A detailed study on temporal data visualization techniques in electronic health records

Abstract

This detailed study is conducted to examine different temporal data Information Visualization (IV) techniques in Electronic Health Records (EHR). A number of visualization techniques have been developed and proposed for temporal data and events in medical domain. The main objective behind this study is to facilitate stakeholders from different backgrounds that involved in different phases from designing process to evaluation regarding How these techniques helped in handling, exploring and analyzing patients records either from single EHR or multiple EHR. This study followed a systematic literature review methodology. Multiple EHR visualization techniques were evaluated on the basis of different Usability matrices as learnability, easy to use, simplicity and complexity. This study concluded that more the system is easy to use and simple, it will enhance exploring and analysis capabilities of stakeholders that can take more precise decisions on patient's data.
