Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Information Systems
  • Cancer Research Technology

Background:

  • Tertiary care facilities require robust systems for managing patient data for clinical trials, individual therapy, and research.
  • The Kuwait Center for Cancer Control aimed to enhance its data management capabilities.
  • Existing systems may not be cost-effective for all healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a cost-effective clinical information system (CIS) for a tertiary cancer care facility.
  • To develop a patient treatment and follow-up system (PTFS) leveraging modern database technology.
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of low-cost microcomputer systems in clinical information management and research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a patient treatment and follow-up system (PTFS) using personal computers.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful design and application of a CIS using low-cost microcomputers.
    • The PTFS effectively supports the collection and use of clinical information for treatment, follow-up, clinical trials, and research.
    • Demonstrated the viability of affordable microcomputer systems for clinical management and research needs.

    Conclusions:

    • Low-cost microcomputer systems are effective for clinical information management in healthcare facilities.
    • The developed PTFS meets the clinical management and research requirements of a cancer center.
    • The system's application is expected to be replicated in other healthcare facilities.
