Transforming Clinical Information Systems: Empowering Healthcare through Telemedicine, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence Applications

Summary

Objective: In this synopsis, the editors of the Clinical Information Systems (CIS) section of the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics overview recent research and propose a selection of best papers published in 2022 in the CIS field.

Methods: The editors follow a systematic approach to gather relevant articles and select the best papers for the section. This year, they updated the query to incorporate the topic of telemedicine and removed search terms related to geographic information systems. The revised query resulted in a larger number of identified papers, necessitating the appointment of a third section editor to handle the increased workload. The editors narrowed the initial pool of articles to 15 candidate papers through a multi-stage selection process. At least seven independent reviews were collected for each candidate paper, and a selection meeting with the IMIA Yearbook editorial board led to the final selection of the best papers for the CIS section.

Results: The query was carried out in mid-January 2023 and retrieved a deduplicated result set of 5,206 articles from 1,500 journals. This year, 15 papers were nominated as candidates, and four were finally selected as the best papers in the CIS section.

Including telemedicine in the query resulted in a substantial increase in the number of papers found. The analysis highlights the growing convergence between clinical information systems and telemedicine, with mobile health (mHealth) technologies and data science applications gaining prominence. The selected candidate papers emphasize the practical impact of research efforts, focusing on patient-centric outcomes and benefits, including intelligent mobile health monitoring systems and AI-assisted decision-making in healthcare.

Conclusions: Looking ahead, the field of CIS is expected to continue evolving, driven by advances in telemedicine, mHealth technologies, data science, and AI integration, leading to more efficient, patient-oriented, and intelligent healthcare systems and overall improvement of global healthcare outcomes.

1 Introduction

As editors of the Clinical Information Systems (CIS) section, we annually apply a systematic approach to gather articles for the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook of Medical Informatics. Over the past eight years, we have consistently employed a specific query to identify relevant publications in the CIS field, resulting in over 2,400 papers each year. These publications undergo a rigorous selection process to identify the best CIS papers.

During this period, we have observed a notable shift in CIS from primarily focusing on clinical documentation to a greater emphasis on generating patient-focused knowledge and facilitating informed decision-making. CIS have evolved beyond being mere tools or infrastructure for healthcare professionals and hospitals, becoming the foundation for a complex trans-institutional information logistics process. The patient has taken center stage, and patient data is utilized to create value for their benefit. Consequently, research in the CIS domain has increasingly focused on trans-institutional information exchange, data aggregation, and analysis [[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]].

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced scientific research in the CIS field, as evident from its extensive impact [[6]]. However, in the past year, we also observed no notable breakthroughs or innovative changes regarding methodologies, algorithms, tools, or applications for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. This prompted us to question whether our long-standing query had become outdated [[7]].

With the change in our editorial team and the new section editor BP, we took the opportunity to update our query. Recognizing the significance of trans-institutional data exchange and patient-centeredness, we noticed that “telemedicine” was not explicitly included or adequately addressed in our existing systematic query. To rectify this, we conducted a thorough investigation by searching PubMed using the MeSH Major Topic “telemedicine,” resulting in nearly 30,000 publications. These publications were subjected to bibliometric analysis [[8]]. Based on our findings, we decided to include terms related to telemedicine, such as “Telemedicine [MeSH Major Topic]”, “Telemedicine majr/OT”, “Telehealth [OT]” and “Telemonitoring [OT]” in our PubMed query. Conversely, we removed the term complexes surrounding “geographic information systems”, as they were increasingly nonspecific in relation to CIS.

By incorporating these new search terms, we anticipate a significant increase in the number of identified papers, subsequently increasing our workload. To manage this challenge, we have appointed a third section editor (SBN) to ensure efficient handling of the expanded number of papers during the systematic selection process for the best CIS papers.

Each year, the IMIA Yearbook editorial board defines a special topic to highlight current aspects relevant to medical informatics. Each section focuses on these aspects when reviewing the past year's literature. For the 2023 edition, the special topic is “Informatics for One Health”. Consequently, we were eager to assess whether this topic is reflected in the papers found during our selection process.

About the Paper Selection

The process of searching for relevant publications and selecting the best papers in the CIS section follows a well-defined systematic approach. After using the same query for eight years, we decided this year, following an extensive analysis [[8]], to incorporate the topic of telemedicine in our queries and remove search terms related to geographic information systems. In mid-January 2023, we conducted the queries. We retrieved 5,206 unique papers, with 5,020 from PubMed (1,543 from the legacy query and 3,477 from the telemedicine-related search terms) and an additional 186 papers from Web of Science^® (WoS). These articles were published in 1,500 journals, and [Table 1] presents the Top-15-ranked journals with the highest number of resulting articles.

