Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023 May 18:302:125-126. doi: 10.3233/SHTI230078.

Abstract

Developing smart clinical decision support systems requires integrating data from several medical departments. This short paper outlines the challenges we faced in cross-departmental data integration for an oncological use case. Most severely, they have led to a significant reduction in case numbers. Only 2,77% of cases meeting the initial inclusion criteria of the use case were present in all accessed data sources.
