Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Aug 22:316:66-67. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240347.

Abstract

The reuse of real-world symptom monitoring data is essential in improving the quality of hospice care. A framework for achieving this is a Learning Health System, in which the development of a well-defined dataset is essential. This paper discusses the challenges in the design of a comprehensive dataset, focusing on variations in two electronic health record systems and divergent care processes.

Keywords: Hospice Care; Learning Health System; Symptom Management.
