A new electronic database streamlines patient symptom documentation in palliative care. This system enhances data management for the Minimal Documentation System (MIDOS), improving efficiency and patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Documentation

Context:

  • Palliative care units require efficient patient symptom tracking.
  • Existing documentation systems can present administrative burdens.
  • Electronic databases can improve data entry and system acceptance.

Purpose:

  • To develop an electronic database for the Minimal Documentation System (MIDOS).
  • To reduce administrative workload associated with patient self-assessment.
  • To enhance data entry and documentation processes for palliative care.

Summary:

  • An electronic database using Microsoft Access was created to support the Minimal Documentation System (MIDOS) for palliative care patients.
  • The database features screen masks for navigation and data entry, including checklists, pull-down menus, and free text options.

  • It integrates core documentation, validated questionnaires (Brief Pain Inventory, SF-12, Mini Mental State Examination), and follow-up consultation data, including pain, symptoms, and analgesic regimens.

    • Impact:

    • The database proved data safe and convenient in two palliative care trials.
    • It is recommended for routine assessment in palliative care wards when used with MIDOS and core documentation.
    • Streamlined documentation can lead to improved patient management and potentially better outcomes.