Table 1 Number of retrieved articles for Top-15 ranked journals.

Despite changing the query, we noticed that the relative frequencies of publications from different countries remained similar to previous years. Most of those papers whose publication records included location information came again from the United States (45%, n=2,327). England was again second (26%, n=1,351), followed by Switzerland (6%, n=329), Canada (4%, n=222), Germany (3%, n=179), the Netherlands (3%, n=176), Ireland (2%, n=111) and Australia (2%, n=96).

Following our annual practice, we proceeded to categorize all the papers we found systematically through multiple rounds, resulting in a shortlist of up to 15 potential contributions. External experts and yearbook editors then reviewed these selected papers. Subsequently, the IMIA Yearbook Editorial Board conducted a selection meeting to choose a maximum of four best papers for each section. To comprehensively understand the articles' content in the CIS section, we employed text mining techniques and term combination mapping.

We used RAYYAN[1], an online systematic review tool for the multi-stage selection process of the best papers. The legacy query results from PubMed and WoS (n=1,729) were reviewed independently by two section editors (WHO and BP), and the telemedicine-related search results (n=3,477) were reviewed separately by all three section editors (WHO, BP, SBN).

During the first pass of screening, articles were excluded based on their titles and abstracts. The agreement rate for “exclude” decisions between WHO and BP was 95.5 percent, resulting in 4,970 articles being excluded out of the total 5,206 articles in consideration.

For the telemedicine-related search results, there was a 95.6 percent agreement rate (n=3,324) between BP and SBN regarding article exclusions out of the total of 3,477 articles. Between WHO and SBN, the agreement rate for “exclude” decisions was 96.8 percent, leading to the exclusion of 3,368 articles out of the total of 3,477 telemedicine-related articles.

These agreements reflect the level of consensus among the section editors regarding the exclusion of articles based on title and abstract review. From this first selection pass, 350 papers remained for the next screening rounds, in which consensus was jointly reached to narrow down the selection further. The second selection pass yielded 136 possible candidates which were reduced to 52 in a third and 25 in a fourth pass. For these potential candidates, the full texts were obtained and reviewed.

Finally, we selected 15 candidate papers for the CIS section on mutual consent. Six candidate papers stemmed from the legacy query and nine were among the telemedicine-related articles. Each candidate paper underwent a rigorous review process, with at least seven independent reviews collected for each paper.

The selection meeting took place on May 5, 2023, in Bordeaux, France, and was conducted in a hybrid format, allowing both online participation and in-person attendance. The meeting involved the IMIA Yearbook editorial board, which decided on the final selection of papers. After careful deliberation and discussion during the meeting, four papers were ultimately chosen as the best papers for the CIS section. Content summaries of these four best CIS papers can be found in the appendix of this synopsis.

2 Findings and Trends: Clinical Information Systems Research 2022

During the selection process, the increase in the number of publications in the CIS field, particularly with the inclusion of telemedicine, posed a challenge in keeping track of the content of all the relevant literature. To cope with this abundance of publications, we employed additional methods such as text mining and bibliometric network visualization for several years in our section [[9], [10]]. These techniques allow for the efficient extraction of relevant information from a large corpus of articles and help us obtain a quick understanding of the content of the articles, enable meaningful comparisons between them, and provide us with a visual representation of the relationships between publications and their content. The visualizations also assist in identifying clusters of terms and emerging trends within the field.

2.1 Overview of the Content of All Found CIS Papers

First, we extracted the authors' keywords (n=38,184) from all articles and presented their frequency in a tag cloud (cf. [Figure 1]). We found 5,393 different keywords, of which 3,200 were only used once and 728 were used twice. As in the previous years, the most frequent keyword was “Humans” (n=3,914). This year “Telemedicine” was the second most frequent keyword (n=2,209), followed by “Pandemics” (n=1,030), COVID-19 (n=705), “Female” (n=683), “Child” (n=571) and COVID-19/epidemiology (n=546). “Electronic Health Records” is ranked 8^th (n=546) versus 2^nd last year.

Fig. 1 Tag cloud illustrating the frequency authors' keywords (top 250 keywords out of n=38,184 are shown) within the 5,206 papers from the CIS query result set. Font size corresponds to frequency (the most frequent keyword was “humans” n=3,914).

In contrast to the keyword tag cloud, a bibliometric network can reveal more details on more items and interrelationships between the publications. We used VOSviewer [[9]] to create a clustered co-occurrence map of the keywords depicted in [Figure 2].

