Complicated Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems have created problems in systems regarding an easy implementation and
interoperability for a Web-enabled Healthcare Solution, which is normally provided by an independent healthcare giver with
limited IT knowledge and interests. An EMR system with well-designed and user-friendly interface, such as Microsoft HealthVault
System used as the back-end platform of a Web-enabled healthcare application will be an approach to deal with these problems.
This paper analyzes the patient oriented Web-enabled healthcare service application as the new trend to delivery healthcare
from hospital/clinic-centric to patient-centric, the current e-healthcare applications, and the main backend EMR systems.
Then, we present a novel web-enabled healthcare solution based on Microsoft HealthVault EMR system to meet customers’ needs,
such as, low total cost, easily development and maintenance, and good interoperability. A sample system is given to show how
the solution can be fulfilled, evaluated, and validated. We expect that this paper will provide a deep understanding of the
available EMR systems, leading to insights for new solutions and approaches driven to next generation EMR systems. 相似文献

Clinical Pathways (CP) enhance the quality of patient care, and are thus important in health management. However, there is a need to address the challenge of adaptation of treatment procedures in CP—that is, the treatment schemes must be re-modified once the clinical status and other care conditions of patients in the healthcare setting change, which happen frequently. In addition, the widespread and frequent use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) implies an increasing need to combine CP with other healthcare information systems, especially EMR, in order to greatly improve healthcare quality and efficiency. This study proposed an ontology-based method to model CP: ontology was used to model CP domain terms; Semantic Web Rule language was used to model domain rules. In this way, the CP could reason over the rules, knowledge, and information collected, and provides automated error checking for the next steps of the treatment in runtime, which is adaptive to treatment procedures. To evaluate our method, we built a Lobectomia Pulmonalis CP and realized it based on an EMR system. 相似文献

In light of new federal policies allowing hospitals to subsidize the cost of information systems for physicians, we examine
the relationship between local hospital investments in information technology (IT) and physician EMR adoption. Data from two
Florida surveys were combined with secondary data from the State of Florida and the Area Resource File (ARF). Hierarchal logistic
regression was used to examine the effect of hospital adoption of clinical information systems on physician adoption of EMR
systems after controlling for confounders. In multivariate analysis, each additional clinical IT application adopted by a
local hospital was associated with an 8% increase in the odds of EMR adoption by physicians practicing in that county. Given
this existing relationship between hospital IT capabilities and physician adoption patterns, federal policies designed to
encourage this more directly will positively promote the proliferation of EMR systems. 相似文献

Clinical decision support (CDS) systems provide clinicians and other health care stakeholders with patient-specific assessments or recommendations to aid in the clinical decision-making process. Despite their demonstrated potential for improving health care quality, the widespread availability of CDS systems has been limited mainly by the difficulty and cost of sharing CDS knowledge among heterogeneous healthcare information systems. The purpose of this study was to design and develop a sharable clinical decision support (S-CDS) system that meets this challenge. The fundamental knowledge base consists of independent and reusable knowledge modules (KMs) to meet core CDS needs, wherein each KM is semantically well defined based on the standard information model, terminologies, and representation formalisms. A semantic web service framework was developed to identify, access, and leverage these KMs across diverse CDS applications and care settings. The S-CDS system has been validated in two distinct client CDS applications. Model-level evaluation results confirmed coherent knowledge representation. Application-level evaluation results reached an overall accuracy of 98.66 % and a completeness of 96.98 %. The evaluation results demonstrated the technical feasibility and application prospect of our approach. Compared with other CDS engineering efforts, our approach facilitates system development and implementation and improves system maintainability, scalability and efficiency, which contribute to the widespread adoption of effective CDS within the healthcare domain. 相似文献

Many studies have examined the integration of information systems into healthcare institutions, leading to several standards in the healthcare domain (CORBAmed: Common Object Request Broker Architecture in Medicine; HL7: Health Level Seven International; DICOM: Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine; and IHE: Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise). Due to the existence of a wide diversity of heterogeneous systems, three essential factors are necessary to fully integrate a system: data, functions and workflow. However, most of the previous studies have dealt with only one or two of these factors and this makes the system integration unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a flexible, scalable architecture for Hospital Information Systems (HIS). Our main purpose is to provide a practical solution to insure HIS interoperability so that healthcare institutions can communicate without being obliged to change their local information systems and without altering the tasks of the healthcare professionals. Our architecture is a mediation architecture with 3 levels: 1) a database level, 2) a middleware level and 3) a user interface level. The mediation is based on two central components: the Mediator and the Adapter. Using the XML format allows us to establish a structured, secured exchange of healthcare data. The notion of medical ontology is introduced to solve semantic conflicts and to unify the language used for the exchange. Our mediation architecture provides an effective, promising model that promotes the integration of hospital information systems that are autonomous, heterogeneous, semantically interoperable and platform-independent. 相似文献

