Research of information presentation for electronic medical record based on ontology.

To meet the demand of the digital representation for relative information of the electronic medical records, this paper presents a method to converse the existing data and establish electronic medical record repository based on ontology. Furthermore, the electronic medical record storage structure is discussed. The ontology frame is introduced in detail. In order to provide the intelligent reasoning capability, variable rough set theory is applied in the experiment, the reliable EMR samples and reducing decision table are essential for the reasoning result. Finally, the paper tries to research the patients' semantic information and their relations, discover the potential valuable knowledge, assist the doctors carry on effectively early treatment. The experiment result showed that the ontology based description for EMR is efficient for presenting the hospital knowledge structure, available to afford useful sources of information for physician.
