Providing signatures on requests for information, which are in essence contracts, is a problem. Signatures must both prove the identity of the participants and provide for non-repudiation of the agreement. Cryptographic digital signatures appear secure and effective, but their use is difficult to implement. Simpler methods are fraught with risks, yet are more easily accomplished. The patient's rights of privacy must be balanced against the need for access by government, physician, or healthcare institutions to confidential information. In general, information holders must put forth reasonable efforts to keep information confidential. The development of acknowledged standards will provide guidance. Multiple laws provide some deterrence and hence some reassurance to healthcare institutions, for example, by criminalizing acts of electronic interception of patient records in transit.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Some believe the expense of secure transfer of medical records by electronic means is a major obstacle; this is false: such transfers are now technologically quite easy.

Its performance is evaluated using both aortic and radial artery pressure signals, and its robustness to variations in design parameters is investigated.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Most previously published dicrotic notch detection algorithms scan the arterial pressure waveform for the characteristic pressure change that is associated with the dicrotic notch. Aortic valves, however, are closed by the backwards motion of aortic blood volume. We developed an algorithm that uses arterial flow to detect the dicrotic notch in arterial pressure waveforms. Arterial flow is calculated from arterial pressure using simulation results with a three-element windkessel model. Aortic valve closure is detected after the systolic upstroke and at the minimum of the first negative dip in the calculated flow signal.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In 7 dogs ejection times were derived from a calculated aortic flow signal and from simultaneously measured aortic flow probe data. A total of 86 beats was analyzed; the difference in ejection times was -0.6 +/- 5.4 ms (means +/- SD). The algorithm was further evaluated using 6 second epochs of radial artery pressure data measured in 50 patients. Model simulations were carried out using both a linear windkessel model and a pressure and age dependent nonlinear windkessel model. Visual inspection by an experienced clinician confirmed that the algorithm correctly identified the dicrotic notch in 98% (49 of 50) of the patients using the linear model, and 96% (48 of 50) of the patients using the nonlinear model. The position of the dicrotic notch appeared to be less sensitive to variations in algorithm's design parameters when a nonlinear windkessel model was used.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The detection of the dicrotic notch in arterial pressure signals is facilitated by first calculating the arterial flow waveform from arterial pressure and a model of arterial afterload. The method is robust and reduces the problem of detecting a dubious point in a decreasing pressure signal to the detection of a well-defined minimum in a derived signal.</p>","PeriodicalId":77199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical monitoring","volume":"13 5","pages":"309-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1023/a:1007414906294","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20271052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A list of the parameters that should be sought for future modeling efforts is provided (Table 3), but this list is by no means exhaustive. As further work is performed in this area, additional independent and essential parameters will be identified (pressure characteristics of valvular anomalies, for example).
