Background
key question in healthcare: how can we operationalize the vision of the Learning Healthcare System? Electronic health record data could be a continuous information source for quality assurance and research. Clinical data need to be analyzed to develop evidence and conduct comparative effectiveness research. Clinical data are increasingly stored 1 in electronic dental records (EDR) .
Electronic Dental Record Systems Oral Health and Disease Ontology

Methods
Classify data Query aggregated and classified data develop a pilot process for data extraction from Eaglesoft define a set of research questions focused on restorative dentistry construct the Oral Health and Disease Ontology (OHD) to represent study variables
Triplestore Repository

Import data

Perform Statistical Analyses

map data from a Eaglesoft patient database to the OHD create a knowledge base to represent clinical data using the OHD

Objective
develop a generalizable method for extracting and analyzing research data from EDRs.

Results
4,500 patients data represented 232,270 clinical records extracted 213 new classes created in OHD 1,658 classes reused from other ontologies a set of queries to extract data developed

Conclusion novel application of an ontology-based


approach to extract data from EDRs future research to establish a complete, open and reproducible workflow for data extraction and analysis across EDRs
