Improving Healthcare Quality with an LHS.

ABSTRACT

The Learning Health System (LHS) is an important tool to help healthcare professionals solve problems by collecting, analyzing, interpreting and comparing health data, with the objective of helping patients make the best decision based on their own data, given the best evidence available. [1]. We believe partial oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) and related measurements and calculations can also be candidates for predictions and analysis of health conditions. We intend to build a Personal Health Record (PHR) that can exchange data with Electronic Health Records (EHRs) from hospitals, propose enhanced self-care, seek a support network, or look for healthcare assistance, (primary care or emergency service).
