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:
Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters assessment...
Guidelines for Nursing Documentation I01:30

Guidelines for Nursing Documentation I

Quality documentation and reporting share essential characteristics that ensure they are practical and valuable resources for those who use them. These characteristics are:
Factual:  
The following points emphasize the significance of upholding accurate and unbiased documentation in healthcare.
SBAR I: Understanding the Concept01:29

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems Management
  • Clinical Communication

Background:

  • Hospital Information Systems (HIS) are complex, evolving over years with workarounds.
  • Modifications to HIS can lead to significant negative side-effects.
  • Understanding communication issues in integrated HIS is crucial for system stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and verify a structured categorization of common communication problems in HIS.
  • To identify the underlying reasons for these communication issues.
  • To provide recommendations for avoiding identified problems.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative content analysis of existing literature from PubMed.
  • Problem-centered expert interviews to ensure validity and completeness.
  • Development of a hierarchical categorization of communication problems.

Main Results:

  • A five-level hierarchical categorization of HIS communication problems was created.
  • The categorization includes 81 distinct electronic communication problems.
  • A total of 229 entries detail problem reasons and avoidance recommendations.

Conclusions:

  • This categorization offers a unique, concise summary of HIS communication problems and their causes.
  • It serves as an intersection of relevant experiences, enhancing awareness and understanding.
  • Further evaluation in real-world environments is needed to confirm the categorization's accuracy.
