eCream - enabling Clinical Research in Emergency and Acute care Medicine through automated data extraction
Hospital emergency departments are usually crowded and frantic. This makes research on quality-of-care in emergency medicine difficult. The large number of patients visiting the emergency room and staff shortages that often afflict these departments make ad hoc data collections unattainable. In this context, the EU-funded eCREAM project will fill the knowledge gap by reviewing and retrieving data from the electronic health records used by emergency departments. Bringing together eight countries (France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland and the UK) and 11 partners, eCREAM will also review and exploit other existing data sources to measure the outcome of the patients. The initiative aims to make data easy to find, interoperable and reusable for clinicians, researchers, policymakers and citizens.
