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,...

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:

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Oncology
Biomedical Informatics

Background:

Neuroblastoma research requires extensive data sharing and collaboration.
The European Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) identified a need for a robust IT infrastructure.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and implement an extensive web-based IT network for interdisciplinary biomedical research in neuroblastoma.
To support clinical trials and scientific studies through advanced data management and user functionalities.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a state-of-the-art multi-tiered IT architecture.
Development of features for electronic data capture, registration, review, user management, communication, and image management.
Deployment of an intuitive user interface and hierarchical roles to address challenges in data collection from centers with low patient volume.

Main Results:

The SIOPEN-R-NET is utilized by 345 active users from 240 institutions in 18 countries.
Over 960,000 item entries and 7,962 images from 1,260 patients are stored.
Three clinical trials and eight supporting scientific studies are currently implemented on the platform.

Conclusions:

The SIOPEN-R-NET system has been extensively used and has significantly advanced neuroblastoma research.
The platform effectively addresses challenges in data collection and management for rare pediatric cancers.
The IT network fosters interdisciplinary collaboration crucial for pediatric oncology advancements.
