Computer-based support groups. Nursing in cyberspace.

Abstract

The focus of this article is on the nurse monitor role in a project whose overall goal is to use telecommunication technology to provide information and support to middle-aged rural women living with chronic illness. The impact of participation in these support groups on the women's psychosocial health is also discussed. The purpose of the project, the underlying conceptual framework of social support, a project overview, project philosophy and protocols, and the role of the Nurse Monitor are described.

QIS: A framework for biomedical database federation.

Query Integrator System (QIS) is a database mediator framework intended to address robust data integration from continuously changing heterogeneous data sources in the biosciences. Currently in the advanced prototype stage, it is being used on a production basis to integrate data from neuroscience databases developed for the SenseLab project at Yale University with external neuroscience and genomics databases. The QIS framework uses standard technologies and is intended to be deployable by administrators with a moderate level of technological expertise: It comes with various tools, such as interfaces for the design of distributed queries. The QIS architecture is based on a set of distributed network-based servers, data source servers, integration servers, and ontology servers, that exchange metadata as well as mappings of both metadata and data elements to elements in an ontology. Metadata version difference determination coupled with decomposition of stored queries is used as the basis for partial query recovery when the schema of data sources alters.

[Relevance of research networks in internal medicine].

Coming from a short international review reasons for networking of scientific research in Germany are given. Success and challenges of medical competence networks are listed, and it is argued how important it is to bridge networks in health care and medical research networks. Some examples from internal medicine are given. The prominent central role of patients is emphasized. Finally it is stated that Germany so far has not established the prerequisites to implement sustainable collaborative infrastructures. Specifically financial, legal, and political support is missing. In addition, it becomes clear that -- in contrast to the USA -- Germany lacks sufficient medical informatics specialists as well as health managers trained to manage IT or networked research. The planned introduction of a telematics infrastructure for health in Germany is perceived as a big chance for improvement.

Some methods for blindfolded record linkage.

BACKGROUND: The linkage of records which refer to the same entity in separate data collections is a common requirement in public health and biomedical research. Traditionally, record linkage techniques have required that all the identifying data in which links are sought be revealed to at least one party, often a third party. This necessarily invades personal privacy and requires complete trust in the intentions of that party and their ability to maintain security and confidentiality. Dusserre, Quantin, Bouzelat and colleagues have demonstrated that it is possible to use secure one-way hash transformations to carry out follow-up epidemiological studies without any party having to reveal identifying information about any of the subjects - a technique which we refer to as "blindfolded record linkage". A limitation of their method is that only exact comparisons of values are possible, although phonetic encoding of names and other strings can be used to allow for some types of typographical variation and data errors. METHODS: A method is described which permits the calculation of a general similarity measure, the n-gram score, without having to reveal the data being compared, albeit at some cost in computation and data communication. This method can be combined with public key cryptography and automatic estimation of linkage model parameters to create an overall system for blindfolded record linkage. RESULTS: The system described offers good protection against misdeeds or security failures by any one party, but remains vulnerable to collusion between or simultaneous compromise of two or more parties involved in the linkage operation. In order to reduce the likelihood of this, the use of last-minute allocation of tasks to substitutable servers is proposed. Proof-of-concept computer programmes written in the Python programming language are provided to illustrate the similarity comparison protocol. CONCLUSION: Although the protocols described in this paper are not unconditionally secure, they do suggest the feasibility, with the aid of modern cryptographic techniques and high speed communication networks, of a general purpose probabilistic record linkage system which permits record linkage studies to be carried out with negligible risk of invasion of personal privacy.
