INTEGRATED, RELIABLE AND CLOUD-BASED PERSONAL HEALTH RECORD: A SCOPING REVIEWhiij
Personal Health Records (PHR) emerge as an alternative to integrate patient’s health information to give a
global view of patients' status. However, integration is not a trivial feature when dealing with a variety
electronic health systems from healthcare centers. Access to PHR sensitive information must comply with
privacy policies defined by the patient. Architecture PHR design should be in accordance to these, and take
advantage of nowadays technology. Cloud computing is a current technology that provides scalability,
ubiquity, and elasticity features. This paper presents a scoping review related to PHR systems that achieve
three characteristics: integrated, reliable and cloud-based. We found 101 articles that addressed
thosecharacteristics. We identified four main research topics: proposal/developed systems, PHR
recommendations for development, system integration and standards, and security and privacy. Integration
is tackled with HL7 CDA standard. Information reliability
ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (EMR) SYSTEMS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED INCREASINGLY WORLDWIDE. SAUDI
ARABIA IS ONE OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES THAT COMMENCED IMPLEMENTING SUCH SYSTEMS IN 1988. WHILST
EMR UPTAKE HAS BEEN LOW IN SAUDI ARABIA UNTIL NOW, A NUMBER OF HOSPITALS HAVE IMPLEMENTED EMR
SYSTEMS SUCCESSFULLY. THIS PAPER ANALYSES AVAILABLE STUDIES (N=28) IN THE LITERATURE REGARDING EMR
IMPLEMENTATION IN SAUDI ARABIA TO IDENTIFY THE PROGRESS OF EMR IMPLEMENTATION TO DATE AND TO
IDENTIFY THE FACILITATORS AND BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTATION.
A look at the five years since the start of www.publiclibrariesnews.com, including lessons learnt in producing and informative website and in dealing with the media.

Overview of critical factors affecting medical user interfaces in intensive c...hiij
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of cri
tical factors, which affect on-screen user interfac
es of
medical devices in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A lit
erature survey with relevant research publications
has
led to selection of thirty eight critical factors i
n ICU. The critical factors identified are categori
zed into
various groups based on three major aspects – syste
m evaluation parameters, constituents of patient
management and user interface design. Physicians’ s
urvey, in which five physicians are involved, is us
ed to
categorize the identified critical factors into rel
ated groups. In the process, fourteen critical fact
ors are
mainly selected, which affect on-screen user interf
ace design of medical devices. The applicability of
such
factors is demonstrated with the help of a case stu
dy of head-injury patient admitted in ICU. The crit
ical
factors identified are definitely useful to device
manufacturers, user interface designers, ICU
administrators and physicians for improved device d
esign, ICU resource management and patient care.
