Six Systems

One Patient, Six Systems

This page follows synthetic patients through a hospital, a neighbouring hospital and two laboratories. Every file opens in the archive, so each case looks complete. Only % of the facts in those files are usable as data on arrival.

All patients, values and organisations are synthetic. The percentages show the mechanism, not a measured rate at any hospital.

Every true fact about every patient

The sources and what they deliver

Each tile is one source: a department or an outside organisation that sends results. The bar shows how its facts arrived.

Open a patient

This shows one patient in two ways: the files in the archive, and the facts you can use as data. Select a file or a fact to see its source.

Which facts arrive as data, per patient

Exchange between organisations and research export

The gap causes two different problems. One is in care between organisations. The other is in the supply of data for research.

One-click research export

A research export gives a study the data without the identity of the patients. Here it runs in your browser: it replaces each BSN, shifts the dates and checks the output for identifiers.

Files that could not be linked to a patient

These files arrived at the hospital. No patient record matched them, so their results are in no patient record.
