Virtual patient records (VPR) integrate scattered health data for seamless longitudinal patient care. This framework enhances collaboration among healthcare providers, improving coordinated care delivery across health districts.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems in Healthcare
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Patient information is often fragmented across various healthcare settings, hindering comprehensive care.
  • Continuity of care is challenged by the lack of integrated access to patient data.
  • Autonomous healthcare providers require enhanced cooperation for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a Virtual Patient Record (VPR) framework for integrating dispersed medical information.
  • To enhance collaboration and coordination among healthcare providers within a health district.
  • To support longitudinal patient care through a cooperative working environment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a Virtual Patient Record (VPR) framework.
