Standardization of Third-party Data in Electronic Health Records

With the increasing use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and medical wearables and self-tracking devices, the volume and variety of health-related data grows exponentially and taking advantage of its potential would provide us with deeper insights and enable better healthcare decisions. 5G and, in the future, 6G will transform current IoMT network and allow for more improvements to QoS and general user experience. However, in order to use the data collected from IoMT in a formal clinical setting, data needs to be standardized, accurate, precise, and free of errors. Data must be stored in such a form that it is compliant with applicable standards and regulations. Standardizing and assuring data quality is especially important for third-party data, such as sensor-collected health data. This paper discusses requirements and potential solutions for using third-party data in EHR system, that today constitutes part of the central health information systems of most European countries.