Fig. 2 Clustered co-occurrence map of the Top-690 keywords (keywords with the greatest total link strength n=690 of 5,393 distinct keywords) from the 5,206 papers in the 2023 CIS query result set. Only keywords that we found in at least six different papers were included in the analysis. Node size corresponds to the frequency of the keywords (“humans” n=3,914). Edges indicate co-occurrence (only the top 1,000 of 22,262 edges are shown). The distance of nodes corresponds to the link strength between the keywords. Colors represent the six different clusters. The network was created with VOSviewer [[9]].

Cluster 1 (in red) indicates the clinical perspective. Both in application and in research. The most common keywords in this cluster include “electronic health records”, “technology”, “hospitals”, “(health) communication”, “medical records”, or “information systems”. Terms such as “machine learning” or “artificial intelligence” suggest current research activities in this area. Cluster 2 (in green) contains as most frequent keywords terms like “humans”, “telemedicine”, “pandemics”, “covid-19”, “covid-19/epidemiology”, “telemedicine/methods”, “sars-cov-2”, “cross-sectional studies”, “delivery of health care”, “referral and consultation”, “patient satisfaction”, or “primary health care”. The most common keywords in cluster 3 (in blue) are “mobile applications”, “quality of life”, “pilot projects”, “feasibility studies”, “randomized controlled trials as topic”, “telerehabilitation”, “chronic disease”, “exercise”, and “treatment outcome”. Cluster 4 (in yellow) contains general contextual factors of the studies with keywords such as “female”, “adult”, “male”, “aged”, “retrospective studies”, “middle aged”, or “adolescent”. More specific context factors of the studies can be found in cluster 5 (in pink) with keywords such as “point-of-care systems”, “prospective studies”, “reproducibility of results”, “emergency service”, “hospital”, “only child”, “emergencies”, “infant”, “infant”, “newborn”, “child”, “preschool”, and “point-of-care testing”. Finally, the keywords in cluster 6 (in turquoise) reflect specific application perspectives in the country with the most frequent publications, the USA. The most frequent terms in this cluster are: “united states”, “medicare”, “prescriptions”, “pharmacists”, “analgesics”, “opioid/therapeutic use”, “drug prescriptions”, “practice patterns”, “physicians'”, “opioid”, “prescription drug monitoring programs”, “electronic prescribing”, “opioid-related disorders/drug therapy”, “medicaid”, “buprenorphine/therapeutic use”, and “nonprescription drugs”.

To ensure consistency with previous years' investigations, a parallel analysis was conducted using the terms extracted from all publications' titles and abstracts. The resulting co-occurrence map of the top-690 terms is visualized in [Figure 3].

Fig. 3 Clustered co-occurrence map of the Top-690 terms (top 60 percent of the most relevant terms: n=690 of 95,937) from the titles and abstracts of the 5,206 papers in the 2023 CIS query result set. Only terms that we found in at least 25 different papers were included in the analysis. Node size corresponds to the frequency of the terms (binary count, once per paper, “covid”: n=1,627). Edges indicate co-occurrence (only the top 1,000 of 131,853 edges are shown). The distance of nodes corresponds to the association strength of the terms within the texts. Colors represent the four different clusters. The network was created with VOSviewer [[9]].

Compared to the analysis of the keywords, a different picture emerges here. The cluster analysis of titles and summaries resulted in four distinct, similarly large clusters. Cluster 1 (in red) is heavily populated with terms related to the COVID pandemic. But also, terms from the field of telemedicine, its application, and research are strongly represented. For example: “video”, “appointment”, “encounter”, “patient satisfaction”, “telehealth service”, “telephone”, “telemedicine visit”, “telehealth visit”, “telemedicine use”, “teleconsultation”, “care delivery”, “phone”, “telemedicine service”, “telehealth use”, “healthcare delivery”, “video visit”, “virtual visit”, “virtual care”, “video consultation”, or “patient portal”. Cluster 2 (in green) and cluster 3 (in blue) again contain various contextual factors, objectives, and methodological aspects of the studies. The remaining cluster 4 (in yellow) also includes such terms. Here, however, we also find numerous terms that can be attributed to the outcomes of the studies.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be profoundly felt in the field. Modifying the query with an increased emphasis on telemedicine has notably influenced the results. Nevertheless, the trends and research focus observed in recent years are still evident in the generated maps. The selection process for the best papers has yielded a substantial number of captivating and high-quality contributions. In the following sections, we will briefly introduce the candidates and highlight the best CIS papers chosen for recognition.

