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:
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

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...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Personal Health Records (PHRs) are crucial for patient engagement and care management.
  • Previous PHR development often lacked user-centered design and flexible architectures.
  • Innovation in PHR technology is needed to address diverse patient populations and conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To stimulate innovation in personal health records (PHRs) across the United States.
  • To explore user-centered design principles and a decoupled architecture for PHR development.
  • To investigate the ethical, legal, and social implications of advanced PHR technologies.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide initiative, Project HealthDesign, funded nine grantee teams over 18 months.
  • Teams focused on diverse applications: pediatric care, metabolic syndrome management, chronic disease management, and complex treatment coordination.
  • Development involved intensive user-centered design and the creation of a common technical core platform.

Main Results:

  • Successful development and testing of novel PHR applications tailored to specific patient needs.
  • Establishment of a development architecture separating PHR applications from underlying infrastructure.
  • Systematic investigation into privacy, data security, and shifts in healthcare decision-making authority.

Conclusions:

  • Project HealthDesign significantly advanced PHR development through user-centered design and a flexible architecture.
  • The initiative highlighted the importance of addressing ethical, legal, and social issues in health IT.
  • Patient-centered approaches in PHR design can rebalance healthcare decision-making authority.
