Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Information Systems
  • Electronic Health Records

Background:

  • Implementation of a new Clinical Information System (CIS) at Tiroler Landeskrankenanstalten GmbH (TILAK) hospitals.
  • The system aimed to integrate data from radiology, laboratory, and pathology with patient records.
  • Serving over 2,000 users, including the University Hospital of Innsbruck.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a comprehensive CIS serving multiple hospital sites.
  • To integrate disparate data sources into a unified Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
  • To assess the system's adaptability and user acceptance in a European healthcare setting.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Cerner Millennium software and Health Level 7 (HL7) standards for EPR development.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved project goals with satisfactory user acceptance of system functionalities.
    • Successfully integrated basic functionalities like documentation, scheduling, and order entry.
    • Standard HL7 interfaces enabled successful integration with existing systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Demonstrated successful implementation of an American-developed CIS in a European healthcare environment.
    • Required adaptations, such as the "Arztbrief" discharge summary, were accommodated.
    • Flexibility of the CIS and strong vendor-user communication were key success factors.