Many existing healthcare information systems are composed of a number of heterogeneous systems and face the important issue
of system scalability. This paper first describes the comprehensive healthcare information systems used in National Taiwan
University Hospital (NTUH) and then presents a service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based healthcare information system (HIS)
based on the service standard HL7. The proposed architecture focuses on system scalability, in terms of both hardware and
software. Moreover, we describe how scalability is implemented in rightsizing, service groups, databases, and hardware scalability.
Although SOA-based systems sometimes display poor performance, through a performance evaluation of our HIS based on SOA, the
average response time for outpatient, inpatient, and emergency HL7Central systems are 0.035, 0.04, and 0.036 s, respectively.
The outpatient, inpatient, and emergency WebUI average response times are 0.79, 1.25, and 0.82 s. The scalability of the rightsizing
project and our evaluation results show that the SOA HIS we propose provides evidence that SOA can provide system scalability
and sustainability in a highly demanding healthcare information system. 相似文献

INTRODUCTIONThe identification of population-level healthcare needs using hospital electronic medical records (EMRs) is a promising approach for the evaluation and development of tailored healthcare services. Population segmentation based on healthcare needs may be possible using information on health and social service needs from EMRs. However, it is currently unknown if EMRs from restructured hospitals in Singapore provide information of sufficient quality for this purpose. We compared the inter-rater reliability between a population segment that was assigned prospectively and one that was assigned retrospectively based on EMR review.METHODS200 non-critical patients aged ≥ 55 years were prospectively evaluated by clinicians for their healthcare needs in the emergency department at Singapore General Hospital, Singapore. Trained clinician raters with no prior knowledge of these patients subsequently accessed the EMR up to the prospective rating date. A similar healthcare needs evaluation was conducted using the EMR. The inter-rater reliability between the two rating sets was evaluated using Cohen’s Kappa and the incidence of missing information was tabulated.RESULTSThe inter-rater reliability for the medical ‘global impression’ rating was 0.37 for doctors and 0.35 for nurses. The inter-rater reliability for the same variable, retrospectively rated by two doctors, was 0.75. Variables with a higher incidence of missing EMR information such as ‘social support in case of need’ and ‘patient activation’ had poorer inter-rater reliability.CONCLUSIONPre-existing EMR systems may not capture sufficient information for reliable determination of healthcare needs. Thus, we should consider integrating policy-relevant healthcare need variables into EMRs. 相似文献

Studies related to healthcare ICT integration in Malaysia are relatively little, thus this paper provide a literature review of the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the healthcare sector in Malaysia through the hospital information system (HIS). Our study emphasized on secondary data to investigate the factors related to ICT integration in healthcare through HIS. Therefore this paper aimed to gather an in depth understanding of issues related to HIS adoption, and contributing in fostering HIS adoption in Malaysia and other countries. This paper provides a direction for future research to study the correlation of factors affecting HIS adoption. Finally a research model is proposed using current adoption theories and external factors from human, technology, and organization perspectives. 相似文献

Recent trends in healthcare delivery have led to a gradual shift in the conceptualisation of healthcare information systems towards supporting healthcare processes in a more direct way. The move towards integrated and managed care, which requires designing healthcare processes around patient needs and incorporating efficiency considerations, has led to an increased interest in process-oriented healthcare information systems based on workflow technology. This means to actively deliver the tasks to be performed to the right persons at the right time with the necessary information and the application functions needed. Moreover, workflow technology promotes a component-oriented development whereby the process logic is separated from application logic. This paper presents an approach to capturing process logic requirements for healthcare workflow systems with a view to design a system that is easily adjustable to process changes and to evolving organizational structures at a reasonable cost. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to build an integrated medical information system for effective database management of clinical information and to improve the existing Electronic Medical Record (EMR)-based system that is currently being used in hospitals. The integrated medical information system of hospitals consists of an Order Communication System (OCS), Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS), and Laboratory Information System (LIS), as well as Electronic Medical Record (EMR). It is designed so that remote health screening and patient data search can be accessed through a high speed network-even in remote areas-in order to effectively manage data on medical treatment that patients received at their respective hospitals. The existing oriental treatment system is one in which the doctor requires the patient to visit the hospital in person, so as to be able to check the patient's pulse and measure it with his hand for proper diagnosis and treatment. However, due to the recent development of digitalized medical measurement equipment, not only can doctors now check a patient's pulse without touching it directly, but the measured data are computerized and stored into the database as the electronic obligation record. Thus, even if a patient cannot visit the hospital, proper medical treatment is available by analyzing the patient's medical history and diagnosis process in the remote area. Furthermore, when a comprehensive medical testing center system including the people medical examination and diverse physical examination is established, the quality of medical service is expected to be improved than now. 相似文献