2.2 Insights into the Candidate Papers and Best Papers

Secondary use of clinical data is still an essential and prominent research field within CIS. Although the term “data science” is not yet often explicitly mentioned in the keywords or the titles or abstracts of the found CIS publications, we found many examples and inspiring, promising data science applications. One of them is one of the best papers, a contribution by Guardiolle et al. [[11]], which is about linking biomedical data warehouse records with the national mortality database in France using a large-scale matching algorithm. The algorithm was found to be reliable for both sensitivity and specificity evaluation, and it was able to link a large number of records with a high degree of accuracy. The paper also discusses the potential benefits of linking these two data sources for medical research and public health decision-making.

Another contribution from the field of data science, specifically about using machine learning and natural language processing techniques to analyze electronic health record (EHR) data is the best paper by Zou et al. [[12]] who use an end-to-end knowledge-graph-informed topic model. They discuss the challenges of extracting clinical knowledge from EHR data and propose a new method called the Graph ATtention-Embedded Topic Model (GAT-ETM) to address these challenges. The paper also compares GAT-ETM to other methods in terms of topic quality, drug imputation, and disease diagnosis prediction, and explores how GAT-ETM can be used to discover interpretable and accurate patient representations for patient stratification and drug recommendations.

Information exchange between different stakeholders or institutions has become a core CIS topic in recent years. In the past years, we always had papers from the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) context in our selection. This year, a contribution by Bialke et al. [[13]] on the topic of standardized exchange of informed consent in an extensive network of university medicine made it into the best paper selection. The authors discuss the use of FHIR in facilitating the exchange of informed consent and provide insights into the potential implications of using FHIR for informed consent in the field of university medicine. Another interesting contribution to the FHIR context comes from Ayan Chatterjee et al. [[14]]. The paper is about achieving semantic and structural interoperability in personal health data through the use of HL7 FHIR with SNOMED-CT. It presents a proof-of-concept study that explores innovative solutions to the problem of heterogeneity in digital health information systems. The study focuses on designing and implementing a structurally and logically compatible tethered personal health record (PHR) that allows bidirectional communication with an electronic health record (EHR).

For a successful, seamless exchange of information, not only technical aspects are relevant. The publication by Pylypchuk et al. [[15]] provides valuable insights into the significance of EHR developers in facilitating hospital patient sharing, which involves the seamless transfer of patients between different healthcare facilities.

In another candidate paper worth reading, Kryszyn et al. [[16]] explore the question of how the performance of an openEHR-based hospital information system can be compared with a proprietary system. They evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of using the openEHR standard and suggest that the benefits of using openEHR may outweigh the found performance issues, especially for more complex hospital information systems.

Based on our observations, there is a growing convergence between clinical information systems and telemedicine. This overlap is leading to not only the exchange of data between different healthcare facilities but also the development of increasingly beneficial applications that leverage this data for the well-being of patients. Particularly, the term “mHealth,” which refers to mobile health technologies, is gaining prominence within this context. As a subset of eHealth, mHealth focuses on utilizing mobile technologies to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Integrating mHealth solutions with CIS and telemedicine is driving innovations and advancements in patient-centric healthcare. In their candidate paper, Alenoghena et al. [[17]] provide a comprehensive review of trends and advancements in three aspects of an eHealth system and service delivery: contemporary architectures for eHealth designs, mHealth technologies, and security concerns. It is recommended to all who want to refresh their knowledge in these areas since reading this article.

Also an interesting read is the candidate paper by Li and You [[18]] who propose an intelligent mobile health monitoring system and establish a corresponding health network to track and process patients' physical activity and other health-related factors in real-time. The authors state that this system can help patients monitor their personal health in real time and can help healthcare providers identify potential health issues early on and intervene before they become more serious. This can lead to improved patient outcomes and better overall health management.

The focus on patient-centric outcomes is crucial in driving meaningful advancements in healthcare informatics. To emphasize the practical impact of research efforts, the selection process included concrete examples of applications that directly benefit patients. A truly impressive example of this is the fourth paper in the best papers roundup. Poelzl et al. [[19]] demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of a multidimensional post-discharge disease management program for heart failure patients in clinical practice. The study evaluated the benefits of a telemedical monitoring system incorporated into a comprehensive network of heart failure nurses, resident physicians, and referral centers. The study found that the multidimensional post-discharge disease management program was feasible and effective in clinical practice, resulting in a significant reduction in the primary endpoint of death from any cause and readmission for acute heart failure at six months, as well as improvements in patient empowerment.

