Abstract

We integrate literature- and data-driven task analysis methods to derive an initial task taxonomy for electronic health record (EHR) and electronic medical record (EMR) data analysis. An EHR (EMR) is a digital and longitudinal version of a patients health(medical) information and may include all key clinical events relevant to that persons health (medical) history, such as provider, demographics, progress notes, medicine, diagnosis, etc. Our goal is to arrive a task taxonomy for analyzing EHR (EMR) datasets because tasks play an important role in the design and evaluation of visualization techniques. Our method has three stages: data collection, task modelling, and task taxonomy summary. In data collection, we first survey related literature from the past two decades and extract typical tasks and corresponding data by extracting goals and scenarios of the particular work. We introduce multiple continuous relations to describe specific binary or multiple continuous relation-seeking tasks. Finally, we arrive an initial set of task types for EHR/EMR analysis that guide the design and evaluation of visualization techniques.