Post-relational databases provide high performance and are currently widely used in American hospitals. As few hospital information systems (HIS) in either China or Japan are based on post-relational databases, here we introduce a new-generation electronic medical records (EMR) system called Hygeia, which was developed with the post-relational database Caché and the latest platform Ensemble. Utilizing the benefits of a post-relational database, Hygeia is equipped with an “integration” feature that allows all the system users to access data—with a fast response time—anywhere and at anytime. Performance tests of databases in EMR systems were implemented in both China and Japan. First, a comparison test was conducted between a post-relational database, Caché, and a relational database, Oracle, embedded in the EMR systems of a medium-sized first-class hospital in China. Second, a user terminal test was done on the EMR system Izanami, which is based on the identical database Caché and operates efficiently at the Miyazaki University Hospital in Japan. The results proved that the post-relational database Caché works faster than the relational database Oracle and showed perfect performance in the real-time EMR system. 相似文献

Over the past few years, the traditional paper-based medical record system has come under close scrutiny by every participant in the healthcare industry. Some groups, especially federal agencies such as Medicare and Medicaid, HMOs, and other third party payors, have begun to demand changes in medical record documentation, and have become very assertive as to what goals and objectives will be met. In contrast, the medical liability insurance industry has remained almost invisible during this period of transition. At a recent electronic medical records (EMR) conference participants attending a software development workshop were asked if they had their systems reviewed from a medicolegal standpoint by a malpractice insurance carrier. In response to this inquiry, not one software vendor raised their hand to indicate this had been accomplished, or was even contemplated. In the author's opinion, the key missing factor in the current quest for a paperless medical office system rests in the domain of those who represent the medical liability industry. All of these gate-keepers of medical loss and risk prevention will eventually be called upon, either by choice or necessity, to validate every working EMR system that is used in medical practices in the future. This article will explore the best information published from this currently silent sector of the industry, and proposes an active involvement by the medical liability industry in the current EMR design and development processes taking place. In addition, there are 10 minimum EMR design criteria contained in this article that are recommended for implementation based upon 16 years of medical malpractice experience and loss prevention input. 相似文献

Consequently, application services rendering remote medical services and electronic health record (EHR) have become a hot topic and stimulating increased interest in studying this subject in recent years. Information and communication technologies have been applied to the medical services and healthcare area for a number of years to resolve problems in medical management. Sharing EHR information can provide professional medical programs with consultancy, evaluation, and tracing services can certainly improve accessibility to the public receiving medical services or medical information at remote sites. With the widespread use of EHR, building a secure EHR sharing environment has attracted a lot of attention in both healthcare industry and academic community. Cloud computing paradigm is one of the popular healthIT infrastructures for facilitating EHR sharing and EHR integration. In this paper, we propose an EHR sharing and integration system in healthcare clouds and analyze the arising security and privacy issues in access and management of EHRs. 相似文献

Healthcare in America continues to be of paramount importance, and one of the most highly debated public policy issues of
our time. With annual expenditures already exceeding $2.4 trillion, and yielding less than optimal results, it stands to reason
that we must turn to promising tools and solutions, such as information technology (IT), to improve service efficiency and
quality of care. Presidential addresses in 2004 and 2008 laid out an agenda, framework, and timeline for national health information
technology investment and development. A national initiative was long overdue. This report we show that advancements in both
medical technologies and information systems can be capitalized upon, hence extending information systems usage beyond data
collection to include administrative and decision support, care plan development, quality improvement, etc. In this paper
we focus on healthcare services for palliative patients. We present the development and preliminary accounts of a successful
initiative in the Medical Center of Central Georgia where footprints information technology was modified and integrated into
the hospital’s palliative care service and existing EMR systems. The project provides evidence that there are a plethora of
areas in healthcare in which innovative application of information systems could significantly enhance the care delivered
to loved ones, and improve operations at the same time.. 相似文献
