The Clinical Quality Language (CQL) is a useful tool for defining search requests for data stores containing FHIR data. Unfortunately, there are only few execution engines that are able to evaluate CQL queries. As FHIR data represents a graph structure, the authors pursue the approach of storing all data contained in a FHIR server in the graph data...

Excessive numbers of clinical alarms reduce the awareness of caregivers. Frequent alarms, many of which are non-actionable, can lead to cognitive overload, stress, and desensitization to alarms, called "Alarm Fatigue", which can severely impact patient safety. Due to the multifactorial nature of excessive alarming quantitative data about many facet...

In medical informatics, such a unified view enables retrospective analyses based on more facts and prospective recruitment of more patients than any single data collection by itself. The technical part of data in...
