Open healthCare Ontology (OpenCare) is an integrated metadata vocabulary expressed as an ontological data model, to facilitate the effective reasoning of patient-specific electronic health record (EHR) data. The OpenCare model identifies the concepts and semantic types in the EHR data with the aim of enabling the representation of clinical data in a way that is accessible and usable by researchers and healthcare facility users. The development of OpenCare and its components is formalized using the Ontology Web Language (OWL). This framework aims to enhance the accessibility and user-friendliness of EHR clinical data.

"Surgery performs on" refers to a medical procedure that is performed on a patient by a surgeon or surgical team. The surgery may be performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, such as to remove a diseased or damaged organ or tissue, repair a defect or injury, or alleviate symptoms of a medical condition. Surgery can be performed under general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or local anesthesia, depending on the type of procedure and the patient's health status. In some cases, minimally invasive or robotic surgery may be used to reduce the amount of tissue damage and recovery time. Before surgery, the patient is evaluated by the surgeon and anesthesia team to determine their suitability for the procedure and to discuss any potential risks or complications. The patient is also given instructions on how to prepare for the surgery and what to expect during the recovery period. After surgery, the patient is closely monitored for any complications and may be given pain medication and other treatments to aid in the healing process. Physical therapy or rehabilitation may also be necessary to regain strength and function. Sources: American College of Surgeons. (n.d.). What Is Surgery?

There are types of altered breathing patterns that are symptoms of many diseases. There are multiple types of normal and abnormal respiration. They include apnea, eupnea, orthopnea, dyspnea hyperpnea, hyperventilation, hypoventilation, tachypnea, Kussmaul respiration, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, sighing respiration, Biot respiration, apneustic breathing, central neurogenic hyperventilation, and central neurogenic hypoventilation. Each pattern is clinically important and useful in evaluating patients. This activity covers the essential features of abnormal respiration and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients affected by these conditions.

Diagnosis refers to the identification of a medical condition or disease based on an analysis of symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and medical tests. The process of diagnosis allows healthcare providers to determine the underlying cause of a patient's symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Sources: The definition of diagnosis is widely recognized in the medical community and is based on common usage in healthcare settings. Example: When a patient presents with symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, a healthcare provider may perform a physical examination, review the patient's medical history and perform diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or blood tests to identify the cause of the symptoms. Based on the results of the examination and tests, the healthcare provider may diagnose the patient with a heart condition such as angina or a heart attack, and develop an appropriate treatment plan to address the condition.
The representation of a conclusion of a diagnostic process.
Diagnosis
"DiagnosisType" is a term used in the context of electronic health records (EHRs) and refers to the categorization or classification of a patient's medical condition or disease. In EHRMDS, DiagnosisType is further classified into different types of diagnoses, including Provisional, Final, Admission, Interim, Working, and Discharge. Provisional Diagnosis: A provisional diagnosis is a tentative diagnosis that is made based on the available information at the time of examination. This diagnosis is subject to change based on further investigation or the patient's response to treatment. Final Diagnosis: A final diagnosis is made after all diagnostic tests, procedures, and investigations have been completed, and all relevant information has been gathered. This diagnosis is considered definitive and forms the basis for treatment and management of the patient's condition. Admission Diagnosis: An admission diagnosis is the primary diagnosis given to a patient when they are admitted to a hospital or healthcare facility. Interim Diagnosis: An interim diagnosis is a diagnosis made during ongoing treatment and management of a patient's condition. This diagnosis is subject to change based on the patient's response to treatment. Working Diagnosis: A working diagnosis is a preliminary diagnosis that is based on the clinician's initial assessment of the patient's symptoms and medical history. This diagnosis is subject to change based on further investigation or the patient's response to treatment. Discharge Diagnosis: A discharge diagnosis is the diagnosis given to a patient when they are discharged from a healthcare facility. This diagnosis summarizes the patient's condition at the time of discharge and is used for follow-up care and management.

Social history refers to a person's cultural, economic, and environmental circumstances that can influence their health and well-being. It includes information about a person's upbringing, education, occupation, living conditions, and social relationships, as well as their beliefs, values, and cultural practices. Social history is important in healthcare because it can provide insight into a person's risk for certain medical conditions, as well as their ability to access healthcare services and follow treatment plans. For example, a person's social history may reveal that they have limited access to healthy food options or safe living conditions, which can increase their risk for chronic diseases like obesity or asthma. It may also reveal that they face discrimination or other social barriers that can impact their mental health and well-being. In addition, social history can be used to inform healthcare interventions and policies that address the social determinants of health, such as poverty, housing insecurity, and racial and ethnic disparities. This can include efforts to improve access to healthy food options, affordable housing, and quality education, as well as efforts to reduce discrimination and other social barriers to health. It is important for healthcare providers to gather and use social history information in a culturally sensitive and respectful manner, recognizing that social factors can have a profound impact on a person's health and well-being.
