Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Public Health
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Beta-thalassaemia is a significant public health issue in Greece, particularly affecting individuals of Mediterranean, African, and Southeast Asian descent.
  • Managing beta-thalassaemia requires complex, continuous care involving multiple specialists and distant healthcare units, leading to fragmented patient data.
  • Current paper-based medical records hinder communication and impede crucial medical research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an electronic healthcare record (EHCR) system for comprehensive data management in beta-thalassaemia patient care.
  • To facilitate the recording, communication, and processing of all data related to beta-thalassaemia patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Development of JAnaemia, a Java-based Electronic Healthcare Record (EHCR) application, customized for beta-thalassaemia care in collaboration with four Greek hospitals.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Implementation based on the ENV 13606:1999 standard for EHCR architecture, ensuring clinical comprehensiveness, data sharing, and adherence to ethical and medico-legal standards.
  • User-friendly, form-based interface designed for efficient data entry and processing.

    • Main Results:

    • Improved data recording quality through guided data entry forms.
    • Enhanced inter-physician cooperation via a shared information repository.
    • Increased data processing capabilities, supporting and facilitating medical research.

    Conclusions:

    • JAnaemia is a valuable tool for enhancing the quality of care for beta-thalassaemia patients in Greece.
    • The system addresses challenges of fragmented data and communication in managing chronic diseases.
    • Electronic healthcare records can significantly improve patient management and research in specialized medical fields.
