Nursing Clinical Information System

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:

Integrated Healthcare System

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,...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Hospitals-II

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

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:

Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Computer Science

Background:

Implementing effective Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) is crucial for modern healthcare institutions.
Efficient distribution and visualization of medical images within hospital networks present significant technical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To present the solution adopted by the Heart Institute (InCor) of Sao Paulo for medical image distribution and visualization.
To describe a CORBA-based image server integrated into a PACS system for intranet use.

Main Methods:

Development of a CORBA-based image server.
Integration of the server for distributing DICOM images and associated reports.
Implementation of a client-server architecture allowing for decoupling of components.

Main Results:

Successful deployment of the medical image distribution and visualization solution at the Heart Institute.
The CORBA-based server enables efficient distribution of DICOM images and reports.
The decoupled architecture allows for solution reuse across different implementation sites.

Conclusions:

The implemented CORBA-based PACS solution effectively addresses medical image distribution and visualization needs within a hospital intranet.
The system's design promotes flexibility and reusability, demonstrated by its use in multiple hospitals and environments.
This approach enhances accessibility of medical imaging data for clinical use.
