ABSTRACT ObjectivesThe International Methodology Consortium for Coded Health Information (IMECCHI), an international collaboration of health services researchers, launched the IMECCHI-DATANETWORK initiative in October 2015. Its main objective is to enable replication of observational studies across countries through a distributed data infrastructure. ApproachIn a distributed data infrastructure, individual raw data are not shared. Instead, data are converted locally using a common data model (CDM) and loaded into a common software for data processing and analysis. Whenever a study protocol is agreed upon and ethically approved, an ad hoc procedure is programmed - using that software - including the data processing steps needed to create the analytical dataset from the CDM: record linkage, case selection, sampling, matching, etc. The procedure is then shared and locally run by each partner to generate an analytical dataset of integrated data. Analytical datasets may then be shared and pooled for statistical analyses. ResultsSix partners of the IMECCHI collaboration, located in countries across 4 continents (Canada, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand, South Korea, and Switzerland), currently participate in the initiative. They first conducted a survey to describe the origin, content, completeness and main attributes of each table in their original databases. Based on the results of the survey, a CDM was created, encompassing 4 tables of coded or structured data to be linked at the individual level using a common personal identifier: (1) characteristics of the subjects with dates of birth and death; (2) hospital discharge summaries with diagnosis and procedure codes, and admission, discharge and procedure dates; (3) drug dispensing information with date of dispensing, drug name, duration of the amount of active principle according to the Defined Daily Dose of the World Health Organization; (4) causes of death. In each table, additional attributes describe the coding systems in which the other attributes are coded. Using such specific attributes facilitates interoperability across multiple coding systems. The open source Java-based software, TheMatrix, which operates on flat csv files using a domain-specific programming language, was chosen to embed the ad hoc procedure. ConclusionWithin the IMECCHI-DATANETWORK initiative, databases from various countries will be locally converted in a CDM which will facilitate study replication in a distributed fashion while granting interoperability across coding systems. Through such international data networks, data are empowered for creating results which are generalizable to multiple countries. Cross-border data sharing and international comparisons are also facilitated.

Abstract Administrators and supervisors face daily challenges over issues such as program funding, service fees, correct coding procedures, and the ever-changing healthcare regulations. Receiving equitable reimbursement for speech-language pathology and audiology services necessitates an understanding of federal coding and reimbursement systems. This tutorial provides information pertaining to two major healthcare coding systems and explains the relationship of these systems to clinical documentation, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and equitable reimbursement. An explanation of coding edits and coding modifiers is provided for use in those occasional atypical situations when the standard use of procedural coding may not be appropriate. Also included in this tutorial is a brief discussion of the impact that the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (HR 6331 Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act [MIPPA], 2008) has had on the valuation of speech-language pathology procedure codes.

The paper gives a report on the Karolinska Hospital Information System in three parts.In part I, the information problems in health care delivery are discussed and the approach to systems design at the Karolinska Hospital is reported, contrasted, with the traditional approach.In part II, the data base and the data processing system, named T1—J 5, are described.In part III, the applications of the data base and the data processing system are illustrated by a broad description of the contents and rise of the patient data base at the Karolinska Hospital.

The practice of systematic examinations in hospitals and the increasing development of automatic data processing permits the storing of a great deal of information about a large number of patients belonging to different diagnosis groups.To predict or to characterize these diagnosis groups some descriptors are particularly useful, others carry no information. Data screening based on the properties of mutual information and on the log cross products ratios in contingency tables is developed. The most useful descriptors are selected. For each one the characterized groups are specified.This approach has been performed on a set of binary (presence—absence) radiological variables. Four diagnoses groups are concerned: cancer of pancreas, chronic calcifying pancreatitis, non-calcifying pancreatitis and probable pancreatitis. Only twenty of the three hundred and forty initial radiological variables are selected. The presence of each corresponding sign is associated with one or more diagnosis groups.

A single program has been developed to ensure that the final result of the data processing of the measurement calibration protocol is obtained under normal conditions. The calibration result contains a calibration function or a correction function in the form of a continuous sedate series and a calibration chart based on typical additive error probabilities. Solved the problem of the statistical treatment of the calibration protocol measuring in normal conditions within a single program “MMI–calibration 3.0” that includes identification of the calibration function in a continuous power series of indications of a measuring instrument and chart calibration. An example of solving the problem of calibration of the thermometer by the working standard of the 3rd grade with the help of the “MMI-calibration 3.0” program.

The article describes the training methods in the course “Information Technologies” for the future bachelors of the directions “Economics”, “Management”, “Finance”, “Business Informatics”, the development of metasubject competencies of the student while his use of tools for data processing by means of the language R. The metasubject essence of the work is to update traditional economic knowledge and skills through various presentation forms of the same data sets. As part of the laboratory work described in the article, future bachelors learn to use the basic tools of the R language and acquire specific skills and abilities in R-Studio using the example of processing currency exchange data. The description of the methods is presented in the form of the traditional Key-by-Key technology, which is widely used in teaching information technologies.

Monitoring of warehouse inventory data processing is an important thing for companies. PT Talaga mulya indah is still manual using paper media, causing problems that have an effect on existing information, namely: problems with data processing of incoming and outgoing goods. And the difference between data on the amount of stock of goods available with physical data, often occurs inputting data more than once for the same item, searching for available data, and making reports so that it impedes companies in monitoring inventory of existing stock of goods. Which aims to create a system that can provide updated information to facilitate the warehouse admin in making inventory reports, and reduce errors in input by means of integrated control. In this study, the authors used the data collection method used in this analysis using the method of observation, interviews, and literature review (literature study). For analysis using the PIECES analysis method. Furthermore, the system design used is UML (Unified Modeling Language). The results of this study are expected to produce the right data in the process of monitoring inventory data processing, also can provide the right information and make it easier to control the overall availability of goods.