Graetz et al. [[20]] could demonstrate that video telehealth improves access to healthcare for people with diabetes by offering them a new, convenient way to access healthcare without arranging transportation or taking time off work. Video visit access was associated with a statistically significant reduction in HbA1c levels among people with diabetes. This is particularly important for people with chronic conditions, who require ongoing monitoring and adjustment by patients and their clinicians. Video telehealth gives people real-time access to clinicians, which can help them manage their condition more effectively. Moreover, this approach contributes to reducing a patient's environmental impact by reducing the need for travel. Consequently, this article is relevant to the Special Topic “One Health” as it highlights the potential benefits of telehealth in improving patient outcomes and reducing environmental impacts, as shown in [[21]]. In addition to reducing the time and travel burden associated with participation, remote technology, and decentralization tools can also help increase patient enrollment in cancer clinical trials as suggested by the findings of Adams et al. [[22]].

Also for hospitals, it may be beneficial to have telehealth services. According to the candidate paper of Zhao et al. [[23]], hospitals with one or two telehealth services were found to have higher total performance scores compared to hospitals with no telehealth services. However, the study did not specify which specific telehealth services were associated with improved hospital performance.

In any case, the future will bring more mHealth applications, and it will be important to prepare both patients and hospital operators as well as possible. In their article, Hamberger et al. [[24]] explore central questions here, like What are some specific challenges that mHealth apps can help address in the healthcare system? How can patient-centered approaches be implemented through mHealth apps? What are some potential benefits and drawbacks of integrating mHealth apps into the healthcare system?

In our opinion, artificial intelligence (AI) can play a significant role in the context of mHealth apps and the healthcare system. AI can assist in decision-making, data analysis, and personalized treatment plans. However, the integration of AI into digital healthcare solutions also poses ethical challenges, such as transparency, accountability, and bias, such as biased data sources, which are often based primarily on male subjects and usually do not include minorities, possibly limiting the validity of the data and derived results. However, before we drift too deeply into such a discussion – there will be enough to discuss in detail in the coming years – let's take a look at the last two candidate papers. They exemplify what is already possible with artificial intelligence now. First, an interesting contribution by Humayun et al. [[25]] about an agent-based medical health monitoring system. Such a system is a group of intelligent agents that gather patient data, reason together, and propose actions to patients and medical professionals in a mobile context. The proposed system combines data mining techniques with a wireless medical sensor module to gather real-time sensory data from the patient's body and historical data obtained in the past. The system then categorizes the data into normal and emergency categories and declares an emergency by comparing the previously described data groups. Of course, there are numerous challenges here. If you are interested in this, you should read the paper. And last but not least, we have a paper from Hah and Goldin [[26]] in our selection. It is on AI-assisted decision-making in healthcare. In this article, the authors explore how clinicians currently use multimedia patient information (MPI) provided by AI algorithms and identify areas where AI can support clinicians in diagnostic decision-making.

This year's survey article of the CIS Section fits in perfectly with this. Farah Magrabi, David Lyell, and Enrico Coiera from the Centre for Health Informatics, Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, Sydney, present a very interesting overview of automation in contemporary clinical information systems [[27]]. Their survey explores the use of AI technologies in healthcare settings, including their clinical application areas, level of system autonomy, and reported effects on user experience, decision-making, care delivery, and outcomes. We would like to warmly recommend it to our readers, as we do every year at the end of our review of the results and trends of the Clinical Information Systems Section.

3 Conclusions and Outlook

The inclusion of telemedicine as a search term in our query turned out to be positive. Of course, this led to a substantial increase in the number of papers found. But we could compensate for that by adding a third section editor. On the other hand, we also found a large number of very substantial papers, which was also reflected in our selection. Nine of the 15 candidate papers came from this new query part.

The analysis highlights the growing convergence between clinical information systems and telemedicine, with mHealth technologies gaining prominence as a subset of eHealth. Data science applications, particularly in the secondary use of clinical data, are increasingly making a mark in CIS research. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare informatics, mainly through mHealth apps, shows promising potential for decision-making, data analysis, and personalized treatment plans.

The selected candidate papers underscore the practical impact of research efforts, focusing on patient-centric outcomes and benefits. They cover a range of topics, from intelligent mobile health monitoring systems to AI-assisted decision-making in healthcare, all contributing to the improvement of patient care and outcomes.

As we move forward, it is evident that the field of CIS will continue to evolve, driven by advances in telemedicine, mHealth technologies, data science applications, and the integration of AI. This ongoing convergence between various disciplines will pave the way for transformative innovations in patient-centric healthcare. It will be crucial to address ethical challenges surrounding AI, ensure transparency, accountability, and eliminate biases to harness its full potential in improving healthcare delivery.

We think that the ongoing efforts in CIS research will undoubtedly lead to the development of more efficient, patient-oriented, and intelligent healthcare systems, contributing to the overall improvement of global healthcare outcomes. The next few years will show whether we are correct in this assumption.
