Abstract

We propose a new intelligent order history viewer applied to consolidating and visualizing data. SAKURA-viewer is a highly effective tool, as: 1) it visualizes both the semantic viewpoint and the temporal viewpoint of patient records simultaneously; 2) it promotes awareness of contextual information among the daily data; and 3) it implements patient-centric data entry methods. This viewer contributes to decrease the user´s workload in an order entry system. This viewer is now incorporated into an order entry system being run on an experimental basis. We describe the evaluation of this system using results of a user satisfaction survey, analysis of information consolidation within the database, and analysis of the frequency of use of data entry methods
