Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Usability is critical for health information systems (HIS) adoption and effective use.
  • A systematic review is needed to understand trends and methods in HIS usability research.
  • Literature from 1990-2006 provides a foundational period for evaluating HIS usability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review applied usability studies of HIS published between 1990 and 2006.
  • To analyze the usability methods, properties, and trends in HIS evaluation.
  • To identify gaps and patterns in the reporting of usability study results.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of HIS usability studies.
  • Development of a framework to analyze study objectives, designs, participants, user-profiles, settings, medical domain, and HIS types.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on studies evaluating HIS usability.

Main Results:

  • Fifty-two papers were included in the review.
  • An increasing trend in HIS usability publications was observed from 2002 onwards.
  • Most studies reported summative results for working systems, emphasizing adoption challenges.

Conclusions:

  • Summative usability evaluations are prevalent, often highlighting system adoption barriers.
  • Formative usability studies need standardized methods for reporting their contribution to iterative HIS development.
  • Further research should focus on consistent reporting of formative usability study impacts.
