Structured distributing and collecting devices are the natural interest of information science. Unfortunately, of the 130 articles published about medicine in almost 36 years of JASIST, although 70 (54%) deal with information retrieval, communication and the work processes behind them, only 2 of these articles (1.5%) have focused on the medical record.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The body of existing information retrieval work most relevant to the medical record as a base for experiment is the work called \u201cpassage retrieval\u201d defined as \u201cthe task of identifying and extracting fragments from large, or short but heterogeneous full text documents\u201d (Melucci, , p. 44).<\/jats:p><jats:p>This paper presents a document\u2010centered approach to the EHR as an information retrieval problem. It is clear that passage retrieval researchers working in the field of information science have seen similar values in document passages as have researchers in medical informatics. Without either literature acknowledging the other, workers in both camps have identified the same potential in document structure, labels, specificity and explicit hierarchies of knowledge for signaling relevance to the reader.

Information science has much to contribute to the health information technology arena and to electronic health records in particular: their development, their maintenance, and most importantly their improvement to serve the needs of diverse users.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.1450430190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,5]],"date-time":"2007-11-05T15:07:19Z","timestamp":1194275239000},"page":"1-30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Information retrieval in medicine: The electronic medical record as a new domain"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Catherine Arnott","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,10]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"Arnott SmithC.(2003) Effect of XML markup on retrieval of clinical documentsProceedings\/AMIA614\u20138","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1533-8525.1997.tb00490.x"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","DOI":"10.1016\/S1386-5056(99)00041-6"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","DOI":"10.1353\/pbm.1998.0034"},{"unstructured":"BirdL.
