Description | This project will produce an iso-semantic supplement to the current CIMI Reference model and Detailed Clinical Models. It will be designed specifically to support data analysis, rather than data entry, and will be called Analysis Normal Form (ANF). |

Project Need | Clinicians typically enter clinical information via a manner that we call here the 'clinical input form' (CIF). However, the CIF is not a literal form that clinicians select and enter data in. Rather, it refers to the manner in which information is presented to the clinicians and how they enter the data, such as by constraining the information to allow only certain values to be entered, such as through a drop-down list or radio button, or breaking up large chunks of related information into smaller parts. Ideally, the way the information is presented to clinicians is in a manner that is most familiar and efficient for the clinicians to use. However, what is an efficient way for clinicians to select and enter data may not be the most efficient or reliable way for data analysts to use when they are querying data once it has been normalized and stored in a database, such as for CDS rules or the computation of prevalence statistics. For these purposes, the data is normalized using the analysis normal form (ANF) and stored in a database. Again, the ANF is not necessarily a physical structure, but is how a data analyst might see the data when they are looking at it in a database, and not as clinicians would see it in the user interface (i.e., CIF). |
