A Study of EMR-based Medical Knowledge Network and Its Applications

The electronic medical record (EMR) is the storage of all health care data and medical history of a patient in an electronic format[17]. These data include abundant medical knowledge, such as the current clinical diagnosis, medical history, results of investigations, treatment plans, and so on [12]. This is a novel and rich resource for clinical research [26,44]. As the quantity of EMRs increase rapidly, medical professionals are overwhelmed by this ever-expanding knowledge. Therefore, several effective methods are being developed to assist these professionals [47].
