. Especially, the management of genetic information in the electronic environment and concerns about its security and privacy requires further research at national and international level. Turkish banking system has been a successful example for the implementation of security and privacy measures in both online and mobile platforms for managing sensitive information at personal level. Therefore, we have proposed that implementation of online banking systems’ security measures in PHR systems might ease the adaptation of PHR for the end users by providing needed security and privacy for personal health records. A questionnaire is developed in order to measure the public attitude. Here, we are reporting the development of the questionnaire and its pilot study, along with a review on advantages and limitations of the main mobile PHRs applications in the IOS and Android markets.

An analysis of the maincritical factors that affect the acceptance of technology in hospital management systems Peker, Can; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2010) The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989) in order to contribute the acceptance of Hospital Management Systems in hospitals. The study also aims to extend the TAM by adding external variables. Thereby the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and external TAM factors and how these relationships will affect the behavioral intention to use the technology will be determined. In this study quantitative research me...
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 test for detecting etiologic heterogeneity in epidemiological studies Karagulle, S.; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl (2016-02-17) Current statistical methods for analyzing epidemiological data with disease subtype information allow us to acquire knowledge not only for risk factor-disease subtype association but also, on a more profound account, heterogeneity in these associations by multiple disease characteristics (so-called etiologic heterogeneity of the disease). Current interest, particularly in cancer epidemiology, lies in obtaining a valid p-value for testing the hypothesis whether a particular cancer is etiologically heterogene...
An Investigation on the areas and locations of sunlight patches in patient rooms Tanrıöver, Sezin; Düzgüneş, Arda; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2006) Explored in this study were the patterns of direct sunlight received by differentlyoriented patient rooms in healthcare facilities. Desktop Radiance 1.02® software was used to simulate conditions in a typical double patient room. The area and locations of sunlight patches on room surfaces were considered as analog indicators for the investigation. The setting was defined as Ankara, Turkey. Seven orientations and 3 positions of standard-size window openings were studied in different combinations at solstices...
A Semantic Transformation Methodology for the Secondary Use of Observational Healthcare Data in Postmarketing Safety Studies Pacaci, Anil; Gonul, Suat; Sinaci, A. Anil; Yuksel, Mustafa; Laleci Erturkmen, Gokce B. (Frontiers Media SA, 2018-4-30) Background: Utilization of the available observational healthcare datasets is key to complement and strengthen the postmarketing safety studies. Use of common data models (CDM) is the predominant approach in order to enable large scale systematic analyses on disparate data models and vocabularies. Current CDM transformation practices depend on proprietarily developed Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) procedures, which require knowledge both on the semantics and technical characteristics of the source datasets an...
