  1. What Do We Know About the Drivers of Health and Equity? A Narrative

    Introduction. In the early 1990s, two broad conceptual frameworks for considering the factors that influence health were published. 1,2 These two examples of frameworks continue to guide the work of population health researchers and practitioners. Graphic representations, such as conceptual frameworks, are often used to help clarify and distill a set of concepts that are fundamental and their ...

  2. Graph-Representation of Patient Data: a Systematic Literature Review

    Abstract. Graph theory is a well-established theory with many methods used in mathematics to study graph structures. In the field of medicine, electronic health records (EHR) are commonly used to store and analyze patient data. Consequently, it seems straight-forward to perform research on modeling EHR data as graphs.

  9. Graphical Representation

    An appropriate graphical representation of category frequencies is a pie chart, where each slice represent a different category and slice angles are proportional to the frequencies of the categories. Another graphical method used for category frequencies is a bar chart, where each bar represents a different category and the heights of the bars ...

  10. Web-Based Graphic Representation of the Life Course of Mental Health

    Background: Although patient history is essential for informing mental health assessment, diagnosis, and prognosis, there is a dearth of standardized instruments measuring time-dependent factors relevant to psychiatric disorders. Previous research has demonstrated the potential utility of graphical representations, termed life charts, for depicting the complexity of the course of mental illness.

    This free downloadable book is considered a classic text in health literacy. Chapter 7, Visuals and How to Use Them, identifies the special needs of poor readers and provides guidance to make visuals responsive to those needs. Visuals, such as pictures, drawings, charts, graphs and diagrams, can be effective tools for communicating health ...

  12. Medical Data Visualization: Examples, Implementation

    💬 Medical data visualization is still a bit underrated in terms of health data analytics and representation. However, this superior method has gradually become a mega-trend and game-changer in the industry. For many years, data visualization in healthcare has not been widely adopted and has remained massively underused by the majority of medical professionals…

    Displaying the Data in a Health Care Quality Report. Graphs and tables remain the most efficient and practical way to convey a large amount of information, especially comparative information and numbers. Visual presentations are powerful tools for concisely making points that are hard to put into words. However, while some consumers prefer a ...

  14. Application of a Graphical Depiction of Longitudinal Study Designs to

    Graphical representations of study designs can improve the reporting and design of research conducted in health care databases, specifically by enhancing the transparency and clarity of often complex studies. As such, Schneeweiss et al. (2019) proposed a graphical framework for longitudinal study designs in health care databases.

  15. Graphical representation of the comprehensive patient flow through the

    Discussion. It is necessary to create new graphical representations to synthetically represent the patient flow through the hospital and transfers between medical departments. It could improve the way patients are taken care of, shorten the patients stays, and contain the costs.

  16. Predictive Modeling with Temporal Graphical Representation on

    Deep learning-based predictive models, leveraging Electronic Health Records (EHR), are receiving increasing attention in healthcare. An effective representation of a patient's EHR should hierarchically encompass both the temporal relationships between historical visits and medical events, and the inherent structural information within these elements. Existing patient representation methods can ...

  17. How to Visualize Healthcare Data with Infographics

  18. Visual Display

    Often, graphical representations provide a means of communicating key features of the data, and can enhance summary presentations of data in tabular form. For example, as part of our project, we produced a series of booklets - one for each health outcome, at each level of geography.

  19. Graphical Representation of Data

    Examples on Graphical Representation of Data. Example 1: A pie chart is divided into 3 parts with the angles measuring as 2x, 8x, and 10x respectively. Find the value of x in degrees. Solution: We know, the sum of all angles in a pie chart would give 360º as result. ⇒ 2x + 8x + 10x = 360º. ⇒ 20 x = 360º.
