Abstract

Coupled with the implementation of various e-health solutions, is an exponential increase in the quantity of data created, captured, stored and awaiting analysis. To maximize these valuable data assets as well as create reliable and trustworthy e-health solutions, a systematic and robust organising data framework is a strategic imperative. We introduce the Intelligent Performance Management(IPM) framework as a model to facilitate the systematic capture, analysis and then application of relevant data, pertinent information and germane knowledge that will in turn help to realise superior healthcare. In so doing, we focus on the clinical context of Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.
