Abstract Implementing electronic health services with a patient-centric focus while adapting to the know-how of local contexts is challenge. This paper addresses this challenge by establishing template modular requirements for designing viable Electronic Health Record (EHR) system that enables transmission and sharing patient data across primary, secondary, specialized care, ensuring versatility in diverse healthcare environments varying socio-economic landscapes. The research anchored...

Graph propositionalization methods can be used to transform structured and relational data into fixed-length feature vectors, enabling standard machine learning algorithms for generating predictive models. It is however not clear how well different work in conjunction with algorithms. Three graph are investigated three algorithms: random forests, support vector machines nearest neighbor classifiers. An experiment on 21 datasets from the domain of medicinal chemistry shows that choice method...
